Re: ze wont start help!!1

do you have an external coil and ignition system? <p>If not you will need to use the distributor from the 1.8 or from a north american 2.5. The reason being is that they have an ignitor and coil built into the distibutor.<p>So if your trying to start it with the ze distributor without the external c...

Re: ze wont start help!!1

the firing order is the same, its just the wires go to different spots on the cap. <p>So just make sure you have the correct cylinder wire going to the correct number on the cap (eg. cap #1 going to cylinder #1 ect...) just match the numbers.<p>The ze distributor will require an external coil so jus...

Re: eating distributors and spark plug wires

if the idle jumps from 4-500 to about 1600 rpms then back down again, they may need to adjust the throttle position sensor. Mine started to jump around at about 240,000 km, after adjustment it was fine. <p>But if the car just dies while your driving it and you have to wait about a minute before it w...

Re: I am ready to cut it off!!

well I had the same prob when I did my swap, and my manual never showed a bolt under the rubber either. So I just left it on the tranny. I had the car jacked up high and just lifted the engine out with the tranny and the shifter linkage all at once! This worked out fine for me, no probs.

Re: selling rims

just the rims or rubber as well?

I dont think I ever see you driving around town. Maybe someone should start a brantford area meet. Since there are a bunch of people on this board from around that area.<p>I have 17" tsw evos, maybe a swap?
