Check to see if the rotor is turning when cranking the engine. More than likely you now have a broken timing belt.

A friend had the same problem. In his case, problem was the plug wires.

After you install the new radiator, cut open the old one and you will see why the garden hose trick was a waste of time.

In the rear: hubs, backing plates and rotors. Backing plates/rotors need to be from an AWD model. In the front: best to take everything (knuckles. lower control arms, caliper and rotors) to include the control arm bolts.

I once installed struts and shocks from a FWD XT in my 85 wagon. Ride height was the same as the XT.

Nothing changed. just be sure to rotate the engine one full revolution after installing the first belt and make sure you use the correct marks on the flywheel.

If the injectors are leaking they will leak when the engine is running and when it is not because the system is under pressure. Will stop leaking when the pressure in the lines drops down to zero. Pulling the injectors isn't an easy undertaking. Easier way to tell if the injectors are leaking would be to plumb in a pressure gauge. Start the engine and then shut it off and let it sit overnight. If the pressure is way down or zero then you know for sure what the problem is. Someone on the board just recently offered for sale a set of reconditioned injectors. Fuel in the cylinders will wash the oil from the cylinder which really increases bore wear and doesn't do the bearings any good.

Sounds like one or more of the injectors are leaking. Problem is present when the engine is shut off.

Seeing the problem appeared 48 hours after doing some work on the transmission, I would drop the pan and verify the filter at least is still in place before writing off the transmission. $600 for a low mileage transmission is a good deal. Just be careful when you or whomever installs it. The TC often will not fully seat, likes to hang up about 1/4 inch short of being fully seated. When this happens and the transmission is bolted down, the internal oil pump gets destroyed.

Should be two relays on the passenger side strut tower. One for the fan and the other for the AC. Just swap them and see what happens.

It is the only thing in my LSD. Filled the diff with it 6 years ago and no problem.

Located somewhere in the headliner is a plug. Behind the plug is something you can turn that will manually close the sunroof.

An impact wrench and time has yet to fail me. Eventually you will get the bolt to spin and victory is yours.

I won't be surprised to learn this joint was used on a lot of Japanese models. Makes no sense for a car manufacturer to tool up a one-off part. Bet you can find it on a Nissan or Mazda or even on a newer model Subaru.

Easy repair and valve damage is not possible.

If the MC is full and the pedal goes to the floor, has to be the MC if there is no air in the system.

Every time I have experienced a collapse radiator hose it was caused by a clogged radiator. New radiator and problem solved. All that green stuff you discovered could suggest the tubes in the radiator are also now full of the same stuff.

Nothing special involved. Just be sure to disconnect the positive battery cable at the battery before anything else.

Not that easy. My understanding is it would have to be from an 85 through early 87 turbo model. In an emergency I think if you retarded the timing by a few degrees and ran high test mixed with some of that octane booster in a can stuff, you could make the trip without the sensor.

Don't know if in the same place but the "relay" for the PW in the XT/XT6 is located under the carpet under the passenger seat.

Thinking you should also use the XT MC.

Replace the muffler on my wagon a few months ago. Took 1/2 day to remove just 2 rusted bolts. If you can get the bolts loose, it is an easy job. Cheap mufflers IMO aren't worth the time installing. A OEM muffler will cost more up front but can easily last 10 years or more.

If you do buy this car, keep us posted on how it turned out. Some one did ask if the car was flooded with salt or fresh water. Knowing which makes a huge difference.

I would just drain it, add a gallon or two of diesel, slosh it around for a while and then refill with the proper gear lube. No way I would run ATF. Hard to believe anything could be wrong if it had been stored with gear lube.
