Failed smog test dammit. No check engine lights and no codes, just high Hydro Carbon emissions. HC is usually a result of rich air fuel ratio. Swapped in a used coil, spark plug wires and injectors purchased from a member of this forum. While installing new Autolite 3923 copper plugs (gapped .032") found a leak in one of the valve cover gaskets so I Swapped new gaskets. Water pump was leaking so R/R a replacement, not that this has anything to do with emissions but we all know the cooling system is fragile. PASSED SMOG. I hate randomly throwing parts at a car, but it worked this time. 396,000 miles and 32+ MPG Original clutch! Not kidding. The throwout bearing is starting to squeak. I baby the heck out of this transmission as I'm not ready to install a clutch nor be stranded. Soon however, it's inevitable. |
