do what i told you go to the shop i put you onto over near the rs strauss that we went to... they know their shiiiiiznit... they do all the work for the almost all the car dealers on northern blvd over there... hit me up later and let me know what the deal is...
idle speed control is about $220
vacuum rail??? do you mean the driver side fuel rail??? if its the rail it should be about $75 ...
aighhht big tone..talk to ya lataaaa....

doubt it was that the fuel lines froze that night, know why?.... cuz when the mechanic was lookin at the car while it was on it started to rumble and ended up turning off again right infront of him and after that stall it didnt wanna turn on anymore lol.... its a mess... hope its all things that can be fixed easily, and im also taking the moment to tune it up mechanically.

Just saw your thread. I remember looking at your car at the meet we had at Todds. You do have a vacuum leak and a variety of other problems with that car. My suggestion is to have your car diagnosed by the dealer with the scan tool that plugs into your obd2 port. If you don't want to go to the dealer for that, have your local autozone just use the scanner to read the trouble codes. Know what the problems are exactley so you can plan on addressing it. It is not a bad battery issue. I had a weak battery at one point because I left my car in my hot garage during a hot week. My car never went haywire with guages going nuts etc. because of a weak battery. Hold off on spending the cash on mods right now. Address the mechanical issues and maintainance first.

UPDATE Well this whole thing happened last saturday.... sunday.....i stayed home because i had no choice.... monday - tuesday - wed - thurs - fri ........i take 2 buses to and from work.....kinda sucked....after having the car towed, and sitting infront of the house for a week.... i left work early and pushed the car down the block to the mechanic..... he tried turning the car on with the same results.... nothing... just a crank an engine rumble and a stall........plugged in a diagnostics machine.... gave him no problems...............so guess what?......
HE PUT GAS IN IT AND THE CAR STARTED.............................................................
the end.
