Are 20 mile drives to and from work considered short drives? Whats wierd too is my trip to Alpena? Well, it definately wansn't a normal trip. I'll just say the normal drive time is 2 hours, I was there in 1 hour 7 minutes :P What can I say, the road was empty. Anyway, the car ran at steady high RPM's for awhile then too, but went away. Now after I posted its back, its gone again (the knock that is) but it still idles really rough, I mean I feel the vibration of the engine in my seat now at idle.

Should I be checking simple things like plugs and wires first? de-carbonizing the engine sounds $$$$ since I'm sure they have to pull the heads off, at least thats what I'm assuming.

I do have to install the new IMRC, replace the sticking IAC, and clean my intake manifolds again, and I think I'm going to switch to Autolites anway. Think its worth a shot?

I just dumped a buttload of money into the trans, and the engine has always ran well, until BAM, this happens this weekend out of the blue.
