Idle Sputtering
I have a 92 se. five speed. about 130,000 miles. at initial start-up car idles at roughly 1400 rpm after if warms up a little idle drops to 900 and runs smooth sometimes with out any problems. While driving on the highway or driving at any crusing speed the car runs great. Other times for instance when stopped at a red light the car will bounce between 100-700 rpms and eventually just die. i havent checked anything out yet because it just started happening.

^^i forget exactly when but about 11 years ago (when it was my dads car) the oil was changed but they did something wrong and all the oil was drained (seizing the engine too) and sprayed all over the engine bay. Ever since then it's been truly nasty under there, but at this point I don't care about her.
For the record it still has that same engine (and tranny) with 202k miles as of today, a testament to the VG.

Awsome I got 146k. I found that using the green yellow top Armoral Wipes works wonder on the plastic and tubes in the engine bay. it puts like a layer over it preventing dust from collecting. that pic I took was this morning and I cleaned it last month. I drive it EVERY day too.
