Help!!....Major engine problem
Alright i drove the car yesterday up to the store....on my way back the overheat exhaust light came on....i was only like 1/2 block from my parking spot so i drove there and parked it.....today i went out to start it and the light is still on and the engine is idling really really bad....i mean its shaking everything from the engine to the tranny all the way to the exhaust......then i took it for a little drive around this corner to see what was wrong....as i went i couldnt accelerate and the rpm's didnt go above 3k.....im really afraid that i somehow blew a seal or the carb is junk.....any help will be appreciated and if i have to get a new engine how long should i look at for the complete removal and reinstall of a new engine......also i have a major deadline of February 8th to have all this done b/c thats when i get new orders and i have to leave for North Carolina.....thanks for any input...parker
another thing is that i removed the hose that connects under the airfilter...the bendable hose that attaches to the header....and then it stopped dieing when i turn it over....but it still has what feels like no compression....

alright i decided to check the air intake...so i removed the air filter assembly and i plugged the hoses....i came to find out that it ran just fine....the exhaust overheat light is still on but other then that it runs smooth.....i reattached the filter assembly and it stalled out again....so from a process of elimination i found one of the hoses that is causing a vaccuum leak and its stopping the carb from getting air....thats the reason for the rough idle......
i do have a question tho....what is the unit with the pulley directly underneath the air filter assembly....it has one hose that runs from it to the air filter assembly.....is this my smog pump b/c if it is can i just go and remove it without the car having running problems.....thanks....parker
