November 12, 200619 yr ok it turned out the Water pump gasket actually blew out! its fixed now, i took the a/c compressor out and the water pump was a breeze and i got the gasket on correctly. but now the things wants to overheat and is gutless as hell, i musta did somthing to the timing cause i tried to tighten the slack Sounds like you've got a vacume leak. Use carberator cleaner and spray around the vacume hose fittings. If your leaking, the vacume hose will suck up the cleaner and the rpm will rise for a few seconds. Make sure you only do this when the engine is cool, when it warms up quit doing it. You may have moved a vacume hose and cracked it are something. You can also use the carb cleaner around your intake manifold, too. That's my 2 cents and it's worth a nickel. ~Myles~
November 12, 200619 yr what did you do with the timing? and did you check your thermostat? you may have fried it, (opends too late or at the wrong pressure) and the gutless part... check timing, plugs, plug wires. what all did you do to ut:confused:
November 12, 200619 yr Author one of the belts wernt tight enough so we tighten it, both are still right on. My coolant temp sensor is pretty corroded but i havent got the plug for it to replace yet, and im betting all that coolant under the hood made it worse. But im gonne check vacuum lines, cause its acting like its got a dead spot from idle up to about 2400 rpms and it takes off.
November 12, 200619 yr Author oh and now my drive belts squeak, what the hell, they are really tight, could they be too tight or somthing, or could the coolant that got on them cause it, what can i do to make them stop!!
November 12, 200619 yr that happend to me while i was workin on a 86 sedan. i was playin with the distrib. and when i turned it counter clockwise the idle droped and when i'd rev it, it would squeal the belts. so i advanced it and the idle regulated and it stoped backfireing. and! quit squealin the belts. if your belts are tight the coolent shouldnt effect them they get wet all the time. (rain and what not) um and how many vaccume lines do you have? i might have a easy way to check for the leak...
November 12, 200619 yr Author how many vacuum lines?? uhhh way way way to many to count, lol, its like a speghetti feed from hell in there.
November 13, 200619 yr maybe start it and while running start disconnecting hoses (one by one, reconnecting each hose before moving on) to see if that hose has any effect while disconnected. thats a easy way if there are tons of hoses to work with...
November 13, 200619 yr check the hoses connecting to and under your turbo. Ill bet one of them, or the tiny ones under the intake manifold have blow. water pump is fine I bet.

November 14, 200619 yr Author no not again, lol, im saying originally, sorry, confusing i guess, but its a strange happening, id pour coolant in, and id actually come right back out as i was pouring it back in right below the pump.
