CLEAN CONNECTORS?

Whats do you guys use to clean connector? I was told alcohol and a Q-Tip?

If they're real bad and you can remove them from the harness (I believe most you can) you can clean them much easier with some sand paper or similar. Also make sure the prongs in the female side are bent down enough for good contact.

I've never tried alcohol and a q-tip but that might work. They do also make some electrical cleaner that you can pick up at just about any automotive parts store.

THANKS.......Because my car is idleing a litte high like at 1100rpm. Also my throttle cable got stuck while i was driving today because i let my foot of the pedal but the car was still going; It was kinda scary lol. Do you know what the problem could be? And also sometime my oil pressure gauge read 30psi at idle and 50-60psi at 3.5rpm which I think is normal. But some times at idle its a 15psi and at 3.5 rpm its at 30psi. How do i know if its the sender, gauge, or oil pump?

I'd inspect your throttle cable, make sure there are not kinks or anything. Also make sure your floor mat isn't catching under the throttle, I've had that happen plenty of times and luckily all times have been with a relatively slow car.

Oil pressure wise, the oil pressure will vary with temperature as the viscosity of the oil changes. If anything is wrong though, its probably the oil pressure sensor. If it didn't have regular oil changes throughout its life its possible that it could be gummed up and not showing the correct oil pressure.

Usually gauges aren't much of a problem and I've not heard of many oil pump failures so that just leaves the sensor.

Ok well thank you.
