check the pulsation damper. check the fuel system, maybe theres a leak and its not getting fuel

wouldn't there be gas under the car? also the turbo shouldn't effect the idle right?

would depend on the leak if there would be gas or not.. did you do the compression test yet?

also, how do i check the pulsation dampener? what should i look for?

 

go here and get the fuel and emissions section of the FSM: http://www.iluvmyrx7.com/1988_factor...ice_manual.htm



go through there and check the trouble shooting sections for your symptoms. it will also say how to check the PD.



i guess start at the fuel pump and go forward.
