So, 2 years ago, in August of 2011, I got stupid lucky and found this 88 SHP Starion hiding out in NJ.   Here's what I know about the history of the car: The seller claimed he was the 2nd to own the car. He said he bought it off the original owner after it had sat not running for several years in a garage. It has a documented mere 59K on it. Not knowing anything about cars mechanically he bought it for nostalgic reasons and figured his mechanic could get it running. Wrong. His mec

Ok i had my 89 auto act up on me on the freeway. I had it towed to a autoshop and i was told they engine needs to be rebuilt. The thing is i had the tranny rebuilt and it just seems weird now my car has problems with the engine. The car started making a sqeaking sound like maybe the cltuch wasn't engaging. So if i need to rebuild the engine how much should i be looking into to do this....also if its the bottom that needs to be rebuilt i have one from a manual. Will it work on a auto set up?

was doing some work and putting my valve cover back on, then SNAP the stupid bolt snapped in half. We tried using an ezout on it but that didnt work. i think probably because the bolt we drilled was off center. Any ideas on what do do next? Would really like to resolve this without having to pull the head or disassemble the assembly.   This is what's left: http://www.starquestclub.com/forum/uploads/gallery/album_1216/gallery_7736_1216_47964.jpg

6 is a slightly hotter plug, but the 7 is recommend OEM   im wondering if there's anything to consider given the changes in gas in the last 25 years, and, those of us running higher boost than stock.   any views on this guys?
