Thanks for the offer, if I strike out at my local parts pull I will PM you.
I bought this car from a guy that had been tinkering on this car with his son. After fixing a high idle from a bad IAC I took a test drive and heard a racket coming from the half shafts.
Well I...
Car currently has an automatic booster.
Chased my die on decel to a vacuum brake booster issue last year. Just now getting around to fixing it, (been driving my truck).
Looking for the right replacement booster. Autozone shows one for...
By static yes thats with the vac supply to the reg unplugged
I fought a similar sounding problem with my 2.2 for a while. Rough stumbling idle with sooty exhaust. I traced it to a bad vacuum brake booster. It leaks down slowly and when i would start the car...
What am I looking for when "matching?"
Needing to replace mine.
Boy when this thing runs right it sure is a blast.
A fine looking car! I need to rib my dad into getting his survivor AAR out a little more.
Great looking paint & body work!
I chasing a signal power and or ground problem right now. It will every so often read 2 psi vacuum at idle and open up the injector pulse width. Usually wont stay running like this. When it is...
It is still behaving, for the most part. It lets me know it still has a wild side though. I think it enjoys playing with me. Wipers linkages just fell apart. This car has some personality alright......
By God I think you got it!
Back up and running. Just started over and timed it. The intermediate shaft sprocket would have come all the way off had the lower cover not been there. It held it but...

Ok I found the REAL problem. My intermediate shaft sprocket came loose. I must have forgotten to torque it or Loctite it, or both.
So the timing belt was riding on only half the sprocket and must...

My dad and I gave it a valiant effort. But it seems to have gone from flyin high to six feet under with no in between. I'll dig into it tomorrow I just got the thing drug home
Crap! I'm stranded!
Seems like the fuel pump died.
Wasnt fuel after all. Misinterpreted the smell. Oil on the cowl from setting the valve cover there.
Doh!
Well the lifter noise grew back...
Luckily I found more PT lifters so i can finish the job!
On a note of concern I can smell fuel when driving but cannot for the life of me see any leaks...
Rechecked my shims and made some adjustments, whisper quiet now! All you hear is injectors clicking away.
Just got back from a 45 minute test drive. Boy this thing is going to wanna run. Even...
