Re: [T3] HELP!


<x-charset iso-8859-1>JohnJ=> I have compression, spark, and fuel...
=> ...what gives?

When it gets to this point for me I start looking for that "doh" moment and
the self-administered dope slap. Is there maybe something physically
blocking the left intake (at idle, is it sucking air)? Are the plug wires
*really* not crossed up? It was running well before, so you know it's not
something critically wrong.

If I remember right, this started with checking the valve seats on the 3/4
side. What else did you disassemble in the process? (Sorry if we're doing
some backtracking here, my memory isn't great.) Did you do it in the car or
with engine out? Did you pull the distributor off to clear the engine out of
the car? I'd step back through the process this way and recheck every
reassembly until the mistake comes to light. (I know, this is basic, but
when things start to get weird ...)

Sorry I can't be more help, but you've been doing an excellent job on
diagnosis.
