yeah i no .... one of the omp lines is probly disconneted thus y i have a vac leak and one of the housings has low compressin probly. thru 1/2 a qt of premix in the tank just in case. so any one think it could be something else? tomorrow at work ill order new soft gaskets so i can ripp of the uim and runn all new vac lines and change all fluids, trans and diff included, when puttin in my shorshifter saw fliud really dirty. im gonna order some new plugs and wires, thremosat and retime it should run much better after words. might order some new mounts too motor shakes like a bastard

 

noone???

 

A lot of gunk can accumulate in that area; gas, oil, coolant all pass through that area. The best thing is to do what you have planned, pull the UIM and clean it up, fix anything that needs fixing (fuel lines, PD, coolant line, oil metering lines, vacuum lines).



Also, not sure if you know, the shifter hole fluid does not connect/run to the rest of the tranny fluid. You have to drain/fill the tranny fluid from under the car (there's a bolt plug on the side of the tranny, and on the bottom, do a search, there are several methods for filling it). To get the nasty fluid out of the shifter hole, use a turkey baster (or something similar).

 

well the trans flush is easy i have the pump for it at work, still have to order new gaskets b4 pulling the uim

 

is this on the 91 james...

better grab those gaskets.. im pretty sure the previous owner used some sealer or maker on there...

wasnt going attempt a removal of that until it was needed...

 

yeah its the 91, i gotta lot of **** to do to it for it to start running right, but it has held up for the last 2 days of driving it to work and back. sounds like an sti still, but its straitining out. i think is probly from carbon build up from it sitting for 2 long, so i threw in a little less then a 1/2 quart or premix to half a tank to prevent blowing it up, if the smoke from uim is for an omp line and hopefully it will also help loosen up all the carbon in the engine. and what an ******* who uses silicon for intake gaskets?

ok found the oil smoke problem today after gettin the car running quite good lol oil feed line to turbo is leakin at the gasket so tomorrow at work ill order all new oil line gaskets. also already have omp lines and manifold gaskets on order will just chang those as a precaution even tho im also premixing. more to come

james

 

Oh, I didn't realize it was turbo.
