Re: 4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010
Got the car running this morning. I had an injector get stuck closed on me and wouldnt fire. (stupid 1600's) Once that started working I drove the car to work and all was well. The car drove smoother then it ever has before. Took a friend from work for a ride in the car after aligning it and I was accelerating in 2nd gear. Not hard, about 1/4 throttle. Then all of a sudden the engine shut off on me. I tried jumping it while still rolling and nothing. Coasted safely to a parking lot and tried to start it once more with just a quick flip of the key and it didnt sound good at all. Had AAA come tow the car and once I got it home ripped into it as fast as I could. Found out the oil pump seized. I thought I locked the engine up cause I couldnt get it to budge, spinning the crank with a rachet. Once I got the timing belt off I checked the idler and tensioner and they were good. Then went to move the oil pump sprocket and it was frozen solid. Timing was still all lined up perfectly and once I had the belt off, the crank spun nice and freely. I still have yet to take the front case off to see what damage was done.. Hopefully I just need a new front case/ oil pump.
