New timing belt at 70,000 Miles.
Power windows had many problems.
Water pump at 145,000 miles.
Massive oil leaks and consumption.
Exhaust manifold replaced.
First, Second, and Third gear needed new synchronizers. Needed new clutch as soon as I got the car, yet held off until 140,000 miles.
Idling problems: Revving and idling extremely high. (3,500RPM'S)
A massive money pit.
Yet is extremely quick and accelerates like a charm.
The engine is very well built, yet the transmission is extremely poor.
All the seals and gaskets were replaced on the engine twice due to oil leakage and burning.
Very comfortable and laid out quite conveniently.
Hi! I was wondering what you had to do to fix the idling problem. A talon I'm thinking about buying Idled high for a little bit, and then kept revving up and down. I was wondering if you could help. mindrage00@webtv.net.
Whats up man? I have a 95 Talon TSi. I had the same problem with it reving and idling high. Like at 3,500 rpm. The problem is either your throttle body, or your throttle sensors. Get it checked out, and good luck.
I would also like to know what you did to fix this rewing problem. My e-mail is jimmydashboard@hotmail.com.
Can't say anything for sure about turbos, but in my non-turbo, idle surge was caused by a bad mass air flow sensor and a hole in the intake pipe. Other common causes are bad electrolytic capacitors in the ECU (they break down and leak after ~7 years), leaking BISS (idle set) screw, and dirty throttle body. The throttle body is easy to clean (pick up a Hayne's manual for instructions), ECU cap replacement is available on-line (I forgot the URL offhand, though--try searching google), and the BISS screw procedure is: remove the screw and check the o-ring for condition; replace if necessary.
