| New to me with 168,000 miles on her. Experiencing variable idle [600rpm-1300rpm] and a bit of sluggishness on slow acceleration. Getting between 30 & 40 mpg, but I know she can do better. Hoping a new 02 sensor will help her out. Had her up on a lift and saw no sign of accident and almost no rust at all, except for a tad surface rust on the rear arches. Original dealer decal was from Huntsville Alabammy. I think its been in Indiana for the last 3 or 4 years. When I got her the paint was oxidized beyond repair, no amount of rubbing was going to restore a shine so I had Maaco throw some paint on just to protect the steel and repair the arches. Documented previous owner repairs include a new timing belt and water pump, new plugs [ZFR5F-11 maybe if I'm reading it right], PCV valve, distributor and rotor, plug wires, fuel filter, valve cover gasket, outer cv boot kit, alignment and A/C rebuilt. I added a new TPS to try to correct low accel lag and am on the verge of throwing an O2 sensor at her to see if it'll straighten her out. I am open for suggestions! New EACV fixed my hunting idle. She seems to be running great now!!! |
