First, thanks again all for your help with my new free '93. I've got it running now. As you said, the loud engine noises went away when I let the car run for a few minutes. All seems pretty much fine. Now for some minor issues... drivers door adjustment. Passenger front window not working right. Buttwarmers not working. Other miscelleneous stuff. But she's almost a driver.

There are two issues though that I'll need to sort first.

1) When I started it yesterday, it idled and revved fine until it warmed up. Then I revved it and it didn't come back to idle.. it just died. Started right back up, but wouldn't idle. I took it for a very short test drive and at one point, it stumbled big time and I had to pump the gas a lot to keep it going at all. Then it came back online again and was fine thereafter. My guess on this one is just bad gas... the car sat for 6-12 months before I got it, and the tank was almost empty. I'm guessing a bit of condensation/water in the gas, not to mention stale gasoline. But is there something else I might want to have a looksee at?

2) A fairly loud grumbling noise in the front end. Not a CV joint. More like a wheel bearing. Doesn't seem to matter if I'm coasting or accellerating, or turning or going straight. just a constant low grumble. Bearing. I'm just wondering what to expect here as far as parts required, and if it's something a fella can do himself with fairly basic tools, or if I should just pay someone to take care of this one...

Thanks again.. I think I'm about done with simple questions...

-Matt
