Re: Where do you work?

Currently a Paramedic. Firefighter certified. However Ive worked for nascar changing tires, drove dumptrucks, and all other heavy equipment (that was a lot of fun). But I decided I needed to do something that I can do when I get old...... :). Only paid $400 for my car and maybe have 2 more into it.....

Re: B6 Sohc, Jumpy idle

My 93 did the same thing. The problem with mine was the vaccum lines were all junked up. I gave it the seafoam treatment and it purred like a kitten. It runs smooth at first and with the A/c on because it makes the car idle fast when its cold or is carry more load.

Re: Car sounds like a misfire..... Getting worse by the day

One more thing to add... The timing was 180 out when I first put it together... and I backfired when I cranked it up... Then I readjusted and it was right... Any chance these cars will allow the exhaust valve and piston collide when its out like that .. ??
