    One last try

    I know I've posted this problem more than once. And I know that so far no one has had any ideas I haven't already tried. But here we go, one last time. My car has a serious air fuel mixture problem. At idle, it blows large clouds of both black and white smoke. Throughout the driving range, the...

    The death of a 'loved one'

    My way over priced N/A motor bit the dust today at only 3,000 miles. While attempting to set belt timing, I accidentally left the belt un-tightened and the engine jumped timing. Something in the rear of the motor broke. I heard it while turning the crank by hand, then heard it again when I...

    A new set of problems

    Well, I guess I made a major mistake earlier when I attempted to set the belt timing back. I have since tried three times. I cannot even get the engine to fire on all four cylinders now. The number one spark plug wont even fire until you turn the distributor to where it barley even runs. I'm...

    Knock sensor all knocked up...

    Well, after changing my fuel injectors, O2 sensor, TPS, ECT, Distributor, and DIS Module, the car acted WORSE THAN EVER on the road. So I came home and unplugged the knock sensor on a hunch. It cleared right up. Keeping in mind that I have an N/A, does this mean the sensor is bad? Or does it...

    I really need you guys help on this one

    Soo, some of you may already know my 87 2.3 N/A is having a Major Air/Fuel mixture problem. For those who don't, I have replaced my Fuel injectors, ECT, Air Filter, and It still runs VERY rich. It got even worse with the new fuel injectors. My O2 Sensor is fairly new, but has been moved from one...

    New Injectors / Why the hell

    Well, I just got done replacing my fuel injectors and my ECT. Now, I finally get a temperature reading!!! YAY!!! It runs at about two notches above 130, is that normal? Now, for the "why the hell" The breather hose that runs from the valve cover to the intake is a part of the PCV system correct...

    Final Drive Ratio Question

    Since installing my new tires I've noticed my gear ratios have become very short. 1st only goes up to like 20 at redline, 2nd around 45, 3rd can maybe take 70, and so on. The car still has the Automatic Rear end gear in it, even though I'm running with a T-5. The tires are very low profile on...

    2.3 N/A tear down complete, Taking suggestions on what to put back in it

    I tore down my spare N/A today, and it looked fairly decent inside, except for the sickly burned cam shaft. What goodies can I put in here to make it A: turbo capable, and B: Fast as ****. Not looking for anything specific, so throw out anything that might come to mind. Even the smallest thing...

    Damned snake ( a serphant problem)

    While checking my coolant level at a friends house (yes, it was a little low) he noticed my serphantine belt was starting to roll off the tensioner. Upon fixing that problem, we noticed that my one belt, had asexually reproduced, and is now two. The tensioner pully is highly worn, and seems to...

    Question about removing a door

    That's pretty much it, how do I go about removing the driver door? I see a bolt on the top hinge that looks wrenchable, but the bottom one I can't see. Do I have to take off the damn fender?

    Coil Springs/rear brakes

    Seeing as how I have brand new shocks, yet my cars still feels floaty, I am thinking I also need new coil springs. Now, when it comes to things like that, I'm an a OE kind of guy. I am thinking that a new set of stock coils would pretty much feel like an upgrade at this point. Are their any...

    shortened my throw

    I bought a new shift knob to day in hopes of shortening my throw. I got a nice leather wrapped one. It fits in far better than the CF monster that came with the t-5 when I bought it. It also reduced the lenght of my shifter by about 3 inches. Feels much better. Am wondering If anyone has any...

    New Tires

    Installed some Fusion IR 195 50 15's today. Great tires. Car accelerates more quickly, handles better, and can even reach a higher top speed (in a respectable time) I'd reccomend these tires to anyone who likes lo pro's. My price, 200. Retail, 289. They have a directional and very agressive...
