    I have two nagging problems that I hope someone can help me with. 1) the dash goes out for no reason with no warning when driving. This does not happen all the time and it is usually only for a short peroids of time. I have removed the instrument cluster and it seems fine and the connection seems good. 2) When it is hot out the car is hard to start. We have to keep our foot in the gas to keep it running for a short period of time. It will not idle. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks for the post but I replaced the IVC several months ago. Do you think it might be a vacuum hose issue?
