Re: Parting out junker car in Pennsylvania

is the frame rusty? Maybe it's too hard to change/harvest a frame. Mine has frame damage, and it needs about 300 to fix it.

Re: '86 4WD automatic (Victoria, British Columbia) $800

I was looking for one 4wd automatic, but bought one 2wd with hope, and spent too much on it already :(

Re: vibration when car stops

Thanks. I won't mess up the idle/air mixture screw now.
I only adjust the idle speed screw, not the fast idle screw, because it has to plug the tubes first. Was it the reason why it didn't change the engine idle speed? cold start is fine, and it idles better when it's not in gear. Don't know what ...

Re: vibration when car stops

update:
I spray the carburetor cleaner to those vacuum tubes connections, engine sounds normal-no change. I clockwise turned the idle speed adjust screw(upper one), no big change - It vibrated less if I press gas pedal a little bit.
Is it related to the air/oil mixture adjust? Is there anything I ...

Re: vibration when car stops

Thanks a lot for all the comments.
I cannot see the engine speed as of newer car, otherwise I would know it's the limit of the car. I blame the throttle cable for it's not fully utilize the engine power when I found it's loose. The pictures says all, now I know the limit.
It was blocking the traffic ...

Re: vibration when car stops

Thanks, Tom. I think I got the wrong part.

The vibration is not subtle, I have been drive 4 cylinder car for several years, and it's worse than that. on flat ground, it's hard to accelerate over 70, the speedometer has 110 on it, so I suppose it can do better. it got 33 while driving under 65.
The ...

Re: 87 SR5 - Vancouver BC

if it's gonna only need oil, I can deal with that. I have one (FWD) and I don't know how much I will have to put in to have it registered. BTW, the pictures are not showing correctly.

Re: vibration when car stops

Some new things I noticed while I was driving it back.
It's not easy to get above 70mph, I noticed the throttle valve adjust cable is loose (gas pedal is loose too), and adjust the nuts behind the carburetor seems not help, need a new cable or it's different style of adjusting? Thanks.

Re: vibration when car stops

Thanks guys.
I should add the details of my car at first. I recently bought it from FL for less rust. It's a 3A engine, auto, fwd, 210000mile. It vibrates before I drove it from fl to MD with potentially bad outer tie rod(LF) and driving shaft(LF, bad boot). It needs alignment since the right front ...

vibration when car stops

Hi all,
my 1987 fwd wagon vibrates when it's not moving, like at the traffic lights, in park.
I was told it might be the engine mount /motor mount, but I cannot find all the engine mounts, i ordered parts thru autozone and aap, they came in different size.
Could anybody here give me some directions ...
