What did you do prior to storing it & how long has it been?

Sounds like a good start, get to work Hector You'll regret selling it
Good Luck

Could you use the passenger side actuator on the drivers side? The mounting holes and hole for actator rod is there. I know there cheap but this looks like less work :D and looks stock. I'm going to the wrecker on tuesday to pick up a few parts and this is going on my list. So anyone done it :?: I'm...

Have you tried boosting it or a push start? I'd start were you did @ the battery and check your voltage, then your battery connections. Corrosion on your terminals is bad and so is a dirty battery.

Thanks JWMX3 I recieved some of my parts today but to my disbelief when I asked for a complete timing kit they sent everything except the tensioner :evil: I call and asked why its not there, it's extra and not part of the kit another $210. :roll: I talked to another mechanic and he said they never i...

Are the 1.8 and 2.5 Ford and Mazda idler pulley parts for the serp belts the same?

Very interesting

If your attempting to repair somthing yourself you alway run the risk of fing up. s--- happens, if I dont trust the shop I don't go there. Common sense says don't pay cash, get a receipt, make sure they know its value and are prepaired to replace it.

Well atleast you found your problem, chunks of metal arent good

Not driving your car should be a crime :) Have you had it on a hoist/jack stands and replicated the problem? maybe use a mechanics stethoscope or your hands where its Safe When the tranny was out how did it look/feel? Have you checked the mtx oil for shinny bits? I think your right on the tranny. So...

Not trying to be a d--- but if your mechanic cant hook it up go to another mechanic. It might cost more but atleast its hooked up right.

I'd like to see some pics of your car. As for the turbo why mount it back there? There's plenty of room under the hood.

What have you checked?
Can you drive it still or does it almost instantly start to overflow?
Have you checked the thermostat?

People need more info

Theres nothing wrong with using a drill, thats why the make different bits. Your going to need a very small sharp bit , bolt extractor and a steady hand. I would consider pulling the whole unit out if possible. Buy a tap to clean the threads after you have the bolt out. If it got jammed then broke a...

Post a pic. If we cant see the damage how do we select what to do first? I would do the windshield and repair the leak @ the same time. Be prepaired to buy another one too considering its chipped and it a miracle it came off the other vehicle. I'm in the same boat trying to get my car on the road, s...

I'm goint out on a limb here but do yah think it could be the fact you have no cat? unburnt fuel sitting in your exhaust?
