New Carburetor and Timing Chain, March & April 2008
I got a rebuilt carburetor from carbsonly.com and when I installed it I rounded off the fuel line nut. Once I got the new fuel line I decided to go ahead and do the whole project I had been planning on this spring anyway. Besides the carburetor I put in a new timing chain & sprockets, water pump, fuel pump, power steering pump & pressure hose, spark plugs & wires, EGR valve, factory and aftermarket coolant sensors, heater control valve, heater & coolant hoses and a few other small things. Unfortunately the rebuilt carburetor turned out to be the wrong model (California spec) so I sent it back and went ahead and rebuilt the original carburetor myself. However, the symptoms were pretty much the same afterwards but a little less pronounced.
