Can anyone tell me if this is an interference motor.

For the fuel filler, jack the car up and remove the right rear tire. You can see the filler tube under a plastic cover. These tubes rot and leak often, may be collapsed from road debris or a blow out. Easily replaced. , you can get one from local junk yard. Pay special attention to the configuration, i.e. how the vent hose attaches. The junk yard will have a couple of different configurations, only one will fit.

That car also has an igniter on the fire wall dead center of the engine bay up high next to all those small funny metal tubes. Check the connector, maybe clean some of the connectors and apply di-electric grease. I bought the same car with a missfire, the previous owner had done a tune-up and didnt get the spark plug caps on tight. You should feel and hear a snap when pushed on properly. Moisture sometimes causes this problem, hose down all the connectors you can find with wd-40. Good luck.

Hope this was a retirement instead of a lay-off. Either way, take a much deserved rest. Enjoy your time off.

Oil or brake fluid? Oil could be coming from the CV axles. Easily replaced, relatively inexpensive, shop around. Also ck with the local junk yard. Haynes manual at your local auto parts store gives step by step procedure for under $20. Get back to me if you need more help. Brake lines are a little more difficult. You can find brake lines pre-made at your auto parts store. Use a hand torch to heat the fitting slightly before you try to loosen fittings. Use tube wrench and break fittings free with a sharp rap from a small hammer.Get back to me if you need more help.

The Haynes manual I have doesnt give accurate procedure for testing the ignition coil or the ignition wires to the coil pack. Any help will be greatly appreciated. ClandestineOutback.
