LBZ: Really rough idle

[zeke38]

Driving home this morning my steering started getting hard. Got home popped the hood and a part of my belt broke apart and cut a powersteering hose. Then I went to start it to move it out of the way and discovered the rough idle and it would die. If I give it a lil throttle it smooths right out and runs normal til it returns to idle speed. Tried to take a video. Ill post the link when it uploads

Sounds horrible!

Sure the belt didn't cut anything else like some wires?

 

[zeke38]

Didn't see any. Only codes are barometric pressure and a vane sensor code

Thinking maybe torque converter bolts have backed out. Only codes are the intermittent barometric pressure code thats been there for two years and a vane sensor code occasionally.

Pulled the starter. Looks like the torque converter bolts backed out. You guys use blue loctite on these usually? Can't remember if I did when I had it out last year?:banghead:

blue loctite should be good enough to keep em tight

Sounds kinda like the old F-350 I used to drive. Sounded like it was grinding up a bucket of nuts and bolts!

6 new torque converter bolts. 42 $

That's cheap compared to what it could have possibly been. Be thankful it was only $42 and not $4200 or more!!

 

[zeke38]

Ha yea. We'll see what happens when I put them in first.

Whoa, I accidently skipped the word "steering" in the first sentence. Had to do a double read.
