When was the last time it had a tune-up? Was the old pump dead or just
loud? They can be working fine and still be pretty loud.
-
For the past 3-4 years I've been keeping consistent track of my
mileage. I use the same pump at the same station about 98% of the time
to rule out differences there. It only changes when it needs a tune-up
or something takes a dump (i.e. oxy sen).
Highway: 30-32 mpg
City: 19-21 mpg

You might want to give the CTS (coolant temp. sensor) a look-see.
I had one with a bad connection where the wires go into the sensor
and it would intermittently surge.
-
If you would have read my reply you probably could have figured it out.
-
Be advised if your going to buy a new one that they call
it by a different name for an 87. They call it an "air charge
temperature sensor", I suppose because it controls how
much air is let in by the IAC. Check it out here -
And the standard sensor used on the Turbo models is always
available. Like these -

I used the one for the Turbo since it was cheaper and I wasn't
aware that it had a different name at the time. It's worked fine so far.
-
Don't try to pull those wires out of the sensor. They're not removable.
-
If you loosen it up all the way and it still catches, check to make sure
the hill holder mechanism isn't sticking and the spring is attached of course.
Usually the proper adjustment is where you can just see a little light between
the springs coils. Maybe the cable is sticking. Make sure it dosen't have any
kinks or harsh bends in it.
-
So that's where it went. My old link to it didn't work last time I tried it.
Good find. I got lucky and scored a complete set of manuals for my 87
for $10 on ebay last month.
-
If it's a Cali car then I'm pretty sure it's the second cat. At least it
is in my 87.
-
There listed on these two sites, don't know if they have them
in stock or not.

Here's a Technical Bulletin about your problem. They sell a better boot
if you want to do it yourself.

Try some alcohol.

There's a code in my earlier post too. I don't know when it
expires, but it's working now. 497871456432

My mounts appear fine too. My 4wd hi/lo selector has a shatload of movement in it when accelerating/decelerating. It's tight when you throw it in 4wd and it's being braced by the rear though. I've been putting it off for a while, but I just can't stand the slop anymore personally.
-
I emailed there service dept. and they said Anchor has them on backorder
for 2-3 more weeks. After that, you can special order them through
Rockauto with no fee attached. Sounds good, I guess I'll try get in touch
with them in a few weeks.
-
Well, it surely can't hurt to inquire about them again. Maybe they are on
backorder or something. It seemed like the price had dropped since the last
time I looked, so maybe they got a new shipment. You can usually find a
5% discount code through a web search to take some of the sting away
from the shipping charges. This one is still working - 497871456432

Good ol' Rockauto has motor and tranny mounts cheap. Cheapest I've
ever seen. They're listed with the motor mounts on this page -

There are pictures of what you want to do in this thread -

That blue tee isn't a standard tee. It has some ridges in it. I'm assuming
they act like dam for the small amount of oil that will still come up that
hose. Even with the fix you can still be pulling oil in there, just not enough
to cause any smoke screens. Or at least that is my experience. Some really
good pics in that thread. It should be added to the USRM.

JCWhitney.com has the more traditional stuff if your looking to
warm your feet a bit.
Or this place

You can get them at most parts stores. These are the cheapest
I've seen so far -
There was a thread a while back about repairing some mounts with
urethane. The kind used to set windshields. Do some searching.
-
The problem could be your hill holder. If it's too tight, you won't be able
to move much. Look at your clutch fork and follow the cable that goes
down towards the drivers side brakes. It should connect to a hill holder
assembly with a little spring on it. If that spring is stretched out more than
the the width of a dime between coils, it should be loosened. If that looks
to be the problem, do a SEARCH for "hill holder". There has been quite a few
threads about it's adjustment.

The estimate is probably so high because a new injector can run upwards
of $550. You can get a refurbished injector for around $70 or even $35 if
you send in a rebuildable core in return. Check these places out -

And the solenoid can be taken care of in a number of ways. You can stick
a resistor in it to fake out the computer, get one from the JY, or get one
from here -
And a purge solenoid is the same as an EGR solenoid, just with a different
connector on it. Just splice the connector on if that happens to be all you
can locate at the JY.

Partsamerica.com lists some solid mounts. Might want to check it out.
Not sure if there listings are correct, but they have pics.

It covers the little area where the EGR solenoid and the Purge solenoid
reside. The little spot next to the IAC.

You might want to try EBay as well. There's a guy on there that sells
pumps for EA82's pretty cheap.
