84GLturbo

It doesn't have to be the EA81 motor?

After several hours online and calling parts houses I am coming up empty. Does anybody know of a parts supply that might carry this part?

Got it out so now the hunt for a new one starts....

Thanks

Do you know if the bolt holding the crank pulley is right or left thread? It is tighter than hell and I'm trying not to turn the crank with it...

We finally got it out... The dist froze and shredded the gear on the crank... Do I have to pull the motor and split the case to get to it?

If I remove the plug in the pic can I get access to the gear at the bottom of the shaft?

Front passenger side. I checked the vin on a link somebody posted here. It was produced 10/83

Thanks, I am going to try the slide hammer trick real gently. I wasn't looking forward to dismantling every thing to get to the crank seal. This was just going to be a project and now it sounds like work... Lol

It is wedged.. Now I cant even turn it. What am I going to damage if I pop the reluctor of the shaft and try moving it with vise grips? I can't find an exploded view of where the shaft lines up with the cam gear.

The dist is jammed in there. I tried to lift it out and can turn it a couple degrees but it is jammed solid. Any ideas on getting it out without causing more damage?

It's an 84... Going to pull the dist and see what I can see.... Just saw that it had gears but read they were pretty bulletproof.

Well I just pulled off the distributor cap and nothing. The damn timing belt must have broke.... I had spark a couple days ago so it must have happened since then. Guess its time to get dirty, any advice?

I didn't take the temperature into account, we were in the high 20's last night and now that it is warming up it is back up to 45. It might not have any leakage.

I plugged the return line on the reg and bumped the pump with the gauge teed in. It started at 50 lbs and I left it overnight, about 17 hours and it dropped to 35. I can't see that little bit of leakage flooding the motor. I have spent a long time looking for troubleshooting diagrams and the ones I have found really don't tell you anything.

Could the injectors be stuck open? How can I test them?

I ran new lines and they all match the diagram. I made a tee with my gauge and it is 50 lbs with just the pump on and just under 40 when cranking. The pressure bleeds right off when just the pump was on but it holds around 40 when cranking and holds it until I cycle the key back on then bleeds right off. Wouldn't start and when I pulled a plug the cylinder had a lot of fuel in it. I verified we had spark afterward also.

Lol It actually is stamped made in usa. First part I have seen made here in a long time.

The pump I put on was an Import Direct brand part # E16078. I checked the return line back to the tank and it is clear so I am going to replace the other lines as per the diagram. Thanks for that.

Here is a pic of the regulator by the pump.

I am trying to get an understanding of the fuel plumbing, somebody may have replaced the lines at some time. The line coming out of the filter from the pump tees off and goes to the rear injectors. There is a crossover to the front injectors and the front ones are plumbed to each side of the regulator and the line on the top of the regulator goes back to the return on the firewall. Does this sound correct? I have tried to find diagrams and am not having any luck.

There is a regulator beside the fuel pump on the splash plate that has an adjustment on top. Can I dial it down from there?

I tested it at the fuel filter under the hood and it pegged my gauge that goes to 100 psi.
