Hey guys,
I just picked up a 1995 Del Sol with a "blown head gasket." I opened the hood and started it up... this was the results...
1. Car started fine, seems to idle a little funny.
2. Took it for a drive, and it misses a little under load... if you hit the right spot on the gas it accelerates fine.
3. I unhooked the MAP sensor and it quit, but when I unhooked what I believed to be the Idle Air Control Module... nothing, no change in idle, nothing like that.
4. A little white smoke does come out of the exhaust, but I think thats just a mixture thing... the shittle idle and the missing under load, too much gas.
5. The car NEVER overheated while the old owner drove it, he brought it in because it would sputter a little at a stop sign, or at a red light.
it also has a cold air intake.
thats about it, let me know if you guys have heard of this... or anything common with a D16Z6 sputtering at stops signs and missing under load, my dad thinks its just a driveability problem, something giving it the wrong mixture.
thanks guys!
