Re: [DMCForum] Eric's tune-up

[Eric Itzel <eric@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

wow. Nology is koool! My car goes Varruum!
 
Everything went well. I started removing stuff saturday afternoon and
started the car at 8:00 yesterday evening. 
 
Here's what was done-
pulled & resealed intake manifold.
replaced internal water pipe with hose
replaced spark plugs & wires with Houston's Nology setup (includes
add-on amplifier)
replaced all vacuum lines w/ John Herveys Silicon line kit.
cleaned up all parts
 
My old internal water pipe was in very good shape. The "valley of death"

was dry and relatively clean, at least until I pulled the pipe off. I
can see how standing water could be a problem there...
 
I know I fixed several vacuum leaks. For those of you who know me and my
car you know that my little tamper proof screw is open and the whole
adjustment has been messed with. I think I might have undone what some
previous guy has done, because now my car wants to idle at around 1500
rpm after I put it back in park. Sounds like an idle speed motor issue,
but I have not read up on it yet. 
 
Not bad for 2 days work. I was a little concerned that it wasn't gonna
work after it was all put back together (there are a lot of little hoses
and fittings in this mess, many details to attend to!).
 
Have fun everybody!
