BUT!
Could someone tell me where the timing references are on my 85. I thought
they were around the flywheel throught the top plate ... I totally forgot
where they a located. Also, I BELCHED my cooling system and filled it
with *Sierra Antifreeze. I know your suppose to use the VW stuff but I
can't afford that right now. The *Sierra is phophate free and there was
also a *Havolive phosphate-free (diet) Antifreeze there too.. but for 9
bucks a gallon. Should i worry? The elixer went in 50/50 and i gauged it
to -30 to -32 Celcious. Anything i should worry about? ALSO!!!!! When my
van is warmed up, it surges in park but not in drive.
rrumm..ruuum....ruuum. Get the idea? Well i noticed when i turned my A/c
on that it would speed up. Any Ideas? I checked all the ground and
cleaned connections with contact cleaner. Did the whole 9 with cap rotor
plug fuel filter.. you know everything. I deduced it to either the temp 2
.. O2... or the  Idle stabilizer. I rumms then  cuts.. the rummmzz...
then cutts. Also my gas mileage kinda sucks too. Any love out there?
thanks,
