I had some car trouble on friday, and through the help of the forum members and the archives i was able to get the car back in shape, quickly and inexpensively. I had a coolant leak that was coming from the uppermost expansion tank hose. The plastic threading that the hose is clamped onto had dried out and cracked so i simply slid the hose up further and tightened it up. My idle/starting problem was taken care of by cleaning out the ICV, throttly body, and cleaning off the connections on the TPS (not sure how much this had to do w/ everything). I also replaced the fuel filter. The car is running great at the moment. I just have to take care of the loose valve thats driving me nuts. BTW I also replaced the tranny mounts and it made a world of difference, the car feels tighter overall and there is no slop in the shifter. Thanks everyone.
