The girl is gone and all I have now is a beat-up teener Group: Members Posts: 301 Joined: 22-May 04 From: Gig Harbor and University Place, WA :: School in Angola, IN :: girlfriend in Sarasota, FL Member No.: 2,094 Region Association: None |
So I took the teener out again this morning (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) . I clamped the AAR valve to eliminate it as a problem, cause the car was running ok with the new fuel filter (yesterday). It barely idles and I'm thinking (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) , it just has to warm up and it'll run fine if the AAR is still not working, it idles like crap all over town (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) , but runs alright when I'm cruising around (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) . A little sluggish when I get to 4K (IMG:style_emoticons/default/yellowsleep[1].gif) , but cruises fine. Well I'm driving around thinking (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) I'm ok, and I turn to come back home (about 1.5 miles away) and it gets boggy on me again (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) , and the further I go, the worse it gets (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) . Surging, backfiring like crazy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) , no power (IMG:style_emoticons/default/yellowsleep[1].gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/yellowsleep[1].gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/yellowsleep[1].gif) , just barely jerking along at like 5 mph.
Could the fuel filter be plugged up again, cause there's a ton of (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) in my fuel tank? Someone suggested plug wires, I think I'll replace those when I get some $$$, and check the plugs to, cause who knows what condition they're in now. And of course there's always the vacuum leaks. I'm going to tear out the old air/smog pump crap and put bolts in where the injectors were. And do the propane leak test deal. Any other Ideas? |

Before these guys all talk you into re-coating your tank (which in fact is impossible since the tanks were never coated form the factory), listen to this. Even if you do end up boiling or hot tanking the fuel tank, you don't have to use one of those coating kits. I never will and I've restored 30 year old fuel tanks before.
But it's your car... |
