  1. I was wondering why my oil pressure is so low lately. When i bought the 87 gl wagon the pressure would start out at about 75 while it warms up and a little lower than 45 when warm. but now it warms up at 35 and idles at 10 i dont know if this is signs she is about to kick or if i need a new oil pump or what cause im about to go on a road trip and i dont want to get stuck somewhere

  2. alright heres the deal... someone told me, a prof. mechanic, that i need a new "donut gasket" the thing that connects the the exhaust from the engine to the muffler right under the drivers seat. i have no clue how to do this and im not letting anyone else do it so.... anyone done this before?

  3. until recently my car would not idle right i had to keep my foot on the gas at stop signs and what not.....this was very tough seen as how i dont have a starter *cough* and i would have to push start it in an intersection if i did.....but i fidled with the vacuum tubes around the carburator and i guess i got the one with the leak so definately try to make sure there is no vacuum leak. Oh and if your car has no trouble making it up hills then it is not the fuel filter.

  4. thanx for the info....its a 1987 gl hatchback.... ive had two starters just stop working i threw the original away(probably prematurely) and replaced it with a rebuilt denso, which went out a week later, from a 91 loyale .....the car will not stay idle at all, the engine will only stay running if it is in gear or my foot is on the gas, so i kinda shift to neutral and brake with my left foot at stopsigns and since i have no starter lol imagine letting it die....
