[QUOTE="A1cntrler, post: 1003851, member: 54815"] The IAC suggestion there might fix the erratic idle. As for where the glugging sound was coming from.... Were there bubbles in the radiator overflow bottle? If you have bubbles in there while running or shortly after turning it off it is a symptom of a blown head gasket. Check to see that your oil is not milky colored or that there isn't oil floating on the top of your overflow tank. A blown head gasket can also cause the idle to be erratic. If you have anitfreeze in the oil pan you will at a minimum need to replace the bearings along with removing the head, getting it decked, and replacing the gasket. [/QUOTE]
