I had no idea cars this old can still look so tempting to buy..

Nice car hope it goes to a good owner

If I remember right in my initial diagnosis of this problem when it first appeared, things like that were checked by the shop. I trying to see if someone might want this old engine of mine. So far no one has mentioned wanting it so I might jus tkeep it and rebuild it myself maybe make this a high re...

not sure but my guess would be yes on that... it turned out just being the cam gears were not the right ones and once the correc tone was pout on it fired right up

Update: Newer engine is in and purring like a kitten.... little FYI on engine swapping... find out the transmission that was mated to the donor... it will save you or the shop doing the work some trouble on diagnosing engine start issues, in my case maybe a airbox too :lol: ... but they got it figur...

the pressure clicking on.. the recharge.. that something I can do myself?... never added / recharged a unit before

Update: I have found an engine with a whopping 40k on it and it has had all the toys inside taken care of... I'll be dropping it in next week...well shop will I want it done right.... woot! Found it via Aarons Auto Wrecking in Seattle. Stats on the donor motor: 40k bottom end Heads re-machined / val...

Wherer are you? Kirkland, Wa Area I'd replace it. Just go to the junkyard and get a longblock. It takes about an hr and a half to pull the engine out if you've done it a few times. Probably end up costing about 150 or so for the engine. The junkyards here have sales so if you go on the right day, i...

Well teh verdict is in: Alarm and stereo are off the system and the emmissions are just marginally above normal likely due to the high oil consumption else it would be ok cept for the following. #1, #3, #4 - 220 #2 - 150 :( 70% leakdown not sure what I can do at this point really the car runs ok jus...

how much does that run? ... never recharged a unit before.

he car was originally running very poorly engine fighting to stay on... I went through plugs, pcv valve, cleanign the throttle IAC on teh throttle body and nothin was working.....CEL for fuel trim at times. (I noticed the black exhaust pipe with the fuel residue over time but since i didn't have any...

-Fixed-

Was not as hard as I would have thought ty

*bump* This issue has esculated to my car burning a considerable amount of oil I was at 2.25 qts per last 1000 miles, hoping it is not the rings/valves but the oil is all out the exhaust and not on the ground with a blue tint =( ... norm 1 qt ok... this is getting out of hand. Still running rich as ...

Hey guys ... I hope I can get some info from you guys. The GF legacy 91 MT is having the AC compressor clicking like mad when the defroster or anything else that turns on the compressor on the engine (the thing next to the alternator :-D ).
