Least you were able to get it running!

 

Yes that's definitely a plus. I think one or more sensors may have shorted so I need to clear all the codes and see what I've got going on

 

changed the oil again today and ran some seafoam deep creep through the throttle body and directly into the cylinders through the spark plug holes. Still not running right and threw some codes so I went to Autozone to see what I had going on. I got PO171 and PO505. 171 being fuel trim bank one condition so one bank is running lean or rich. I'm not sure which but when I pulled the plugs they were pretty dark in color so if I remember right that would be rich right? I need to check the MAF, O2 sensor, and I might have a misfire or injector problem. 505 Idle speed higher or lower than expected so I either have a vacuum leak somewhere, a dirty throttle body, defective IAC, or just a poor connection to the IAC. I can't wait to get this damn thing fixed so I can just drive it again. After basic and when I can have a car at school I'm going to get a ZJ and build that up as a new DD. I think the body on this one is almost too far gone to repair. Plus I want something more comfortable to drive.

 

I'm pretty sure deep creep is seafoams equivalent to pb blaster lol.

 

It's also used to clean the throttle body and intake manifold and what not. I read the bottle very carefully before I bought it haha. It dispels moisture and all that jazz.

 

Got it. I may have those sensors if u trashed em

 

Which ones?

 

Well I guess I should have figured it couldn't be the easy solution of it just being the sending unit that got messed up. I'm getting the exact same readings from a mechanical gauge. So now my options are the oil pump itself right? Or is there another option?

 

Replace the oil pump.

 

oil pumps not to bad. its like doing a pan gasket

 

I know it shouldn't be too bad I just don't have money to even buy a new oil pump. Waiting on unemployment to finally go through

I don't know if that link works but its the eBay snorkel from china for 150. Do I do it now or do I start collecting parts for the stroker instead? Decisions decisions

 

Do it. I almost bought one the other day but got a tranny cooler with fan instead since my tranny keeps overheating when it shouldnt

 

The only reason I'm even hesitating on it is that im pretty sure my rings and or bearings are shot since she's smoking pretty bad right at start up and if I get on the throttle so I'm not sure how long it will last if I don't rebuild it right away.

 

Rebuild the motor or find a different motor from a jy. Then do a snorkel.
