I should have said it doesn't come close to firing. It cranks pretty strong. By the time I tested the distributor, the motor was fully cooled and spark was strong. I guess that leaves vacuum leaks. As for the oil, there used to be a rather large puff of smoke at startup, but that seems to have gone ...

Car has been burning through lots of oil. Last summer it stopped running but it turned out to be a fouled up spark plug (caked in oil). Since then, replaced front bank of valve stem seals including the cylinder with the bad spark plug. Still burns lots of oil (1 quart/200mi), but less smoke on start...

After replacing some valve stem seals on the front bank of cylinders and putting everything back together, my car won't start. It putters for a few seconds and then dies on first attempt. It does this consistently if you leave it sit for a week and try again but doesn't begin to turn over on sequent...

Hmmm, well coasting at 50 it's smooth as normal, just under acceleration it gets bad.
I've been researching online and it sounds like it could be the inner cv joint, but i suppose i may have to just take it to a shop.

I did something bad the other day. I came up to about an 80 degree turn doing 45mph and spun out into the embankment on the front right side. My excuse is that I wasn't intentionally being reckless, therefore my reflexes were at their worst. Anyway, external damage isn't that bad, but my car will no...

I'm installing an OBX underdrive pulley and removing and bypassing the a/c.
What can i expect to gain from this?

I still need to get my car in the garage to tear it open...but i now know to listen to mr. idiot light. I figured i changed the oil 1k before and topped it off 2 weeks ago...the light must be wrong...and considering i added a quart and the light didn't go away..Oh it must be slow in turning off, i'l...

well if a generator has a shut off switch for when the oil pressure is low, i figured a car just might have one...

i was kinda hoping there would be some magic sensor that would shut the car off or something when the oil was low...

i don't know how it happened, but the oil plug came out of my car, draining all the oil while i was driving. I drove about 5 minutes total with the oil light on before it started stalling out and dying. It stalled 3 or four times before it stopped completely. After i discovered the plug was gone i g...

yeah it was late when i made that up...i was gonna name the topic 'save me jebus' but that woulda been kinda gay, more gay then my screen name. (not that there's anything wrong with that) anyway problem fixed...cept my battery died since i left my door slightly open...

yeah it fits in but my padre insists the firing order will be screwed up

Got it...thanks

ok so I just finished my swap but it won't start.
I'm not getting a spark so i decided to switch to the k8 disty, but it looks differrent than the ze one...the d cap reads 453216 clockwise on k8,456321 on the ze. When I search I keep seeing that i can use the k8 one, i just don't know how...help??

I can't find the knock sensor on my ze motor, yet i can find it on the k8...
any input?
