hey Yall,
in case you're wandering wats happening with the old bucket of CRX history? haha
Its been garaged for the last couple years - driven maybe 2-3 times a year.
well - about 3-4 months ago a rusted ol pipe that goes into the intake manifold decided to simply Rust away and break! meaning i couldnt start the car cos of water pissing out everwhere...
so on the weekend i decided the time has come to replace the intake manifold - give her abit of a clean up and yeah - took me all weekend with painting and cleaning.
I worked till sunday 7pm putting it all together but didn't crank her over until tonight... and yeah - she's alive but barely...
All the plugs are getting fouled up, she spits and puffs, idles at about 200-400rpm...
I checked plugs, dissy, injectors... i believe the suspect part is my Cold Start Valve -- the Choke being stuck open... so tomorrow nite it will be slightly dismanlted again and hopefully will fire up well and without hesitation...
But its alive -thats the most important thing.... shes going into Perth CABIN (9th-10th July) next weekend and i thought id drive her around rather than push - so will have to wait and see now!
Mike
