Welcome! the fellow members on here are offering way more advice than I have to give. But I too recently purchased a locked 93 and I am just down the road from you in Waco. Post a few more pictures of the rig!
This is great advice and I am thankful for your willingness to share your exp and provide feedback! I am far from "dialed in" on tools. I am pretty green mechanically so this project has been a great excuse to build out my tool collection. Currently just using wrenches and sockets from a 150...
I rounded off the most accessible nut. I am going to pick up an extractor set and a cheap multimeter from lowes after work to remove and test the sensors. Either way, I am leaning towards replacing them with new ones. From reading a few threads I have seen some say with a 93-94 I need to OEM to...
All great questions. Diving into the stack of receipts and the only history I have is the PO’s journal entry on 1/15/15 “installed two cat converters - $320” … I don’t know what the sensor mounts looked like before but I am pretty sure this is not factory. Haha
I was able to have a fellow cruiser head get it running well without any fuel leaking. (New OEM injector rings , replace fuel pressure regulator, he also replaced a few vac lines, cleaned MAF, and Throttle body while he was in there)
it was sluggish when I gave it gas around 10-20 mph but...
Alright getting more things ironed out. I have enlisted the help of a fellow cruiser head to due to my lack of knowledge and time. We determined the fuel leak was coming from the injectors. Every o-ring was brittle and cracked to pieces with the touch of your finger. We ordered new o-ring kits...
Tonight the plan was to pull the throttle body and upper manifold and inspect the injectors, but look i what I found along the way. I’m a newb and learning as I go… what causes this sludge in the manifold?
So my new to me 93 that supposedly has less than 500miles on the rebuild started to leak fuel. Tonight the plan was to pull the throttle body and upper manifold and inspect the injectors, but look i what I found along the way. I’m a newb and learning as I go… what causes this sludge in the manifold?
Alright here we go. After I shut off the engine I could smell gas in the engine bay. Upon initial inspection it looks like it could be leaking from the delivery pipe / injectors? Impossible to see under there. Slid my phone through and snapped a few pictures.
It doesn’t seem to run rough, so...
Dark Green and Bright yellow. This would be a perfect rig for a Green Bay Packers fan.
I really am not sure about the long-term plan. Right now I am just cleaning it up as if I am keeping it for it forever. I have no idea what it would be worth if I tried to sell it. What does "K294" mean...
Yeah, I am starting to look if it is even possible to paint over bedliner? Might try using a HF spray gun with Sherwin Williams Kem 400?
The bumpers are solid. NW Trail Innovations. The spring-loaded lock pin on the rear gate is seized and will drop in to lock gate in place when open. Also...
I took out the rear and thought I could the keep the front piece in. scrubbed it with carpet cleaner but might still take it out too. Dash and doors are cleaning up nicely.
Haha! Yeah, that is way better than the massive Monster Energy sticker I was going to order. No joke, when I asked the PO, "How did you decide on this yellow?" He pointed to two dime-sized dents and said, "to cover up these little blemishes"... o_O
