Mine has the air sensor where the flat plate on yours is. I've left that. Right now the exhaust header EGR flange nut is soaking overnight in PB blaster. It'll be plugged and back together as I have time through the week. Turns out the EGR system had 2 leaks anyway. Sent from my N9130 using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Okay, many thanks. I'm in the northwest, but the part that just rains and rarely gets below the 20's. I'll take the advice on the aluminum plate. Sent from my N9130 using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Upon removing intake manifold, EGR threads broke. Easiest option is EGR delete. No emissions, no O2 sensor. I understand how to plug it, and I don't expect any performance gains. My question is if there is any negative effect on the car, and if anyone has done it, what were the results. Sent from my N9130 using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Does it make any pre ignition "ping" noise? I discovered a vacuum line had ruptured from the ballast to the vacuum advance causing all sorts of problems. Sent from my N9130 using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Just spent a good chunk of Monday on rear wheel bearings. A good pain of a job but it glides like a golden chariot now haha. In a couple of days my gasket set,injectors and connectors should show up. After that job it'll be body work only left. That'll prove to be the most challenging for me. Sent from my N9130 using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Its been deleted, but if I remember it was silver? I asked what he wanted for the licence plates and he said $100. I never replied Sent from my N9130 using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Not many of these left I'd say. The guys says 184k miles but no dashpot photo. Sent from my N9130 using Classic Zcar Club mobile https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/cto/5908260562.html

Around here they go a few grand in basket case condition. So its lucky indeed. It has a strange misfire at 1500-2000 rpm. Not bad but noticeable. I know for sure the injector connectors are toast and it has an intake/exhaust leak around #1 and 2 cylinders. I'm going to deoxit d5 the ecu for safe measure along with a complete vacumn line and injector/connector replacement. Manifold gasket of course. The compression on #1 and 2 are 128psi, the rest sit at 165 ish. I put a known working AFM on it and I've adjusted the valves according to FSM. Hopefully all that will bring compression back up and make the hiccups go away. New CHTS but need connector replaced too. Sent from my N9130 using Classic Zcar Club mobile

She would've been more on point with what its worth. Apparently it was awarded to her in a divorce settlement. Her ex husband was the 1st owner,and seemed to make care of it. She must have daylied it until the brakes wore out and it started running poorly and just wanted it gone. Sent from my N9130 using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Greeting to all. I joyously join this site after having discovered an abandoned treasure in a middle aged lady's garage while installing some kitchen appliances at her home. A 1980 zx n/a. I asked her how much and she said 200$. I went to the bank right then. A tuneup and some seafoam and it sits at my house. About to tear into the intake/exhaust to do the gasket and replace vacumn and elec connectors, fuel injectors and such. Sent from my N9130 using Classic Zcar Club mobile
