... short story -- my 88 9KT with 179,000 cranks but does not even try to start ...
.. background - i spent my spare time at nite over the last week putting in a new heater core and cabin fan. when back together i was reminded it idled wild at start up so i put a used AMM on .. and it calmed down.... took it for a test drive 11PM -- got some gas - and on way back i noticed throttle seemed sticky -- took foot off petal and tac stayed at 2500 rpm for half mile .. got back -- moved heater hoses that seemed to be rubbing throttle cable .. it started a few times - died - now it just cranks .
.. i noticed wires coming from side of distributor were loose and when i tried to push them back - engine stalled .. coincidence..?
.. i also had remounted to the radiator housing a round white thing that has hoses going to the turbo ... what's that and could moving that impact starting ..
... i am reluctant to screw around too much more so I came here for advice...
thanks
Shawn
