March 8, 20215 yr Hi all, So i finally got this ea82t engine to start after many years of sitting. It has new coil, plugs, cap rotor, thermostat, vacuum lines, fuel lines, fuel pump. Fired right up, a bit rough, leaky and smokey, but smoothed out after 15 mins of running. After it gets to temp, it has a heck of a time restarting.???? Any guidance for this. Also i did break the thermo vacuum valve and I capped off the lines that went to it.. The 4 wheel drive button does not engage the tranny....??? Ideas for that.

March 9, 20215 yr CTS = Coolant Temperature Sensor. Check the vacuum lines to get the 4WD to engage. Assuming they are the same in 1986 as 1992? I know some cars had manual 4WD engagement, but if it has a switch, chances are it uses vacuum controlled by solenoid valves.
March 9, 20215 yr Coolant Temperature Sensor. It tells the ECU the engine temp, so it can adjust the amount of fuel. A cold engine needs a lot more fuel to get started and run. Oppositely, if the extra fuel is fed to a hot engine, it won't want to start or run well. The CTS is a 2 wire sensor in the lower part of the thermostat housing. Keep your eye open for a Factory Service Manual on ebay, etc. There is no substitute.
March 9, 20215 yr What transmission does it have? The 3 speed auto the 4WD is switched by a solenoid on the side.
March 9, 20215 yr The actuator may not engage when stationary, unless the dog clutch/engagement mechanism is correctly aligned for it to slot in. Or there could be a hole in the vacuum actuator or vacuum line. Time to get stuck into the system and have a good look at it. Cheers Bennie Edited March 9, 20215 yr by el_freddo
