i picked up a 90 automatic vert in VA saturday for $350, sat for 2 years at a shop
it has a oil leak, im assuming oil lines or sending unit

first problem, on an automatic, when it shifts into 2nd, is it suppose to delay? and when it shifts, is it suppose to feel like someone riding the clutch shifting til its in?

next, i just drained all the old gas and put fresh in it, its running better, but it still has a "miss" sound to it, and it will idle at 1200-1900

any help?

 

also, while driving it around the block yesterday, i had a check engine light, i just checked it, i got this
27 - MOP (General) - Basic Fuel Injection and fixed timing

 

Your metering oil pump has failed, and will need to be replaced. The engine will have no power until you take care of it. Basic fuel injection and fixed timing is limp mode.

 

it did that yesterday, but since then is fine, other than problems in first post
so could that be all my problems except the trans?
i plan to do a 5 speed swap when i get the parts, but for not i just wanna get it roadworthy

 

If it's intermittent, I'd check the wiring to the MOP. It should not go in and out of limp mode. Testing the MOP per the factory service manual (FSM) would still be a good idea. You can find links in the 2nd gen FAQ.

I can't help you with the auto transmission issues, but the FSM will point you in the right direction. I've never had anything other than a manual.

 

ok, though i think ill devote my attention to finding the oil leak now, i looked down, its 1 drip a second.

the hose connections arnt leaking, nor the sending unit, i see a stream running back the oil pan lip from under the a/c compressor, any idea what it is?

 

hey bud where are you from?

 

bunker hill, close to summit point raceway

 

i think i need new struts too

as far as oil leak, we are thinking its the oil pan, any other thoughts?
