picked up a DAMN good parts car for 200$ CDN... anyway, car is in awsome condition(body,trany), just been sittin for like 3 years lol, Smells like old gas and oil... gas and oil all mixed up, im gonna take the engine apart and gett it runnin, btw is a 1985 GS 12A , but the great thing is my 80 is a 12a lol so i have Tons of spare parts incase my car craps out on me... but then again im thinkin i might just fix up the 85... lol ... not much sense to post but hey, what else am i gonna do.

 

I have an old 84 GS in a garage in NJ. It has some damage to the front end from hitting 2 deer (only $300 in parts, not bad for 2 deer) and a lost title. I put it on ebay as a parts/race project. Some guy in Nebraska, bought it then wouldn't pay cause he didn't read that it was in NJ (which it plainly stated in the title.)

 

ahh yes, i remember you posting about that in the 1st gen for sale section.

 

lol acualy got it runnin today, posted something about it lol i had said it had a blown head gasket but thats what being braught up in a piston household will do to ya hahahahah. its runnin rough and puffin the most white smoke ive ever seen anyone have any idea whats happnin with it, it got like year old gas in it ... that could be a prob heh, i just replaced the sparkplugs with some NGK R's and it fired right up ... i was surprised

 

Fennix,

1)Give it the ATF Treatment,
then wait 2 days while you do the rest of this list
2) clean out the tank (it has a plug)
3) Replace Fuel Filter
4) Put Fresh gas in,
5) Disconnect the catalytic converter
6) Start her up, and get her smokin *** on a highway while you burn that ATF out.
7) Put new spark plugs in
8) Enjoy your new car.

 

dont forget an oil change, and also to replace the fuel filter once a month or even sooner depending on how bad it gets clogged.

 

when i had it started up it ran soooo rough like had horribly throttle response and low low torque couldnt leave it runnin for very long because its almost out of gas and the neighbors house looked like it was on fire... hhahah, but ya thanks for the good tips, gonna try those today i think.
