Finished replacing everything that looked, felt, smelled like rubber under the hood. All fuel lines, vacuum lines and plug wires. Replaced spark plugs, cap and rotor, too. Started it up today and checked for leaks. Had a small vacuum leak that turned out being the idle adjustment screw on the throttle body. Lucked out finding it, it was idling a little high, naturally from the vacuum leak, and I just wanted to idle it down some so I could hear better...and as soon as I turned the screw...the vacuum leak stopped and the idle settled right down.
Ran the car for about four hours on and off, while looking for leaks...and all was good.
Seemed good to hear it run again. I was tempted to get the tires out of the basement and throw them on for a quick spin. But, the front spoiler is still off and the wheel well panels are out...so I passed on that notion.
So far...
WP and TB done.
Changed anti-freeze.
Changed oil and filter.
Replaced all rubber fuel lines under the hood and injector rubber grommets.
Replaced all vacuum lines.
Tune up.
Replaced all belts.
Replaced vertical grill mounting brackets.
Still working on...
Repairing front chin spoiler.
Rear hatch latching assembly, upper and lower protions.
On the list...
Tie rods.
Replace clamps on rubber CV joint boots and fill with new grease.
Buy a new set of rims.
Clean underneath of car and wheel wells.
Things I decided to pass on this year...
Motor mounts.
Oil pan gasket (since tighten the loose bolts helped out tremendously).
Thank you, to everyone that offered advice.
Brian.
