Today I took and cleaned the FITV valve do to an idle surge issue; I'll find out tomorrow if it has fixed the problem on my way to work. While I was at it I added a missing screw to the map sensor and cleaned the IACV. Also preformed a compression test to hopefully find narrow down the source of the smoking. All cylinders read 190 - 195. I've been leaning more towards valve stem seals and I think this may help my case. No water in oil, and no oil in radiator as far as I can tell.
Once the weather here will calm down and stop raining everyday, I want to begin sanding the paint down and slowly priming it. I have a lead on some replacement body panels to get the kit off of it. The interior is not great, but I did clean the dash off. It turned an orange rag black with all the dirt. I still have not put a radio in it. The person before me hacked it up. I'm going to get a plug from my old work and get some of the wiring straighten out.Statistics: Posted by aenmia — Sun Jul 21, 2013 10:53 pm
