    Loosing collant

    Oil is ok and no coolant smell from exhaust. I think your right about the head

    Loosing collant

    I'm losing about a quart a week. No external coolant leaks. Should I do a CO gas test?

    Throttle body cleaning gave me the most improvement.

    Thermostat - install / symptoms / overheating

    I would also add drilling a 1/8 hole on two opposite side of the thermostat to allow any trapped air to escape. I've done that on every thermostat I've installed in Las Vegas. If you drive a ford or chevy you can get the thermostat with the holes already drilled.

    runs rich and rough

    I cleaned the throttle body and replaced the intake hose from the TBI to the air cleaner . I think it was the TBI cleaning that did the trick. There was enough caked on mess that I'm sure it was keeping the throttle valve partially open.

    I could smell it, used 1/4 tank in 20 miles

    runs rich and rough

    The vechicle is running rich all the time. I'm cleaning the throttle body and replacing a cracked air intake hose. I've got no check engine light. What would cause it to run rough but not cause a check engine light? I've got one coming.

    Replaced the check engine light. It comes on with the key on but goes out when the engine is running.

    It's rich even when warmed up.

    Running rich all of a sudden

    Go to the exhaust, with the engine running you should be able to feel the "pulse" of each cylinder firing. If its a solid flow of exhaust gases then Id think it's a clogged Catalytic converter

    I did. Checked all the hoses where tight and not cracked. Sprayed carb cleaner all around the engine in hopes of finding a leak, no change in RPM. Changed cap and rotor, has new plugs. Runs much better when warmed up for 10 minutes.

    Disconnected the coolant temperature and it started, ran at high idle(1,200rpm) smooth. I shut it off, reconnected the sensor and it ran rough. Maybe Ill disconnected it until the sensor comes in.

    No check engine light when key is on, no jumper in diagnostic port. I'll pull the dash cluster and check the bulb tomorrow,

    runs rich and rough

    Filter was clogged! Washed and dried. No difference. I did find a wire, no connector, that was folded and tucked under the he thermostat housing. I didn't find anything that it looked like it had a a wire missing. I looked over all the vacuum hoses and all where connected and not cracked. I...

    I replaced/ cleaned the grounds when I changed all the belts and hoses. I have a FSM. I'll check it. Thanks

    It's a new vechicle to me. It's done it since I got it. I'll try a coolant temp sensor
