Hey guys whats up i really need help i have a 89 non turbo and when i start it it takes a while (cranks) then the second time starts right up ...... Auto tranny for now but when i put it in drive some times it shakes if i hit the gas if i slowly accelerate it doesnt do this please help me!??!??!? thanks alot

 

As far as cranking goes, have you checked to see where your CAS(Crank Angle Sensor) is at? For example, is it in it's original position(middle). I still deal with this problem because if I place my CAS in it's original position, idle becomes no existent. so I stick to dealing with using the gas pedal to crank. But anyways, check to see where your CAS is at. That's the only help I can give you.

 

I am going with a tune up on this..

 

Ok thanks about the CAS now how would i actually check that ???
Also its been tuned up the actual front of the car shakes fairly bad.......also sometimes it take a min. to go into gear and sometimes when i put it in drive the light doesnt go on the "D" so i put it in nuetral then drive again and its fine

 

Don't touch the CAS unless you have a timing light. Without a light, you're guessing.

 

Ok so i should just stick with the gas pedal and deal with it huh? until i get a light also do you know anything about the other problems??

 

I'll pay for your plane ticket to come here and throw that into Ortiz Racing's face. That is what they did. Ever since then, I've been guessing. I have to look into getting a Timing gun soon. Carl is the only person who has a Timing Gun, and well, I really don't like bothering him, so I'll do it myself once I get the moeny.

 

Have you done a tune up yet???

Checked TPS??? new spark plugs??? new fluids??? etc everything that a 60Kmile tune up would require???

And next time you post a new thread... post a real title. You will get much more help then.
