Help ! 2.5 - 2.2 swap, runs poorly on aceleration
Hi. I just swapped out my 97 OB 2.5 ( w EGR) and put in a 98 2.2 ( no egr.) Things went fairly well. I read about the operation here for months before attempting this. I would have never attempted it with out the many threads heere on how to do this, thank you. The 2.5 has a blown HG or cracked head. The 2.2 engine starts fine, idles well, idels smooth, no vibration etc. Whe accelereating the engine bucks , lacks power , and can only be driven by extreme feathering of the throttle. It will eventually rev all the way, and comes back to an idle great. Did I miss simething? The only emission hose I didnt really have an exact hook for was the solenoid on the right fender, and the canister. On the 97 canister, there is two ports, a big and small. I hooked the small one up to the solenoid. Thanks again if you can point me in the right direction here. Paul

EA82 (carb) - hesitates on accell.....why?
Of course I had the fuel filter in stock in my garage.....it helped but not completely.... accelerator pump draws from bowl, correct, I observed a "dribble" not a squirt..kind of like it needs the roto rooter treatment if you know what I mean.... I guess after 18 years the carb needs some cleaning and rebuilding...... is the weber hard to do? Can I cheat and leave it on the car and just clean it out, change the top gaskets/ accel pump???

EA82 (carb) - hesitates on accell.....why?
New plugs , wires , cap rotor, accell coil.....rna great all winter, now, sometimes, mostly when cold, mostly at lower rpms, when giving gas it bucks, almost dies out, ( doesn't stall) feels like someone turned the key off! let off the gas, slowly gte back into it, and it goes...all the way to 5000 rpm.... Fuel filter? Belts? Thanks, Paul

Another steamer thread....normal?
Doesnt the cat converter change the carbon dioxide? into water through some sort of ion exchange? Seems like sulfur is involved as well... cant ( dont want to?) remeber all that chemistry stuff.... Anyways, the heat of exhaust makes that water steam, and visible in the real cold weather, biut not in the wamr air, although its still there....

Exhaust bolts in head
What ever heli coil package you buy , it will tell you what size stud its for, what size drill to buy... I used M10 x 1.25 stud, which called for 13/32 drill, but you could use Non metric bolts with a non metric heli coil kit..
-
Exhaust bolts in head
I bought a heli colil kit ( tap, 10 coils ) for $30 at Pep Boys...all you need is a 13/32 drill bit and 45 - 60 minutes of time, real easy job...use studs not bolts for replacement
