Definate translation problem. Posted by Ari [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Looking at a 9000S - valve problem?, JJ, Wed, 28 May 2003 13:43:38 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
You know it isn't a valve she's talking about. There are 16 valves, not four.
Now you're stuck with a detective story - what did she really mean? Tough to say. Logic says it sounds like a cylinder is misfiring, which could be a bad spark plug, bad wire, cap, rotor, or bad/clogged fuel injector.
But it could also be a stuck or noisy valve, and she doesn't realize that there are four valves per cylinder, not one. After all, she has demonstrated a lack of knowledge.
Basically, guessing won't work. I'd assume it was a cylinder misfire, which is probably ignition, followed by fuel. Lastly is a stuck valve - not probable, but expensive.
As to commonality, the 9000 engine is essentially the same as the 900. Of course, that depends on what year. The '89 9000S is the same engine as you'd find in a normally aspirated 900 of earlier years. The 900 went to the 2.1L engine in the '89-90 time frame, but even that is a very minor change.
For all intents and purposes, the engines are the same.
