I'm looking for a repair shop in Northern CA to trouble shoot a rich running engine. I've replaced and rebuilt everything and now want to take it in. Does anyone know a shop?
I've tried: Frank's in Sac. Salerno's in Rocklin, KombiHous and no response, IPB in Sac and no response, Star Auto in Vacaville, plus a few others. There must be a least one guy out there that knows these cars? Thanks for any suggestions. |

OK, looks like some good leads. Redwood city is a bit far plus the bridge (trailering it at $24, I believe, each trip). Walnut Creek's a little closer but maybe Auburn, I'll try first. Then work out from there.
Jeff, you responded to some of my posts over the years, trying to get this thing running right. I would work on it for a month, then put it out back for 6 months, on and off, while I work on another car (succesfuly). I've replace everything except the brain. I did barrow a brain and harnes from a friend but then it wouldn't start at all. Rebuilt the MPS, bought a new MPS, new plugs, wire, cap, rotor, CHT sensor, cold start sensor?, injectors don't leak, CSV dosn't leak, all new vacuum line kit, rebuilt secondary air valve. I'm tired of this issue and will pay someone to fix it. I'll start calling tomorrow and Thanks for all the suggestions. |
