Hi,
The engine did overheat earlier, but just a tiny bit. We did a complete radiator flush, changed coolant and replaced the leaking top tank. Heard from the radiator guys, that if the radiator is flushed once per year, the only thing to ever replace on most cars, is the top tank. They said most people replace "everything" as the mechanics love to charge them.
The Starwagon has automatic choke, not manual. The loose cable you see near the PCV valve is the gas wire, not a choke cable. It's automatic transmission.
Will get the compression tester tomorrow Friday. (thanks baby!)
I'll look for o2's, ecu and cat today.
Thanks for the link, wished I read it a bit earlier lol.
I am not sure if I can do the groove job on the main port today... I need some help! As you can see it is 2 millimeter from the TB plate to the edge. Got recommended to use the mid bit. If you look at the last TB pic showing the plates, a groove there would mean the two ports will be connected on the thinnest place of the TB - where the two ports are nearest each other... To solve this, I guess I can use mid bit on all the degrees where the material is thicker, and smallest bit where the material is thin.
Secondly, a screw holds the main port a bit open. It is not fully close. Perhaps for the idle? Shall I turn the screw to close the plate in full before I groove? I guess if I do, the groove will be made exactly 0 millimeter after the plate. It SEEMS I have no space to do the groove unless it's fine to let the groove come directly close to the plate. I can solve the space problem by getting a TB spacer at 10 bucks
That way, I get about 1cm extra goods to work with.
The spacer would probably solve the issue of having the groove to close to the plate, but it wouldn't solve the issue of that even the tiniest bit would connect the two ports on the part where the body is thinnest.
If you don't know what I mean, I can illustrate it on a pic...
Thanks guys!!
