Every once and a while, the car will not idle at the proper speed. When I come to a stop, the engine runs fine, but idles at 1500 R.PM. If I shut the engine off and re-start it everything is fine, the idle is around 700-800 R.PM. Any ideas? The car has recently been tuned up and otherwise is in excellent condition. which has been around for ANSWER: Chris, if you've had an Electronic Engine Control test per- formed and you only have received pass codes, then we've come up with 4 pos- sibilities, which won't necessarily gen- erate a fault code in the Powertrain Con- trol Module (P.C.M.). First, your vehicle may be involved in recall 91E19 that is a wiring harness jumper connector. A local dealer could check your vehicle serial number to see if this applies to your vehicle and it's FREE! This recall deals with emission control; however, it could also affect the Throttle Position Sensor. The second possibility could be a thermostat that is sticking open. This could allow the engine to cool down and go back into the fast idle mode. The third iter to check is the build up in the Idle Air Bypass Valve (the P.C.M. uses this to control engine idle speed) could cause erratic idle speeds. The fourth and final item to check is a malfunctioning Thermactor Air Divertor Solenoid (T.A.D.). This could Weidner has switche Name this column! ca- cover it, Thompson said. wrong part of the exhaust. The P.C.M. would receive an erroneous Oxygen Sensor reading and attempt various measures to correct this. One of these measures could result in a higher than normal idle speed.

Olde Hide House requests sign Halton officials believe the Province will support its request to keep the words "Highway 25" on direction signs on the 401 to avoid confusion for the 300,000 annual visitors and tourists who are told that it is worth the drive to Acton. Olde Hide House presi- dent Steve Dawkins recently asked regional council to consider the suggestion -- he was worried that tourists looking for the Highway 25 cutoff to Acton might miss it now that the highway has - | Road conditions CHRIS LAWSON, ACTON cause thermactor air to be sent to the Se - Saal a Se ae SR Ser SE eae ee ut eres ae ee ae ee --_ a i. @ saw 2 a ee Se sa a oc | sant Guanes eae Customer Appreciation Days March 2, 3, 4, 1998 11:00 AM - 12:00 AM Daily! 1 Medium Pizza with 3 Traditional Toppings WE WILL MATCH ANY COMPETITOR'S ADVERTISED SPECIAL OR COUPON IN TOWN!!!* WHEN YOU WANT GREAT QUALITY PIZZA JUST REMEMBER OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK ACTON 853-3030 Letters of concern about the future of two rural roads in the Acton area are on the agenda for Monday's cuncil meeting. Acton Councillor Rick Bonnette tabled letters from Fourth Line and Fifth Line residents at Monday's gen- eral committee meeting, not- ing that the requests for im- provements will probably questioned end up at the Town's budget committee talks. "Approximately 18 resi- dents of the Fifth Line, north of Highway 7, sent us a peti- tion asking when their road is going to be improved," Bonnette explained, adding that he'd travelled the Fifth Line recently and found that it was in bad shape with pot- holes, ruts and dust.

After receiving Dawkin's concerns in a letter Halton councillors voted to ask the Province to include the old Highway 25 designation, as well as the new name, Re- gional Road 25,on new signs. In his letter Dawkins said, "it's not an exaggeration to state that we have directionally anchored al- most 20 years of intensive marketing efforts on that par- ticular interchange." In an interview on Fri Dawkins said to drop all ref- erence to the road as a pro- vincial or King's highway would be confusing and bad for Acton that actively pro- motes itself as a tourist des- tination. "What was called High- way 25 in the south part of Halton has some of char- acter or historical grounding but the road in the north has always been known as High- way 25," Dawkins said, add- ing that dual names have al- ready been used on other highways that are no longer under Provincial control. "This is a very serious is- sue and not just as far as the Hide House is concerned, but serious as far as every other business that uses exit 320 to draw people off the 401," Dawkins said, adding that impulse visitors would also be discouaged because "who wants to go off on a regional road?"
