We picked this up from Utah while stationed in Idaho. 450 bucks, trailer to take it home due to unknown non starting issue. After much ado, determined the ecu had fried. Replaced the ecu with another 90 NA ecu and she great pretty good.
For about two days, then of course, the timing belt snapped. Bent every valve.
So might as well go turbo, eh? Picked up an awd laser for 600 bucks and towed it home to sacrifice.
So, since my wife enjoys car projects, she wanted to tackle the thing entirely on her own accord, with me assisting in pointing at what to do and for difficult bolts. Progress from today below.
