look under the passenger side just in front of the tire "fuel filter" and fuel pump, careful. it is pressureized. not like 1000 psi but it cas spray you.. yes i know by expirence..gass hurts in the eyes

How do you get away without having a plated car in an apartment complex ? I would paint the whole car a flat olive drab, and put some camo patterns over the little dents it hides them well... (you did ask the general public)

i have an 85 parts car. (ea82 carb) as do many on this bord. if its bad it shouldnt be a problem getting one , i have never had one go bad. it may be a little mor involved than just a relay ?

check all the grounding wires, check the coil ground. take off the coil bracket and clean the ground, there should ba a small (14 guage maby) ground wire near the coil , these can affect spark an old cap can be the problem too, it may also be cracked, or moisture build up in the cap good call to go ahead and replace and go from there I check spark by myself with a spark checker , you can get it from napa ,there cheap , it plugs in line with a plug wire , and uses a ground clamp. i put it up by the windshield wiper and than you can see it from inside the car while you crank it

bang on the fuel pump wit a rubber mallett. ok just tap on it, if its been setting a while, any other info would help. like do you have spark, fuel etc.. has it been sitting a while, was it running and just stopped...stuff like that....this site rocks, lots of good info here. welcome

lifter ticking is normal for an engine that has ben sitting for a while. they usally quiet down in a few minits of driving. a fresh oil change helps too, ea82 engines are cheap , and easy to find used

unless its a pan leak or case leak, its weird that its on the passenger side

if a body shop does the work. be fussy, alot of shops will cut corners . especially with older cars, tell them up front you expect the work to be done well, and that if its not done right you wont sign for it till it is right, also ask if they guarantee there work, like if the paint peels in a year , or color fade etc. if not , go to another shop, on the bright side atleast they dont have to fit another pannel or alighn a door pillar, it should be an easy fix for a professional body shop

Do you want more power or just cheap reliable transportation. the clutch could be causing it to be hard to get into 3rd and 4th, could be a clutch cable ajustment.

yes sell it ...to me.... lol... actually i would never sell it if i were you

the alighnment isnt that expensive , its the extra parts they try to sell you ,and the labor to have it done, the only way it would get out of alighnment is if somone changed a front end part out, and didnt take the time to get it close ..or a major bump to the suspention that bent somthing. or high wear, ferfox is right on. ..fix all the problems first .than get it alighned. or have them do the troubleshooting,( somtimes for free) and fix all the stuff yourself, and take it back for them to do the alighnment.

does anyone have any pics of the heater (interior) FAN RELAY, I was told that it was behind the ECU, under the steering column, is it the orange plastic looking thing , haynes is a pos... thanks....

if your alighnment is that bad, you can get it close, or closer by eye, what year and type...ie.. 4x4/ power steering /etc. i can measure the length of the tierods for you, you should be close enough , ..... is anything bent under there, or maby a bad balljoint , or upper strut bearing ? also caster and camber can be done with a level. not precisely but at least close

how long has it been setting get some wd40 on the throttle plates

FYI, mines also Manual Steering and the column moves up and down within with little pressure applied to the wheel. you first u joint on the steering column is probably binding, look under the dash and check , if you can move the column up and down it may be binding

and smaller tires 155-80-13

it should work, the bead should seal, the only reason they dont is because of loose scale rust and dirt, you could always use a bead sealer, just soap them and see

the clutch cable could have stretched as well

the spfi loyale was noteably faster

[ATTACH]6248[/ATTACH] woah , has anyone ever heard of this wheel. looks expensive. yikes

i just got a 93 loyale 2wd sedan running, it has alot more acceleration than my 4x4 wagon, the 2wd has some testalia to it , a fair amount more than my 86 ea82 4x4 wagon, could it be spfi v carb ? , or is the 2wd model geared for better acceleration ?

the disk with holes, he is talking about, is the crank angle sensor i beleive

loyals have a small u joint inside , under the dash. i have had 3 of them fail on me, different cars of course. the center pin shaft gets caught on the side and it binds. ill get a pic today . and try to post it

nothing worse than flat bags, i was under the impression that the air system was no good , and to replace them with standard prings
