One more thing, you will probably need to loosen the strap clamp pinch screw. As I recall it is fairly long and protrudes to much and blocks hex wrench access to the forward bolt.

Thanks...ill keep that in mind...gotta wait til tomorrow after i get back from getting them cleaned

[Lwanmtr]

Got Injectors cleaned...3 were good..2 were decent and should recover after use for a while..one needed replaced....

Got them all in....now acting like there's no spark (or very weak)...so tomorrow I need to go back through all that...not looking forward to digging the distributor out of
the mass of lines at the front of the engine.

Its funny...seeming like I fix one thing..then another goes bad...lol

Anyone have the correct part #'s for things like Cap, Rotor, spark plugs, etc.... so that I can see if oreily's or autozone have them cheaper than DMC?

I cant even be certain all the connections are there and hooked up in the wiring...so it could be something super simple keeping her from firing.

Still lookin' fer a local who knows these things, who would wanna spend a day (i can offer twinkies or hoho's...lol).

Looks like some interesting cave art. Would be interesting with a few close-ups.

You mean the writing on the door?

[Lwanmtr]

Well...Im glad i decided to get her hauled up to DMCNW...

They were awesome enough to move some things around and get her into surgery right away...I never would have gotten her running myself....why? welll.....

PO had a few few lines in the wrong places..found some other vaccuum leaks (in places I didnt know about)..the evil line that goes into the mixture unit underneath
had been apparent sealed (or not) with putty and wasnt even doing its job..

How'd he find all this? Was discovery after discovery when he decided to reroute my wiring harness into the proper alignem...

the result...

She tried to go, wanted to...but it was really rough. Initial though is maybe timing is off ...sadly it too late to keep going on it...so she's staying the night there,
and hopefully they can get on it tomorrow (hopefully).

Also hoping they can unstuck and realign my passenger door..and maybe the rear drop glass guide (if i aint racked up a ton in labor costs by then...hehe).

So, im on hold until I can get it back from the docs...hehe.

Awesome! So stoked you got the car up there and things are starting to get worked out. They'll have it sorted out in no time.

[Lwanmtr]

Lol...yeah..lets hope its 'no time' wanna have some money left over...lol

[MNT250]

Haha I feel you, when we took the car in for the door adjustment, brackets ect.. dropped another $1400. Arrgh It's for the best though. I probably would have spent weeks trying to get the doors adjusted right. You might have never figured out some of those crazy issues going on with the engine. Time to join the PO haters club.
