89 Super Coupe
Registered User
So my friend has an 89 SC with about 250,000 miles on it.
The problem(s): Strange disappearing brake fluid. It will sputter and stall, the RPM is all over the place. It sounds like there is a misfire, it also sounds like the air/fuel ratio is off. Im fairly sure there is a vacuum leak, and It will hesitate when you rev it.Also! There is smoke (what i suspect to be blowby) pouring from the dipstick hole. Which could be a PCV failure or worn out rings. When it starts it will start at 3,000 rpm, and then drop and go between 800 and 2,000. Then when you try and rev it the tach will quickly drop to zero and then back up to about 2,500 or so. Then it started backfiring!
{[Now the car wont even start at all}]
What we have replaced so far:
Idle air control valve
Coil Pack
Ignition control module.
Mods:
intake ducting. pod air filter. catalytic converters removed.
Heres a video of it running.
