  13. 1987 Chrysler Conquest TSi 5 Speed for Sale

    in Cars for sale

    Posted · Edited by PAFirefighter11

    At this point I don't have the time, money, and especially room for it, that's why I'm willing to trade, but only for a motorcycle now. I've got a built Jeep Wrangler, a Chevy Silverado, my motorcycle, then my roommates Jeep Cherokee, Jeep Comanche, his motorcycle, and my other roommates E30 M3, E30 3 series, and Dodge truck in our driveway lol. No space here for it and my buddies mom wants it out of their driveway. It really stinks as I love this car, but without those 3 things I listed, not much can be accomplished.

     

    Oh, btw, $2500 obo.

    Year: 1987

    Make: Chrysler

    Model: Conquest TSi Widebody RWD

    Color: Red

    Mileage: 125k

    Transmission: Manual

    !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!SOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

     

    Description: Long story short... I bought this from a friend of mine who spun a bearing earlier this year. He sent the motor off to Blitz Performance in Kennett Square, PA to have the motor rebuilt. Came back, put it back in the car, and we got everything hooked up just as he had to leave to head back to school in Florida. It has run great both at idle and under boost, however it's not running properly at the moment. I'm thinking the head gasket was not put on or torqued properly and due to this some fluid is coming out, along with smoke out of the exhaust 'til it warms up. It also will not currently rev above 2500-3000 RPM. I don't know enough about these cars or internals of motors to really do anything to it. My lack of free time and spare cash have caught up to me as well.

     

    I did have a fellow StarQuest owner come look at it. He thinks it may be the secondary injector causing the revving issue and head gasket causing the slight leakage issue. At this point, I've decided to goa head and sell it.

     

    Here's what it's got...

    Motor: 2.6L motor, bored .040 over, mechanical lifters, AJUSA all metal head gasket, Wiseco forged 8:1 pistons

    Trans: 5 speed

    Turbo: Stock

    Exterior: Red

    Interior: Black Leather

    Suspension: Semi race suspension (Tokico Blue Shocks, Eibach Springs, HD sway bars, all poly bushings.)

    Rims: Aftermarket rims with rear deep dish

    Tires: Newer tires, I will list brand/sizes when I double check this week

    Exhaust: Custom with Cherry Bomb and dual tips

    Other: Turbo XS Blow Off Valve, Black leather 6 way adjustable seats, braided lines, aftermarket steering wheel, etc.

    Car is located in Chadds Ford, PA at my buddies house. I have the clean title in hand (in my name). I'm looking to get $3000 obo for it. I'll also accept trades on bikes, V8/manual domestic cars, DSM's (turbo), and certain BMW's, Nissan's, Toyota's, Jeep's, etc. Show me what you've got!]

     

    EDIT: Car is now at my house in Exton. No longer looking to trade.

    Thanks guys, I swear I checked the injectors before and all was well, but I'll double check if I get a moment tonight or Saturday night.

     

    Steve: That would absolutely rock! At least at that point I'd be able to narrow it down to a certain sensor or something. It'd be nice to see the engine bays side-by-side as well. There are a few things in mine that I'm unsure are correct or not. It would be much appreciated! My first free moment this weekend is going to be Saturday night, probably after 9pm is when I'll be home. The car is at my buddies house (whom I purchased it from) in Chadds Ford (Closer to DE), just off of 100/Creek Road and Route 202 - easy to find from DE. I'll PM you my #. My phone blows and I don't always have signal, so I typically have to text (it sucks). I need a new phone too. "The things you own, own you" ... fun!

    Are we talking about under load or free revving?

     

    No crank sensor. ECU's are rarely bad. Secondary injectors (both injectors) are frequent culprits on running issues. Fuel delivery is a HUGE issue when the pumps and filters get old.

     

    Toss an ohm meter on them - look for 3.5 ohms. There's a million threads on testing injectors but cleaning them if they work is best sent out.

     

    Might find what you need here: http://starquest.i-x...6c21194fb05d761

     

    Do be careful spending on parts you probably do NOT need. Test the TPS for sweep and output, that kind of thing. They're probably $200 these days new. An ignitor can be had for $20 here but dealer sold for $400 like 10 years ago. :)

     

    This "2500 redline" is both free idle and under load.

     

    I did a visual check of the spray. The primary injector looked to spray fine. Plenty of fuel on the TB flap. When hitting the gas hard it would kind of burp/backfire with the TB exposed while we were watching the injectors spray. TPS sweep looked fine. It was a smooth movement. This is from my mechanic buddy (13 years as a Chrysler Mechanic) who looked at the car on Sunday:

    Yes, the throttle bodies butterfly can be closed or all the way open. ya , the tps gives a voltage reading to the PCM<power control unit> between .10v to 0.50v at closed throttle and at W.O.T< wide open throttle>it can get to 4.5v or above .Yours was .14v on the one wire and 5.60v on the other your ground was good too.I dont think its the tps, but i'm not sure, i think pcm you know, or a boost conrol switch, sensor.

     

     

    It's either a bad injector or mass air sensor or the wastegate is unplugged. And it's AJUSA, not Agusta.

     

    I will check the wastegate tonight. Just listing parts that the prev. owner listed to me lol.

     

     

    The distributor times the ignition event mechanically and sends a signal to the ignitor to fire the coil. The rpms are raised from this but that's because the throttle opened and allowed in more air. The injectors are fired based off rpms and how much from other sensors. TPS is only for throttle enrichment for throttle-up or fuel cut on decel. TPS quick movement causes secondary injector to come in. TPS isn't causing your issue. High rpms and/or boost also makes the secondary come in. Sounds like dirty clip on the secondary or the secondary is just dirty and or the primary too. 02 sensor can't do that much and it can't correct for dirty injectors. Fuel dispensed improperly won't burn as efficiently.

     

    Alright, I'll look into these guys again. I did all that testing months ago and I thought all was well, but I shall try to confirm again. Thank you!

    PCM, TPS, Crank Position Sensor, MAF, ECU, anything else? The car is running beautifully at idle and up to 2500 RPM during slow increase of the throttle. However, if somewhat stomped, it can rev upwards of 4000 RPM, but quickly drops back under 2500. I have searched for replacement sensors and located most of the ones I will need, but they are quite expensive. Ideally, I am trying to find a local Starquest owner who will let me "borrow/test" sensors and the PCM with him/her right next to me, so I can resolve this issue.

    All vacuum lines are routed and look proper per my diagrams. The Sensor with a "T" has two yellow/green runner wires coming off of it. This is spliced. Today I spliced the proper wire into the black line per photos on that other Starion/Conquest forum post. The other wire matches 3 other yellow/green runner wires that are openly spliced .. doing nothing.

     

    The plugs I pulled to check, they aren't perfect, but not horrible.. here's a cell phone shot (I took real photos too .. will upload tonight if I get a sec):

    Cleaned them off, checked gap, it's at .044. Put them back in.

     

    Car did NOT run fine on first cold start today. Still idles fine. Hesitates and tries to die when slowly hitting the gas, but if you hit the gas hard enough it will run up to 2500 RPM, sometimes higher if I hit the gas harder. It then continues doing the "redline/rev limiter" bounce.
