Just got my car out of the shop for a front oil leak and fuel dampner change... Now the car stalz when cold when I first start it. I have to blip the throtle a few times before it idles right...Everything else is perfect afterwards...

 

where was the oil leak? Did they remove the front cover?

 

Yes they removed the front cover...It was the first gasket right thier. Why whats your guess.

 

Where exactly was the oil leaking to like where was the oil dripping to under the car? I am leaking oil but not sure what leaking yet.

 

The top of the front cover...Thats it. It was driping onto the front axle bar thing...Kind of... Slid down to the oil pan and then onto the bar I guess. Cost only 270..hehe.
Then another 300 for the fuel leak and getting some studs removed.

 

Hmm. My leak is well I am not sure. But the oil seems to drip down to the front sort of and the drivers side. There is oil like under the oil fill piping. Not sure whats leaking though. Oh and if you have an oil leak will this take any power away? Like would you have lower compression? Thanks.

 

No but whach your oil pressure...If it drops any then u should have it fixed right away...I suggest u have it fixed anyways. Its worth the money. Rev the engine up or put a load on it and hopefully your oil pressure goes up with it. But this means that your lose more oil out the crack as well. Mine did.

Buy engine brite or some sort of degresear and spray the area. Then drive it hard and u might be able to pinpoint were the leak is coming from.

 

What about my ?.....Anyone.

 

If they messed with the crank angle sensor, check your timing.

 

Yea I was thinking about that in the back of my head...Funny because I noticed ever so slight loss in power around just before 7k rpm compared to before..

Rxseven....does this mean the timing was played with or the shaft or something is misadjusted.

 

They probably removed the CAS but did not put it back exactly as before. Just loosen the 10mm nut and adjust it slightly to see if it makes a difference.

 

Actualy im not going to mess with it. I would be changing the timing without knowing what it is. Plus dont I have to jump something with a wire or something.

 

It's not too complicated. Do you have a mnual? If not there are a couple of places online that have it. Just follow the simple steps.

 

Yes I have a manual but no timing light?

 

I mean I dont have a manual and no timing light but I can figure It out I guess.
