...Sorry, that is to say, if you have to stand on the brake to keep the car from creeping or if you have to feather the throttle to keep it running, it's not right...

Haha yeah. Had another little scare today when I finished the project up and drove for a second and the check engine light came on followed by the 0122 code. Then I remembered that I keep the key on the "on" position while working on it to listen to NPR thus the throttle body, MAF, and accompanying sensors were disconnected while the VX was "conscious." Cleared the code, and drove some stop and go w/some highway, no problems. Check the throttle position sensor, associated cables and connections and all systems are a go. While I was under the hood I might have also gone ahead and detailed the engine compartment

VXorado for a fellow VX I'd take 50 bucks plus whatever shipping and packaging would be. That covers the Yakima mighty mounts alone It's an IPF aluminum rack, a prototype before IPF migrated to mainly lights and stuff. They were used as ARB's aluminum products manufacturer for a while. Not as sturdy as the Yak rack cause it flexes but weighs nothing and looks like it was made for the VX. No broken pieces, some minor scratches

Thats a great deal and I'll take it. Just let me know the total price with S&H... no rush if you're busy. My zip is 80241, thanks

Our idle spec is 750 rpm when warm. It's totally controlled by the PCM and there's no way to mechanically adjust it. I'm guessing if you're more than 100 rpm out of spec there's something that needs attention. The PCM is trying to keep idle at 750. I'm not saying it's a huge problem. Sometimes these things are hard to track down and you may make it worse.



I just took this pic of mine a few minutes ago idling in park while warm. It's purring like a kitten at 750 rpm. If my engine with that many miles on it can idle correctly, then there's no reason why every other VX engine can't do the same.
