Robertheil Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 K I bought a 92 loyale to swap my engine into I noticed the check engine light don't come on when you first turn the key I connected the plugs together and got some codes recorded on my phone anyone have any diagrams so I can see what's going on with the engine light hopefully it's just a burnt light but I'm not so sure the previous owner tried installing an after market cruise control and it seems like the person gave up as there's no way to turn it on probably going to remove that as I don't really need it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robertheil Posted November 1, 2016 Author Share Posted November 1, 2016 The 92 has bad head gaskets and just plain leaks all over the place it also knocks and it's not the hlas they make noise but the knocking is coming from the center and sounds like tin cans under load my 91 engine runs great has some leaks but not like the 92 just need to know if the intake will need to stay with the car or if they're the same as far as wires and plugs as I would rather not go and get an intake gasket as I don't have the money to do that till next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robm Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 They should be the same from 1991 to 1992. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robertheil Posted November 1, 2016 Author Share Posted November 1, 2016 I'm hoping so just looking to make this as simple as possible without having to buy more this car is a lot nicer then my 91 a whole lot less rust came with chains and still has the skid plate the hood came up on me when driving it on the 95 mile journey other then that there wasn't any dents till that happened lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robertheil Posted November 1, 2016 Author Share Posted November 1, 2016 I ended up using a half of a tank during the trip found out one of the plugs was pretty loose so I'm guessing it was venting gas into the engine bay engine felt pretty weak I'm not surprised didn't know it was running like that as the check engine light does not come on at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robertheil Posted November 16, 2016 Author Share Posted November 16, 2016 I got it running now idk how we managed it but the bushing closest to the trans is now shot the shift linkage hangs a bit and seems like the bushing is completely gone with the amount of play it has it clips the driveshaft in 3rd lucky I have a parts car to work with Ive tried everywhere even the dealership and I can't seem to find any linkage with bushings at least the other one I have is still pretty stiff if anyone knows where to get shift linkage let me know it's a 92 4wd loyale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
