oczuk32 Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Here from Chino California introducing my new 1984 GL Turbo Wagon. I believe im the second owner after all the hassles I've been thru with DMV. I found the car on craigslist after just browsing thru the ad's, It was a barn find. The guy I got it from had it parked over ten years. What got me interested was the low mileage. I has 95236 original miles on the odemeter. The car is pretty much complete. Just a dent on the driver side door. What sold me was that it came with the complete factory service manual. And the car manual with the maintenance book with all the services done at its proper mileage. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oczuk32 Posted August 5, 2019 Author Share Posted August 5, 2019 Thanks to all. I'm finding out little by little why it was parked for ten years. Its running rich and has fail smog twice. So far I have replace everything but the oxygen sensor. I will start a thread on the on the Old Gen forum to see who could give some suggestions.

carfreak85 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Try doing some tests on the fuel pressure regulator. You have the EA81 factory service manual and EA81T supplement, correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carfreak85 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Keep an eye out for the supplement on eBay, I've seen a few pop up here and there in the recent past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amarine1 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 I am a little confused. Doesn't California let 25 yr old & older cars avoid being smogged (emissions)? By the way, yours is the turbo/automatic trans version of my '84 GL. You have a nice car there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plutonium Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 That's a really nice 84, nice find! I had an 84 maroon GL FWD sedan in 1992 and it wasn't in nearly as nice condition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
