well i got the car running smooth as a whistle. i clamped up the big vacuum on good and tight, and sealed up the unplugged one; ran some throttle body cleaner thru it, and adjusted the idle control thingy on it.

if everyone had that mindset, the forums would die.

and i wasnt literally calling you my son, man, it is a slang saying........at least where im from

^^damn son

all that link gave me was a collision replacement parts manual and an electrical layout......?

There must be a junkyard nearby where you live, any intake tube off of a 90-94 protege or 323 will work and they'll usually only cost like $5-10. Just run some fuel injection cleaner through and see if it gets any better, chances are if it was sitting for very long, the injectors are gummed up and ...

also, the motor is knocking when it has the rought idle, which also led me to believe that there is an injector issue.

The extra opening in the intake piping could very well be causing the problem. There is supposed to be 2 hoses coming from off the intake , one for the valve cover and one to the idle air control (iac). The iac is just under the throttlebody and uses something like 3/8" hose I believe. The maf...

If you look under the hood, there's a diagnostic port, grab a small piece of wire and jump it to where it says ten and ground. Turn the ignition to on and the CEL light will start to flash your codes and just count the flashes, long flash is first digit, short is 2nd. Here's the codes: 02 Distribut...

Hey man. Welcome to the forum. Just in case you didn't know, there's an online factory shop manual link on the main-page. There's more info in there than you could ever care to know. i cant seem to find it, could anyone point me in the right direction? also, i've flush the coolant, what are the fac...

it might have been for the whole set. if i would have know they were $2 i woulda got it. oh well. if coolant starts pouring out at least i know exactly what's wrong :wink: well, im out to finish everything up i'll post when she's sputtering again :D Scratch what I said. Today, when I went to work, ...

ok cool. no i didnt know that. thx a lot!

it's actually 35.21mm :wink: :wink: lol my problem wasnt that the plug was corroded, it was just completely missing lol. the only plug that autozone had was rubber ones, so i said F that and went next door to Advance haha. the brass one was $21! so i got the steel one instead: $.69 :D i was balls d...

The big one on the block is 35 mm. If you can, buy brass plugs. Anyways, take a good look at the leaking plug. If it's corroded, that means the car has been run for a long time on straight water, no antifreeze. If that's the case, you need to do a radiator flush before refilling your cooling system...

If I remember correctly (no guaranties here), you should have a bolt right under each of the intake runners, a little to the right. There's a rib under each of the 3 right runners, and the bolts should be right besides that rib, to the right (passenger side). You need to disassemble first, and then...

ok, i've got most of it off. how many bolts are on the underside of the manifold? i've got the injectors/fuel rail off and these bolts are STUCK ON. lots of PB blaster and muscles. how do you get to the underside bolts? i cant seem to get the one on the drivers side under the throttle body....ugh I...
