i think the manfold will run too cold, its not meant to have fuel in it-it would likely pool in the runners.
-
yes if the timing belt is wrong the engine will obviously crank wrong. i would suspect ignition, clean the plugs, check the wires, check all grounds.
-
my car has the original charge, what happens is the belt slips and the computer turns it off so it doesnt wear out the belt. so either tighten the belts or change them.

ok the front is good we went for -.5° camber in front, and were left with 1.7° caster, not much! but the rear gave us problems. right side AFTER .25° toe 0.4° camber left side after -.20° toe .0° camber this is not in spec! we used up all the adjustment to get this far, the baseline was really bad.

Thinkin its all connected
erik litchy replied to The Dude Abides's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...

so i have an alignment in about an hour i have cameber pates and RX springs. otherwise my loyale is stock what specs should i ask them to align to?
-
have it connected and it doesnt really help. this car is light enough that it doesnt slip backwards with a lot of momentum. it seems more of a marketing gimick to me. i think a really good candadite would be a pickup truck 1/2 ton or larger. get a decent trailer on there and you will be extra careful pulling out without one.
