[88 GL D/R Wagon - Another EJ Swap]

Its been a while since I've said what-up, so I figured I'd show off the new kicks, and say hello! 14" BF AT's will hopefully make for a good summer outdoors!

Well............ Not sure if replacing a torn CV fixed it. Maybe it just wanted to do some offroading, cause I did plenty of that this weekend. Could have just been the HEET with Injector cleaner too Either way its running well again and I am happy. Replaced the O2 sensor just for good measure too.

 

Thanks for the replies!

 

Looks to have been related to dirty injectors or water in the fuel.

 

[Poorly Running '90 EJ22]

Got some HEET with injector cleaner in there. We shall see if that makes a difference. Any other suggestions in the meantime?

I had room for the fans and condenser on my EA82 EJ swap. I used 12" ebay fans. Clearance is a little tight but there is room. Connecting the compressor might be tricky.

Try the HEAT, you will know within 10-20 miles if it helps your engine to run better. If not, it has cost you very little.

 

Gonna get some in there tonight.

[Poorly Running '90 EJ22]

From what you describe, it could be a bad tank of gasoline. Maybe some water in your last tank of gas. Try adding a "dry gas" product to the gas tank to see if that helps.

 

Forgot to mention I did do seafoam, but maybe I'll do some HEAT in there for this tank.

 

Changed out the MAF. Same results.

[Poorly Running '90 EJ22]

So the other day my EJ swap into my wagon started running poorly. I may have gotten on it a little hard, but never exceeded 5k RPM. It idles and starts just fine but hesitates under throttle and is lacking power when cold or warm. There may have been some crud in the gas tank but the issue was not gradually happening, it started right away.

 

Heres what I have tried thus far:

 

Filled the tank - was low

Replaced fuel filter

Upgraded to XT6 fuel pump

Checked for vacuum leaks

Installed CEL - Not on

Replaced plugs and wires

Blew out fuel lines with compressed air

 

 

Anyone have any ideas? I was planning on checking cam timing next. I do not even know where to start with sensors or how to check them without just replacing. O2, TPS, CTS MAF?

 

Thanks in advance!

Painted my wheels last night, got me some plates and insurance, vacuumed, washed glass, and drove to work today for the first time.

Thanks!

Project has been on hold for a while. But I have made a ton of progress in the last week.

 

Did not want wiring hanging above my feet on this build so I put my ECU in a box in the spare tire well. I picked the components up at lowes for about $30. It should keep water out.

 

 

Everything is good to go except radiator fans, which are "Out for Delivery" according to UPS

 

Can't wait to do some off roading!!

[88 GL D/R Wagon - Another EJ Swap]

Made some progress here. It has taken a while, but I found a really clean 91 Loyale with a dead motor and sourced all the parts to repair my EJ. Motor in the bay with the dual range and the lift is in.

Looks great! Love the wheels...looking somewhat stock. What did those come from?

 

Wheels are from a Mazda B2200 with 195-75/14s. I did have to remove material from the hubs to get them on because the center hole was too small. Still climbs great in low range. Took it camping lastnight. Could not have been happier with it.

SJR Lift nearly complete

Update:

Just bought a set of 14" Mazda B2200 wheels with some 25" cooper tires and went ahead and bought the RX parts car for the trans, diff and brakes. There goes my paycheck :-\

[88 GL D/R Wagon - Another EJ Swap]

So my lift will be here tomorrow. This might be a good time to swap out my tired 260k D/R 5spd. Someone is trying to sell me a blown up RX with the AWD and difflock. Opinions? If so, what should I pay for it?
