Washed the engine bay and was careful not to hit anything electrical or dizzy or alt and now iv got a high idle. I mainly washed the valve cover cus its leaking.
Would the water on alt or dizzy give me a high idle.

Iv checked for that. Didnt find a single thing loose. I had the worst time figuring out the previous high idle issue on this renix. Ended up being bad grounds to the sensors in the factory wireing harness. But all things seem tight this time.

So my bolt that connects the track bar at the axle, for some reason I couldn't get the nut on it, after an hour of fighting I'm tired of it. Can I just weld the bolt on?

. Have someone turn the wheel back and forth for you, it will line up.

Valve cover's pretty close to the TPS/IAC. Also if you blew caked on ancient oil tar goop crap off of a crack in a hose or poorly seated intake manifold that could cause a vacuum leak.

It's a lot easier to just have one welded up. I tried the wrench over bit route and it was a PITA. Lol that torx bolt Is in there tighttt
