c4don Posted July 22, 2017 Report Posted July 22, 2017 Hi all I posted here a while back about my 88 AE82 4AC motor not idling. So the thermostat was stuck open and causing a problem with the vacuum lines. Replaced thermostat Still no idle so off with the fuel pump. and hey presto badly warn linkage in the pump causing fuel starvation under 1,200 revs. Replaced fuel pump Motor now idles but there is a rattle coming from the distributor end of the camshaft. Next step will be to remove rocker cover and observe. But for now has anyone had wear problems with the distributor on this motor. I would have thought that 132000 ks is relatively fresh for one of these and its not been flogged as its my mothers car. Any comments greatly appreciated. Quote
