    It’s a good possibility that the throttle shaft has play in it, which is causing the throttle to hang open. It’s a 40 year old carburetor and no doubt worn. You can try hosing down the carburetor, especially around the throttle shaft, with carburetor cleaner. It might help it.

    Yes. When the idle mix screw is turned in, you richen the mixture. With vacuum leaks it leans out the mixture.

    What’s it doing or not doing?
  4. 88SubGL
    Is it burning it or leaking it?

    Replacing the bumper cover may hide most of the damage. You really need to know what you’re doing though, when you start cutting and welding on a unibody car.

    Time to break out the test light. Turn the key to the position, accessory or on, that you’re wanting power and find the fuse that is powered when it’s in that position. I don’t suggest hooking it to any of the engine related systems.

    Nice car. Vintage looks with EJ power, awesome!
  8. 88SubGL
    That sounds like an awesome build. It would be nice to see pictures of the rest of the car.

    I did read it and it was not clear. Maybe adding the words dash or instrument panel would have made it clearer.

    So your 4 ways flash but your turn signals, the lights come on but don’t flash? If that’s what’s happening, I would suggest taking the 4 way flasher unit and swapping it with the regular turn signal flasher and see if it works. It won’t cost you anything if doesn’t make a difference.

    Of course, that could be a non-interference engine and in that case, I have no idea.

    Did it run after the new timing belt? Was it running good before the timing belt was changed? If it was running before the timing belt change, I’m guessing that the belt was installed incorrectly and it bent a valve on each of those cylinders, thus no compression.

    Without pictures, it’s hard to know, but it sounds like most of the damage is to pieces that bolt on. If the radiator support is bent, you might be able to use a come-a-long and a tree to help straighten it out.

    Wow! I wish I had a garage that big.
  15. 88SubGL
    Why not offer to buy the pieces you want off of this engine? The worst he could say is no.
