How can you not love a four door? How much?

Let me know if you need any info... I myself have a 91 EX.

 

Looks like a fun project. What are your plans for it?

 

Just got a call from the machine shop and the head is shot! Time for a new plan.

Yeah, I was hoping to get the car running tonight or at least this weekend but it doesn't look like that is going to happen. I will just have to find a head.

I've seen 3 or 4 heads with less then 130k on them in the junkyard. heads for this car are easy to find.

Hell, I'll even be selling mine in a few months, and it has 145k on it.

i have the older brother to your car...


I have the carb'd version......I can't wait to see what you do.

 

Well, it's saturday night. I got the car back together, replaced: radiator, all coolant hoses, distributor cap and rotor, plugs and plug wires, head gasket, intake and exhaust manifold gaskets, valve cover gaskets, and cleaned up the engine bay a llittle.

Now I am getting codes 10 and 14 and the car will not idle on its own, I have to have my foot on the gas for it to stay running. Any sugestions? I really want to get this thing on teh road tonight!

 

A few updated pictures.

New radiator.

Block cleaned up.

No more pin striping!



A little JDM flava.


More to come soon, I need to get it running right as of right now I am throwing codes 10 and 14. The car will not idle on its own, other than that everything looks good.

Try swapping your IAT and EAVC plugs. People get them mixed up all the time because the plug is the same. Happened to me once when i did a MPFI swap a while back. The car would idle stupid and would want to die, but was cool at higher rpms.

Car runs great! Almost. There are bubbles coming from the coolant resivoir.

This is exactly what my manual said to do. I prefer to just use the bleed bolt with you fill it though.
