Picture Request - 3.2 'back side'
I am convinced I have an unmetered vacuum leak in my 1986 3.2. Idle has always been low [about 600] and not very smooth. Engine has less than 20K on it so I'm thinking there may have been something left disconnected in the post-rebuild reassembly, or an old line is cracked, or the like. I get little response from the engine in terms of less RPMs when I remove the oil filler cap.
I'd like to feel/look around the other side of the engine to make sure I am connected or find otherwise. So, does anyone have a good res pict of the front of the engine? Between a pict and a mirror I should be able to see wht is there. I've seen a few diagrams, but a real picture would help greatly. thanks todd 86 Coupe |
I've got my engine ('86 3.2L, coincidentally) sitting on the floor right now. I'll see if I can find my roomy's digital camera and go get a picture of the front.

Kinda filthy, but...

Here's some closer shots. Sorry they're a bit out of focus, but it should be close enough to show the detail you're looking for. Goshdernit, Randy -- you need to not post so quickly! Give some of us slower folks a chance to keep up!! :)

Sorry, Dan! :(
Guess that's one of the bennies of working in IT. Seems like I'm on this board every 10 minutes or so. Sometimes I hate when it's time to go home, cuz then I actually have to work!!! :eek: Randy |
lol, I suppose owning a good digital camera is one of those bennies, too, eh? :) I wonder if our silly little pictures helped at all?

Thanks guys. My cable TV/internet went down at home last night. I'll post what if anything I am able to find. I hate to take it in to the dealer for such a thing. Valve adjustment - yes; loose hose - no.
thanks todd 86 coupe |
Todd,
Here's one more. It shows the hoses clearly. Sorry about the 17 years of dirt! http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1091903073.jpg |
Thanks. I bet that dirt won't be there when it goes back in!
