  1. try driving around jerking it around in first gear with the gas pedal in other words start it in gear with the clutch in but make sure you are clear of objects if that doesnt work in a few tries then it has to come apart

  2. my pathy just started doing it i put in the lower trail arm bushing because it would do the death wobble at around 70km or 45mph but there was no shimmy now that i can do 140km with no wobble all of a sudden after 2 months it is doing that shimmy thing weird

  3. sounds like timing belt jumped or stripped or distributor bad

     

    clean around #1 cylinder spark plug(front one pass side) use an air compressor to blow the dirt away from the hole if not then when u remove the plug all the dirt will fall in the cylinder

     

    next follow the plug wire back to the dist. and remember where the post is and remove the dist. cap then rotate the engine by socket on the crank till the dist. rotor button matches up to where the #1 post would have been on the cap and the #1 piston should be at top dead center if its pointing in the opposite direction turn the engine 180 degrees and again the #1 piston should be at top dead center with the rotor button being at the #1 post for the dist, if the rotor button will not line up at top dead center to the dist ccap #1 then your t belt if bad

  4. i had one fail the very next day i installed it got to work and it was leaking was not happy they gave me another pump and it lasted years but sucked doing the job 2 days in a row i risked reusing the belt and left it on when i changed the pump

  5. ok mine was a problem with a valve under the intake plenum called the idle control valve its been a couple of years so i cant quite remember but i found a fix that used intake cleaner sprayed into a vac hose until the engine stalled then i let it sit for a few min and restarted it but still had the prob so i tried it again and in 2 years its been perfect ever since i cant find the write up but will look at what hose i used on my pathy also it can be removed and replaced but u need to remove the upper intake plenum so thats why i cheeped out on a can of intake cleaner and like i said its been 2 years and perfect
