1991 loyle spfi iac wiring
ivantruckman replied to ivantruckman's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Its likely the the wire on the engine harness is broken . Ill have to trace it . Thanks all . -
The two wire plug to my idle air control valve ......... the ground wire was showing open . I had 11.6 volts to the positive side . so I just grounded the ground wire to the engine . now it has weird idle issues . does the ground wire go thru the ecm . . it runs better un hooked . just wont idle when cold. and starts hard . arrgggg.

My 1991 loyale will discharge the battery if not run in 3 or 4 days , Alternator is good , Battery is new , and I load tested it , Did a specific gravity test, all cells good . I remember hearing about the ignition switch going bad and doing all sorts of weird things. Any help would be appreciated .

Tap the holes using a 7/18 x 18 tpi tap . no need to drill it out. then buy 7/16 exhaust studs .

Oil pump reseal / no pressure
ivantruckman replied to ivantruckman's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
My next step is to use a test gauge to verify the oil pressure . I was just paranoid and didn't want to do any damage im sure I am over thinking it. it did seem to shoot out a lot of oil from the sending unit hole -

its was just under half on the gauge when cold , the lifters don't pump up , I have only ran it for 30 seconds so far , but usally they stop clattering by then . -

Alternator not charging battery
ivantruckman replied to gap's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
when the dash light glow , is a bad regulator . You will get ac readings on your volt ohm meter .I have had " rebuilt alternators " bad out of the box . some rebuilders just clean and replace only the bad parts . and they don't properly test the regulator . -
Just did a reseal on a ea82 , now I have no oil pressure . there is oil volume . I took out the sending unit and ran it for a couple of seconds . oil everywhere . I have done several of these with no problem . is there a pressure relief check ball that may have fallen out ?

What head gasket to use?
ivantruckman replied to Starlite's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Fell pro Perma torq , no need for warming up and re torqueing . follow the three torque sequences , then add a final step using 50 ft lbs . felpro part number 9392pt -
There is an anti dieseling solenoid that could be causing idle problems .

Need parts for 1992 Loyale
ivantruckman replied to SnowLeopard's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Ebay has 2 used complete throttle body,s for sale . That would include the throttle pos. sensor and Idle air control , the Idle air control would not prevent the car from starting . It just wont idle . there are now 3 listed from 50 to 70 dollars . -
it uses a standard 6200 bearing double shielded , any auto parts store with a machine shop should have it and can press it in .it is retained by a snap ring on the back side . I have done it with a hammer and a punch before , but not ideal .

CYLINDER HEAD CRACKS
ivantruckman replied to ivantruckman's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
This attached pic highlighted spot appears to show the valve seat cracked as well. I will still disassemble it and check further . This 1991 loyale ea82 spfi engine was cruising at 55 mph and started shooting out steam coolant and oil . no water in the oil pan . immediately shut down. no overheat . I suspect the head is cracked to the coolant passage . -

wow 90 dollars for a bearing . rock auto has them (National) 10.87 + shipping , Timken 40.79 , Beck /Arnley 40.79 .

1986 gl 4 inch lift strut problems
ivantruckman replied to ivantruckman's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I think the combination of heavier tires , bad roads, bad springs , no rubber snubbers , and crazy teen drivers . caused them to prematurely fail . thanks everyone for the reply's.. -
1986 gl 4 inch lift strut problems
ivantruckman replied to ivantruckman's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
should I install the rubber bumper ? I would think with new heavier springs it would not bottom out.
