    Just for curiousity, can one of those aftermarket exhaust have any bad effects on an engine if they start to go bad? Anyway so if it's only affecting idle and it runs fine above that what is that saying? I'm hoping no more major problems... I would be really happy if it was a clogged fuel filter. It hasn't been changed in about 4 1/2 years.

    If it's a standard resonator (muffler), the odds are slim. If they develop a hole in them, however, it can really screw up "carburetion."

    Im trying to look up the Idle Air Control Valve in the Chilton and I'm not finding much, do you have information on that?

    No. They are located on the back of the Throttle Body. Remove and clean or replace.

    Okay I've been trying for hours and I can't get that banjo bolt to budge. I am using a socket. Is it really going to make that much of a difference using a flare nut wrench? I got The other line off, but that bolt just won't budge!

    Oh yeah when I took the service bolt out there was ice on it.

    Sounds like you have water (and ice) in the fuel system. I would definitely replace the fuel filter. If you have the fuel line off, then you won't need the flare wrench. Flare wrenches keep you from distorting the nut.

    No the banjo bolt still needs to come off... I have the fuel line off on one side, but not the side with the banjo bolt.

    Use a box-end wrench, not a socket.

    Thanks for the help. Some new gas, and a new fuel filter and it runs just like it did before. Thanks again.
