Hey guys and Gals,
Not very often do i need to get some help but here it is. I have been working on my 89 hatch getting it ready for my daughter to drive. Its been sitting for about 2 years with out running daily. I parked it when it started to smoke and had purchased my 95. I started it as often as possible. On my last trip back to Texas in June i swapped the head with one I had purchased just after it started smoking in 2007. It started and ran fine after the swap and seemed to idle smooth but had not finished connecting the exhaust system. It starts and runs now but had a series of most likely simple things go on with it while prepping it for inspection. Below a list of items checked and or replaced to correct a funky idle issue. Idles rough between 800 and 1000 rpm's sort of loops sounds like it wants to die but at speed it pulls strong enough to spin tires.
What: Ka24e
Addons: Custom cold air intake, Electric fan
Deletes: intake manifold water routing including throttle body and Emissions
Whats been changed
1. Fuel lines from pump, Filter to rail Due to fuel line being rotted away at tank and before the filter
2 Fuel filter (Weird thing Fuel in was clear fuel out was blackish)
3. plugs .35 gap Going to widden to .40 today
4. Cap and rotor and wires
5. Seafoamed intake and 4oz into tank with 6 gallons of fuel ( thinking clogged injector)
6. Pulled fule pump before replacing the lines to check tank condition...Clean tank no rust or gunk Sock looked clean.
7. Pulled AIC and checked and cleaned it.
Other weird things....Flip up lights didnt flip down in the morning...Not frozen shut...after noon they work fine.
Other then that the car drives great has great pick up and doesnt seem to miss under acceleration.....Let me know if you have any ideas. I am going to dig through my boxes I think i might have some injectors laying around we will see. Oh and the last weird thing............we lost(she) a 12mm wrench while putting on the back bolt for the exhaust manifold......Cant find it any where thinking its still there just cant find it...thinking on the exhaust or on the doghouse for the trani...But main issue is the idle that is driving me nuts
