Had the EXACT same problem, i even replaced my intake gaskets 2 times. I concluded it was cracked heads, and sold it before it got worse, because i stopped likeing the car anywho. What was funny, it stopped smoking right before i sold it, ha.......just my luck

removing the EGR will do NOTHING but make your car possibly ping. They only open under certain conditions and lower cumbustion chamber temps, they allow some exhaust gasses to enter the intake manifold. So removing it does worse for your engine, and the enviroment. The catalitic converters, if old and plugged up do make a large restricion, but new ones have hardly any noticable loss in performance or resriction, and they keep your exhaust from Stinking and remove exsess hydrocarbons in the exhaust = bad for enviroment, so unles its clogged up, i woulndnt bother, plus youll never pass an inspection or emissions without it.

I thought RX's had that adjustment too, iv herd about it, but it messes up ur camber and toe in and out and what not.

MY grandmas got a 94 Automatic 4.3 Vortec 2 door blazer. I LIKE it alot, its nice to drive, but....it does rattle from the back, (my subaru rattled too) and she hasnt had any transmission problems, changing the fluid and filter go a long way as maintence. And the engine...she lost one of the rod bearings for no reason, full of oil, never abused. LUCKILY it was under warrenty from the dealer she got it from. She had a 1987 GL-10 before the blazer, she hated that little subaru tho, lol, constantly fixing it. But the blazer just recently had the radiator or somthing blow out, she didnt say specificly. But That blazer gets TERRIBLE gas mileage, like barley more than a truck with a V8 would get.

Low miles arnt always THAT great, that can mean everything that usually goes wrong, hasnt yet, so you get to replace all of it soon.

well one thing thats different is you have to split the block in half to take it all apart, and then put it back and reseal it.

I had my RX up to 95 and it was still pulling pretty well,i would say it would go to 110-115.

hahaha yesterday, i tightend the bolts again for the Intake gaskets....it stopped burning coolant....and i just sold it for 850$

my door says 185's for 4WD... mabye cause its an RX?

doesnt that stuff attack the plastic and rubber parts in the FI system??

Hey now, i LIKE sedans, thats the main reason i bought this one, was it wasnt a wagon (bleh) or a 3 door (i like some space for friends to get in) Im not sure how i feel about the Turbo really, its sad my little 88 Mazda 323 1.6 N/A Sedan was about as fast as this Turbo 1.8, lol. I might have gotten a bad egg, who knows, its been a pain in my rump roast since i got it, but i got it for a 100$, lol, and have put 5-600 into it. if no one buys it i may get new seats, new heads, and a heater core and drive it.

1600 is WAY too much, im having a hard enough time having people just call me on mine for 1100$ lol and they havent even seen it, its in party line/paper. Well did u let it hit operating temprature? did it rise higher than the middle? how do u know it had stop leak? u sure its not oil from possible head gaskets? The main thing i would be worried about is head gaskets! If ur sure no headgaskets, a new 100$ radiator and it would be great, what kinda conditions the body in? OH and the gurgling, my RX did that for awhile, just drive it around abit and it will work the air out of the heater core, alls that is, is trapped air bubbles.

throttle positioning sensor, has a dead spot or is mis adjusted

check the passenger side timing belt, those can break and the car will still run on 2 clylinders!

radiator, they all get clogged up and the car will run hotter and hotter and hotter till it overheats

umm it means replace the transmission vacuum modulator, its pretty important to the transmission and its shifting. THere less than 20$ and you will damage the transmission not having it hooked up, it will bang into gear and cause alot of wear along with erratic shifts and no shifting. and the boost sounds normal up to when u say it suddenly spikes, that sounds like ur wastegate isnt working correctly, i have a spare

why...it was a perfectly good car

Just put headgaskets on the thing and drive it, im sure your cars gonna rust apart anyway before that oring will actually fail. unless it already has..... (i think this is the same rust bucket car im talkiing about right?)

manual or automatic? if its a manual, just put it in 5th w/ the ebrake on, and get a 1/2 drive ratchet with a big pipe and it should come off, installation is reverse, just get it TIGHT!

my sube sat for like 2 years, when i started it, BOY were those lifters LOUD for the first 15 minutes, like it sounded like rod nock, i got sorta scard, but it went away after like 15-20 minutes and now u cant even hear them.

I almost got stuck when i got high centerd on some snow in a large gravel parking lot, i rocked it in low back and forth untill it dislodged itself and roared out of there, some guys in a jeep were just staring as my little car roared right through the crunchy deep snow.

trust me, these cars are not worth just fixing and selling, because theres not alot of resale for them. and the ammount of work and parts will get pretty close to what you can get for it and u may not make much of any money if any. If your gonna fix it, drive it, much better investment

My car is running again, yay, the CTS fell in peices in my hand and a cam case breather managed to pop off. Yay...... Its still getting sold. lol

reach up under the whole bumper with your arm, and feel the back of the latch mechinism, ull feel this lever, pull it towards the drivers side of the car i belive and the hood should pop, been doing it since like december when mine broke

yea mistake #1, you dont buy a turbo 80's car as a daily driver. u rely on. Oh yea it tested negative on the headgasket test. I think it wont start cause of the CTS, the soldering job isnt holding up, its coming off, so i yanked off both wires, and now the car starts easier but dies right away with the ECS light on when its started for the breif 5 seconds. If not im thinking like that crack in the intake tube from the MAF got bigger....
