Thanks for the tip on posting files.
our plan is to go over everything externally and use EEHACK to guide us with electronic issues. Then we’ll get into more mechanical issues. This car ran perfect for 6-7000 miles then over night began with the problem.initially I thought it was a transmission problem but it really does work perfectly..maybe not as I would like but as it was designed.
Dang, I accidentally closed this before posting and lost it. I had s stoke a bout a month ago that has left me with some double vision up close so typing is a challenge. As I have to select letters where I can’t see them.
Anyway.it snowed 6” of wet snow last night so I didn’t go out to the shop.
My so got a new MAP sensor as the gasket was mangled on the original one. We straightened it out some but it was cracked and I dint want an issue back on the car. It still works but it is a question mark.
The car idles smoothly as far as the rpm reading but you can hear themiss and feel it at the exhaust pipe.
He was going to get another pair of O2 sensors as he feels these are not right. On EEHACK if you look at them the trace is a very jagged line. Those of you that had penmanship in grade school will remember the lead in to cursive writing. LOL
We spent most of the afternoon just going over the motor, looking for issues externally. We found several connections not connected and harnesses not in the proper place. The plugin with multiple vacuum Lin’s has cracked lines so my son is going to try to get a replacement. Otherwise we’ll figure out alternate hookup. The fuel pressure vacuum line was not hooked up the EGR vacuum line was not hooked up and another line I forgot what it was also not hooked up..
At least the oil was changed as I had requested months ago.
They were going to work on it last night but I didn’t hear from them probably due to the weather. I won’t get out again until the weekend
He should have his test equipment back then too.
here are a few pictures.
the first the missed fitting is to the left and down just a little.
the second is the MAP sensor gasket safer straighting the best we could.
the third might be the fuel pressure regulator, not sure however.
these are just a few or the things we found. Over all I’m greatly disappointed on the work. I know I got a deal on it but ...the old saying you get what you pay for. As old as I am I’m still learning my lessons if life...sadly LOL
