Well, I have reached the end of my patience with this engine and basicaly the car itself. I spent close to a year driving it around with the fuel cut, and as soon as I spend $1500 to get the wiring fixed more **** keeps happening. Such as me needed a new afm, my axcel breaking, some new sputtering that started the other day, the exhaust leak no one can seem to fix for longer then 3 days, and not to mention the car being overdue for a smog by a year. So I quit, I dont know if I am going to sell the car or keep it for awhile... Maybe I will do what K2 did and get an MR2 turbo.
As for the engine, its going to shid. I guess were doing a straight trade, which totally sucks after spending like 10k on this swap business. But atleast it will have a good home, if shid can tame the mean spirit My car leaves behind. |

The car was running right, I have no idea what the sputtering was/is... Maybe timing, maybe distributer.... But I cant even get it properly timed without a new AFM. And smog is a big issue... As of right this second Im keeping it, cause it would be a straight trade to shid, and I would be losing way to much on everything. As soon as I get an AFM I will take it over to a shop to get the sputtering checked, and im gona pull off the distributer and see if its ok... Everyone is telling me not to give up and I dont think I should.
Even then I will most likely get her running good and still sell it. |
