Hello All, My car has a shaky idle when its idling in drive. It choppy and will really piss me off. Above an idle it runs really good. Does anyone have any ideas?? I have new plugs, plug wires, distr. cap, rotor button, pcv, fuel filter, timing belt....the whole 9.....Also, Has anyone removed their conveter and lost bottom end power???

Sometimes a bad EGR valve can mess with the idle.

how much are they

The IAC can and most likely will cause your rough idle problem. If it's a bad EGR, your car will be sluggish all the way through the power band. Do you have a CEL? If so, have the code read. HTH, Steve

steve whats the IAC ?? how much do they cost

The IAC is the Idle Air Control motor, they are not cheep they can be anywhere from 100 all the way up to 300 dollars just depends. Jose G

My converter is gutted out and I still have plenty of HP at low speeds but my powerband is better at abot 3300+

My car is idling identical to yours. Adjusting you idle might be a fix. My car has low fuel pressure however which the dealer said was the cause of it behaving that way among other problems. Carolyn 96 SE

i can answer your speaker question. Your rear back stock speackers are 5X7 and the front speakers i believe are either 5 or 5 1/2. You have a preamplified system and when you change your speakers, check behind the right rear speaker, its feels like a huge amp. if u change your system, the best option would be to rewire your speaker straight to your deck. i installed my deck to the amp, and it really sucked, there's a lot of static, and its gets toooo loud too quick. hope that helped u out. nathan 93 SE no muffler crackin system Oly WA

Did you try checking your cap & rotor? I'd complete the ignition system diagnostic & maintenance first since it is the cheapest & easiest to do before you worry about looking at the other systems in the car. I had some mild clunking sounds in the front also when I turned the wheel. It turned out to be bad lower control arm bushings. Once I replace them the clunking sounds went away. :-) -Lino Sacman, SCPOC Hybrid '93/'95 Rio-Red PSE, 5-spd

It had a new rotor a year ago- the cap I'm not sure. Maybe I'll try a new cap then.
