ROFL, I POSTED THIS 1 MIN AGO WOW FAST REPLY LOl.

and yes it does look like a bird cage.

I sit on here for the better part of the day. I'm off and the wife's working. So, I get bored.

The light is the coolant light. Might be low on coolant, overflow bottle not filled or the dreaded BHG.

thx for the replied homie. ill get right on it.

1 more question, my engine sometimes will shake a lil bit, and the rpm will go from 500 - 1000 while its in neutral.

is that normal?

Is your normal rpm 500? Does it go from 500 to 1000, then back down to 500 and so on, or does this just happen once and stay at 1000? Could be a vacuum leak.

Yeah, I'd stands on that.

yes it goes from 500 to like 800 and then goes back down and does it again.
thx for the quick repley

Sounds vacuum related to me, also I would recommend making sure everything is good on your timing.
