I own the above mentioned car. I have not dirven it for a couple of weeks. I decided to drive it to class on Thursday and all was fine. I then drove it to the store, parked it went in and came out to restart. Just as I pulled out of the lot, the idle surged to 3,000. I shout it off immediatly and restarted. The car would then just not idle. I did not see anything obvious in terms of popped of vaccume lines or turbo hoses. Does anyone have any idea before I push it off the cliff? lol I'm on the verge of putting a LH manifold on it, but I want it to run right before I do that in case that creates other prolems. Though If I'm going to repalce vaccume lines I will need to pull the manifold anyway.
