    Insane firing Problem (Im baffled)

    Ok so i got kinda over zealous and frustrated and started pulling multiple plug wires off the distibutor. Turns out im only firing on 3 cylinders 1,2, and 3. 4,5,and 6 are getting fuel and spark but no combustion. next step is checking compression and gap on the plugs. I have bosch +4 platinums...

    Insane firing Problem (Im baffled)

    So my car has been running rough for a while and i decided to dig into it today. It sounds like bad timing mixed with a bad misfire. I replaced all the plugs recently to try to fix the problem but it had no effect. I checked the TDC and all the plug wires and found that with the plug wire to the...

    Omg my engine...

    Maybe it is overkill on the head bolts but you can purchase OEM bolts, both my father and grandfather (grandfather owned a repair shop in Manhattan for years, and father has been working on cars his whole life) advised me to never use the same head bolts twice because it weakens them...

    Think with your head not with your wallet. If you cant afford the Head gasket job, seeing as how you are still in school, STOP DRIVING THE CAR! Carpooling is cheaper anyway. Im going to break this down barney style for you because you dont seem to know what you are doing, when you get a head...

    Help with vacuum

    I believe I have a leak somewhere or my setup is wrong. Does anyone have pics of their vacuum setup? I especially need the vacuum setup back by the EGR and cruise control actuator lines. I have no idea what line goes to the aft portion of the intake manifold. Every time I try to find someone who...

    possible a bhg will leak out of block?

    if you are going to replace that hose anyway go ahead and replace the garbage stock clamps for something better. With the idea that you are replacing the clamps and that the clamps are pinch on rather than screw on you could wiggle the hose off verry carefully without taking off the clamp...

    2 Problems, no start, loud noise

    It still shows on the temp gauge that it is overheating with the back cat off, but there is what i believe to be another cat instead of a downpipe off the headers. i set everything TDC then used a timing light to set the timing from the rotation of the distributor.

    I reset everything to TDC and it is still not starting. Any suggestions on how I get it to just start so I can hit it with a timing gun?

    help with DIY on my 7MGE

    It may not be your valve cover gaskets btw. The black cover between the valve covers is held in by a threaded lock which has a tendancy to leak a bit. plumbers thread sealing tape cures this problem. Also a better solution is to take it in to napa and match a oil pan drain plug seal to it and...
