hello all. too ****ing tired to read the pages i've missed out on. will catch up later.
update on the 2:
got her running around 10:30 this evening.
2 problems:
-she is idling like she has a vac leak
-sparks fly from the starter when i start her up (i have no idea how long this has been going on, they shoot out during cranking and then once the engine turns over they stop)
i tried chasing the vac leak down with TB cleaner and the idle seemed to stabilize when i sprayed where the pan seals against the block, but it was hard to tell. it could be i didn't seal it properly, the pan is warped, or maybe the leak has nothing to do w/ the pan maybe its the EGR valve or a vac line i missed or that cracked or something.
i had to stop for the night around 11 cuz i don't want to piss off my friends neighbors, and i had been going at it for about 12 hours at that point and was too tired to see straight.
so tomorrow i go back at it again, hopefully with a fresh mind and some green tea in hand i can have her running happily again by tomorrow night. i will keep you all updated, anyone have any thoughts or anything please post em (espec regarding the starter, scary stuff!), i will be checking the forum more tomorrow....
oh and if it comes down to me replacing the pan anyone got one lying around they want to let go?
