    a few weeks ago my car blew a heater hose so i've been affixiated on the temp guage lately. i don't remember it running as hot in the upper 190's on a regular basis. this is happening when i'm crusing around town and idling. i could swear it used to run cooler. timing is set to 12 or 14...can't...

    I Got Smoked

    i should hope you don't lose to neons with 400+ hp! the neons are fast...i think they run high 13's stock. don't sweat it man there's always that ace in the hole called a supercharger :D keep in mind that any turbo car with a few hundred dollars of mods can really fly.

    how do i adjust the idle?

    the idle screw is just a bunch of threads...it's tough to rotate...if i use pliers i would think i would strip the screw...now what? hehe man i'm so technically challenged when it comes to working on cars.

    any tricks on getting off the other oilpan bolt?

    well there are two oilpan bolts. one is in the middle rear (towards the back of the car) and the other is in the middle front (next to the steering bar) and it's very difficult to remove. hopefully that will clear the confusion. thanks!

    won't stay running when i first start it up

    i'll have to take a look at the fuel pressure at idle...i have a mechanical gauge on the hood. the throttle position sensor...where and how do i adjust it? what degree of timing should i set it to? i understand the timing varies but i'd like to have some idea. Thanks both for your help!
