the only thing in that list i would know how to do is check battery cables for corrosion... but as stated in first post, had them changed about 4 months ago or less

Regarding the scanner problem: Your '94 has an OBD2 connector under dash, which is why they were able to connect to it at all, but it has OBD1 programing. (the simplifed version). There are some people here on the club who have ACTRON CP9145 scanners with a special cable you can buy that adapts it to the '94-95 situation.

As to checking vacuum leaks:

First locate all the vacuum lines in your engine compartment. They are the thin hard plastic and/or metal lines that run throughout the compartment. They are a low pressure line, so the connectors are simple rubber push-in types. Follow the path of each line and make sure that none are disconnected (pulled loose). Also check to make sure that there are no small splits or cracks i the lines or (more likely) the rubber connectors.

Repairs on these are cheap and easy. Just buy the generic vacuum hose at your local parts store. It usually runs about $1.00 a foot or so.

If you don't see any obvious problems, use a can of Carb/Choke cleaner and spray it around all the lines while the car is running. If there is any change in the engine while you are spraying near a particular line, then you know where to look closer.

Throttle body cleaning has been covered here a number of times. Try a quick search on "Throttle Body Cleaning".

Also, even though you just had the battery cables changed a few months ago, it does not mean that corrosion could not have formed already or that you might have a loose connection. It doesn't hurt to check it out and costs nothing.

hehe thank you

Back with your easy answers again....

Here'* a TECHINFO article on TB cleaning:
Throttle Body Cleaning

And here'* a decent recent thread about it:
http://www.bonnevilleclub.com/forum/...+body+cleaning

just looked at both of those....... and the techinfo would be nice if i knew what the things on there were and where to find them on car............... im 17 and never actually worked or been around people working on cars....... kinda wish i was a little kid now

That'* OK, we don't mind.

Here'* what your engine looks like under the engine cover, right?



The Throttle Body is under that metal bracket on the right (driver'* side of the engine) and connects on the left to the large black plastic item in the center of the picture (called the plenum or Upper Intake Manifold). It also connects to the air intake hose (shown to the right and leaving the picture on the right.

k i think i got it......... earlier someone said check vacuum hoses............ well i have a cold air intake.... so it easier to see under there but there is a black cylinder that sorta has its own "hole" or "cubby"..... but the way a vacuum hose was described.... think there is one going to it that has an extremely bad (looks like a wire nut but rubbery) i cant think of the word.... but its rubbery ===== : vacuum hose 00000: rubbery thing i dont know is called \\ : wire that goes down into black cylinder looking thing


=======00000=
\\
"theblack cylinder"


this is the best i can describe it




well it is centered to the left so the whole half *** pictured doesnt work................. but the cyliner has numbers on it and says air

OK, the thing circled in yellow is the throttle body (under that bracket)

The yellow arrow points at one of many vacuum lines. They are small diameter.

The red arrow points to and EGR tube. This wasn't mentioned before, but is another potential source of vacuum leak. Carefully inspect this tube for breaks, cracks, or holes, especially underneath where it'* hard to see.

Does this help?

Note: compare locations to the larger image above for clarity.

okay i got it........... in your picture..... looking a the yellow circle....... looking at far left of the cirlce --->O on the inside..... the two tubes that run in a u shape and go back........... well it the top one........ i just followed it and it runs down to below the air filter box........ it has an extremely bad rubber connector at the end and the ones along the line are the best either

------------------------ edit--------------------------------------
its the bottom one of the two (not top) sorry

OK, those could certainly be one source of a problem.

If those rubber connectors are straight, as I think the are IIRC, the you can just replace them with a short cut piece of rubber vacuum line you get at the parts store as mentioned above. I personally replaced everyone of my rubber connectors at the same time, so as to avoid future issues. One foot of 7/64" and one foot of 9/64" rubber vacuum line was all I neede and still had a couple short pieces left.

Since yours is a '94 bring in a sample of each size to verify I.D. size before purchase.
