not sure. it over heats in the morning (after I get it started) 2 days in a row I had to push start it now. couldn't push start it on foot. had to get someone to push me with their car to get it started. any advice on a EXTREMELY cheap fix to that? she's really got me pissed off right now. was 2 hrs late to work thanks to the problems. don't want to get rid of it, she runs great once running, when I get it started in the morning she'll run all day.



Thanks



John.
search for the ATF fix,



It goes something like this:

1) buy a new set of plugs - you will need them for after the treatment



2) buy a quart of ATF or Marvels Mystery oil - Marvels smells better



3) steal a tablespoon from the kitchen - for the application of the treatment



4) remove the trailing (top) plugs - access to rotors/seals



5) align 20*ATDC mark with pointer - for a place to start



6) spoon feed the rotors 2 tbsp oil - through plug holes



7) rotate crankshaft by hand 360* - to bring another set of seals around



8) repeat step 6 - 2nd seal set



9) repeat step 7 - ...



10) repeat step 6 - 3rd set



11) repeat step 7 - last time



12) re-install old plugs - keep dirt out



13) let sit overnight - yes, overnight



14) wake up very early - give yourself enough time for starting and running and

changing the plugs



15) pray - it might help and never hurts



16) make sure not to wake the neighbors - when they see the amount of smoke

coming fron your car they might call the fire department!!



17) fire in the hole!! - time for another prayer



18) run for @ 10-15min - get some freash air



19) change the plugs - last step



Guys, feel free to add or comment to make sure I have the instructions right
