First, check if the MAS connector is plugged in correctly. This is the most
reason for this. Also let us know what you've done to the car when you
disconnected the battery (add / changed what, how). No, it will not idle bad due
to fact of unhooking the battery as this will actually reset the ECU. If
everything is connected properly (also hoses and tubes) then drive the car for a
minute and you should be fine.

I did not change anything, I just put an after market set of fog lights on my
car. Dodge told me that by resetting the ECU, that it can cause this, and
someone told me how to fix it.. I think it was to keep the car at 2k rpms and
then it should get back to running how it was supposed to. Other than the fog
lights, I did nothing.

Jeff;

Sounds strange if you didn't touch anything else. Nothing? The ECU disconnect/reconnect
normally allows for immediate reset of the idle and all most other standard or baseline
onboard features that do not require fine tuning.

Roger's advice is accurate if you unplugged the MAS, as is done wihen installing air
filter mods for example. I would have thought it was that for sure from your described
problem.

Did you reconnect your terminals tightly? and insure they were clean? Have you tried the
advice of just taking the car out  for a short accelration up and down the rpm band? If
hesitant to do so, at least pop the throttle a few times and see if that'll kick it in.

Best

Arty, How makes an aftermarket radiator for our cars that is better?  I
notice you are selling yours, so I assume you found one? Thanks
Joshua

Yeh, all I did was actually take the bolt off the battery terminal. I had
this problem when i changed batteries last time also. Well, I'm about to go
out and see if i can fix her up. : ) I'll tell you what happens.

Subject: Team3S: 2 yr old valve lifters getting noisy

I used to ignore all the chat about noisy valve lifters 'cause the previous
owner of my '91 VR4 replaced the whole set about a year before I got the car.
(records indicate about $700 parts + labor for the full set) I figured I was
safe for at least a few more years - regular oil changes w/ Mobil 1
synthetic, no hard revs when the engine is cold, etc. Of course now I have
some valve noise...

I poked around on the archives but couldn't find any of the previous valve
noise discussion. I remember some talk about doing an oil flush when
switching from natural to synthetic oil. I switched to synthetic on my first
oil change so I may need to do this. Other than the oil flush, what else do I
need to try?

Appreciate any advice I can get.

Also, there was a really good technical description of what causes the noise
posted by a Mitsu mechanic, I believe. Does anybody know where this is on the
archives?

Thanks

Paul Klusman

Rich-
No, I don't "ride" the brakes.   I have lived in the Appalacians for more
than
a half century.  Also, automobile high performance has been my hobby for
more than 50 years.  (Maybe I'm an older "poop" than you.)  I stab  the
brakes just before the turn, then ride with heavy lateral g's through the
turn.
This sometimes irritates my wife a little, but I enjoy it immensly.  I do it
kind of "big-time" when I'm alone. I have new front brake rotors in hand,
and
hope they will cure the severe steering wheel shake when I get them
installed.

Changing the subject, I'd like to know if anyone has come up with an
upper front strut tower brace.  I think my '95 VR-4 really needs one.
I don't race any more, but I corner pretty hard on mountain roads,
and there are too many "flex-pops" coming from my car in serious
cornering.
