I had my HG replaced ('95 CS) in November. Since then, I've noticed that I'm going through oil way more than before (a quart in 3k miles, never added a drop in 7 years before the HG) and my lifters tick every morning. Once they pump up, they quiet right down.
The car also revs way up when cold starting, up to almost 3k rpm and back down. Never did this before the HG replacement either. My indy cleaned the idle control valve, which did nothing.
Pretty concerned...this car ran perfectly (189k miles) before the HG replacement, but I was just starting to loose a tiny bit of coolant. I figured spending the $1,800 was worth it, but I don't like these problems that developed.
Thanks for any advice.
