It smokes non stop from the exhaust. The oil still looks ok and so does the coolant. It almost seems like it's leaking from the cooling side to the cylinder

I have a 1989 22re 5 speed that had an injector stick so bad I couldn't even turn the engine over. With the plugs out it would shoot fuel 10 feet in the air. I have replaced the injectors, plugs, cap, rotor, starter (had issues) and changed the oil. The problem now is it is pouring white...

after you let it sit, did you have to boost it or did it start on it's own?

If wiggling the wire at the battery or at the fuse terminal then you have a loose wire or connection. I know you stated that the connections at the battery are good but is there a chance that they are corrodded? You may need to clean the terminals and make sure that the connection between the...

The iol pressure dropping could be something simple like low on oil or it may severely need an oil change. The leak is likely coming from above the exhaust manifold if you can smell it. That should make it easier to find. The other thing to do is when you get it home after a longer drive...

It's a good idea to relocate while you are doing this. It have always maintained that the people that design cars never have to work on them. They put things in places that make it hard to work on. I am sure it will be nothing for you to take care of this fix.

It seems to me like they are trying to take advantage of you. Follow the lines back to where the crack and crimped line is. Cut it off at the first available spot. buy a length of rubber gas line and clamp it over the existing fuel line. and run it and support it all the way back to the...

Since I like to comment so much on your threads I will post this: $400 for: Motor (needs rebuild) Transmission Transfer case ECU wiring harness Let's say you have to put another $800 into rebuilding the engine (if you do it yourself) that puts you at a total of $1200 for a new motor, good...

looks good. they aren't meant to be pretty they are meant to be driven

On the back of the dimmer control behind the dash there will be two wires. One is power going in and the other is power going out. Easiest way is with a test light. Make sure the lights are on and you have power going into the dimmer. Then check on the output side and move the dimmer up and...

You may have fried the bulbs for the dash cluster. If the tail lights work, it will be the bulbs or the dimmer switch.

It certainly ain't much to look at yet but it always starts somewhere.

Well I wish you the best of luck. It could be related I guess. I still think it's a sensor that is causing the issue.

The idle thing has to be sensor related. Not sure which one but I would think that something is triggering the cold idle circut when it shouldn't be. Teh squeal is probably the idler pulley or waterpump. I feel bad for you with all of these problems. The really crappy part is if you do give...

ok I am going to try to help but I am scratching my head a little too. 1. The oil smell is what is throwing me off here. I am wondering if there is a PCV that is clogging with oil and thowing the cold idle circut into action. Is the oil level higher then it should be?? I am hoping that is...
