SuperRallyRoo Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 Austin, Patti, and I managed to figure out what was wrong with my turbo wagon. The disty was 180* off from factory specs, so the plug wires where in the right spot but disty was 180* off ... So we drove it from my house to Austin's where it is now. I was having some od sputtering issues and loss of power issues. At one point i was gunning it and it just lost power going up a hill, didn't die! But it didn't go untill I reved it up and dumped the clutch and spun out. After putting it up on jacks and Austin tinkering with the Disty a little we got it to run pretty good. But now its idling at about 1300rpms and its at the lowest setting it can go. Tomorrow where going to put on the speedometer cable and try to connect the 4wd linkage. (PAIN!) Anyway... Anyone know if a O2 sensor would make the car idle way too high? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rallyruss Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 o2 will not make it idle high. over advanced timing will. or a few other things but since you say you are having disty troubles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperRallyRoo Posted January 19, 2004 Author Share Posted January 19, 2004 Well the ea82 flywheel on my ea81T car makes it so the timing marks won't line up I guess? What Austin said... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLCraig Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 If I remember right, the EA81T has timing marks near the crank pully and a small notch on the crank pully to align to those marks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbone Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 Ditto on that. You most likely have the disty off a tooth or two. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
