Got it running tonite, sorta?

First time shes run since october. The battery is stone cold, so she will only run or needs to be jumped.

Was misfiring, spilt some oil on the valve cover, i think its cutting number one. another cyl has to be missing too, shes limping in idle and sounds like a wrx :P

Annoyed though.... stupid thing still seems to be smoking a lil bit. pretty sure its my turbo since i jsut replaced the HG.also, a kind of whine noise is coming from my timing belt... i think i over tightened it

but other then that, it was nice to sit in my sexy pulsar again. gotta get a new battery and then figure out why shes misfireing. but i gotta git her running asap, its the only car i have since my van died.

Glad to hear another ca running. Mine sounded like a WRX for a few days turned out to be a bad coilpack. Maybe same deal with yours?

I vote coil packs.

mine whinned when i first got my ca running. It was because the timing belt was on too tight. good thing i fixed it before anything happened.

I dunt wanna take the stupid timing covers back off... its such a hassle, gotta move the motor mount. Gotta take off all the belts... GOD it sucks. The adjuster is UNDER the lower cover, right?? I forget, I know I jsut had it open this week, but I've had a lot on my mind.

Oh and today I got a new battery, a coil might be bad, but my ground wire is soooo corroded too. I tapped it and it showered powder around. So i need a new ground strap, I bet that is a contributing factor.
