January 17, 200620 yr my 87 rx is having some issues, it has a rough idle, sputtering, and a lack of power. the car only has 116,000mi. ive done a complete tune up to it and it hasnt changed much. the car has been sitting for 2 years prior to my saving another rx from the junk pile. im bout ready to tear my hair out with these problems. any suggestions are greatly appreciated:burnout:
January 17, 200620 yr have you pulled codes yet? that would be a good start. just to make sure your temp sensor, purge selenoid, etc are all working properly. also get fresh gas
January 19, 200620 yr Author well the rx is now on life support:dead: . i think a crank bearing went out this morning. metal in the oil is bad. damn car:horse:
March 20, 200719 yr thats odd... I wonder if mayber the oil that sat in it for 2 years was somehow contaminated?
March 20, 200719 yr ripped the motor apart bearing siezed on #2 cyl Oh my Waffles!!! :-\ ... Such a Bad Thing... Could it be Easy to Fix? thats odd... I wonder if mayber the oil that sat in it for 2 years was somehow contaminated? Did it Ran with the Same Oil that was Sat for 2 Years?
March 20, 200719 yr Oh my Waffles!!! :-\ ... Such a Bad Thing... Could it be Easy to Fix? Did it Ran with the Same Oil that was Sat for 2 Years? Well, my thought was more along the lines of, was there maybe a drop or two of water in that oil for two years.. or something like that. I more or less assumed he put fresh oil in it to run the car.
March 21, 200719 yr Well, my thought was more along the lines of, was there maybe a drop or two of water in that oil for two years.. or something like that. I more or less assumed he put fresh oil in it to run the car. I Think that You´re Right! ... Maybe A Li´l Amount of Water / Condensation inside the Engine, did Rusted that Bearin´ ... I remembered that when I was a Li´l Child, I heard ´bout Somethin´ Like That, happened to a Dad´s Friend, who Left the Country to Work Far Away, and his car was totally Abandoned... When he came Back and did Repair it, Engine was Runnin´ with Noises... and then Happened the Same... A Rusted Bearin´ ... I Hope that Rxroo87 Can Fix it Easily... Good Luck!
July 18, 200718 yr Author im rebuilding/restoring the rx back to factory spec with some go faster goodies
July 19, 200718 yr Good luck with your rebuilding. These are some fast cars by nature even when "sick". Worth some attention in my opinion.
