    89' e303...hard intake backfire

    Please Help with codes and FP question.......

    Wow! If it wasn't my car, I'd be proud to say I've got you stumped..! The car still has a heck of a gas smell. Maybe the valve is plugged. Like I said in my last post, If a car still has the stock valve springs and they are weak or at least too weak for the E-cam, or maybe not adjusted...

    Please Help with codes and FP question.......

    Cool, I'll keep looking for any small leak, if I have one. How can I tell if the line form the canister to the tank is plugged. I replaced the hoses from the manifold to the valve, valve to the canister and canister to the hard line going into the firewall. Where is it routed from there, so...

    Vacuum at 1000 rpm is 16. hose is good to the Map sensor. If the Purge valve is bad, wouldn't it throw a code. Is that a major cause for the fumes from the car.......?

    Please Help with codes and FP question.......

    OH, And like many others have posted, this beast will choke you out of the garage quick with the gas smell from the exhaust even with all the doors open. I was really hoping to have the charcoal canister valve thing come up in the codes so I could remedy some of that problem. But since...

    Thank you Jrichker, It's your Massive amount of info that has gotten me this far so far. It looks like I didn't finish the balance test so will repeat that test and see if # 6 remains an issue.... Since the thermactor pump has been removed I figured I didn't have to worry about the 94...

    Help removing broken bolt please!!!

    OK, upper intake bolt, one of the long ones has snapped off and is sticking out of the lower about 3/8". Not enough to get two bolts on to try to back it out that way.
