Car issues: any ideas / help?
So I bought this eg, and i knew i needed to put money into and do a swap, etc :hsd:
Thats why i bought it
But i was hoping to wait more then a few weeks to have to do the swap. So here is whats going on.
The car used to over heat because the radiator was cracked. SO i didnt want to drive it to cause issues. I bought a nice new radiator and it works great. Thinking issues are done. I was wrong. Every day it still loses some water. I have no idea where. there are no leaks, but the radiator needs about 3 inches of water daily.
Its not blowing smoke!
Now, a new issues. It died and idles like crap. it really dosnt even idle it dies. At a stop sign or red light, it just dies. just like that. come to a stop and .... dead.
Could this just be a crap fuel pump / dirty as hell filter? I might change them today ..
I have a h22 and trans / mounts / axles on there way right now, should i just install the new motor / fuel pump / filter and be done with it?
