i got a undrivable gxl but the engine cranks and runs well, i got a drivable turbo II that i cant get to crank.
both are 1988s
gonna compress test the turbo, but just wondering what items from the engnie can i transfer to the turbo II so that i can hopefully replace a bad part and get this thing working, thanks guys!

and bye the way, how fast should the turbo turn over, becuase it seems 3 times slower then my gxl did, about 5 pulses every 3 seconds. thanks

just a recap:
this after noon i am swapping over the:
spark plugs/wires
AfM
and my custom regrounded wires, anyone else add please?

Icemark

well that non turbo AFM won't work on a Turbo, as it is calibrated different for a non turbo than a turbo.

The spark plug wires will be a little short if they are OEM (and what is the point if they are OEM and then they should have been replaced 7 years ago anyway)

any ideas u got to make this thing turn over faster mark?

Icemark

what is your battery voltage?

14v last time the battery was in my other 7, and it started it right up...

Icemark

could be a bad starter, a weak battery, bad battery and starter connections, stuck apex seals...

k thanks for giving me something to try, do you reccamend just putting oil into un sticking the apex seals?, or something like brake plaster or pb blaster?

Icemark

a little ATF if probably fine (a little just in there for a few minutes- not overnight, not more than a teaspoon) to loosen stuck seals.

atf? automatic transmission fluid?

Icemark

yep.. only a little bit, you just want something thin to build compression and lubricate slightly...

Too much, or letting it soak in, will cause problems like blown and/or leaking seals
