Re: 1995 850 basic/ lost all engine oil

Thanks for the tip about the pan side gasket. however I don't think that is the problem.

Let me tell you about today's chapter in the Saga of the missing slippery stuff. I did indeed put the car up on the ramps. I put a gallon of oil in the sump. Next I pulled off the timing belt cover & the ...

Re: 1995 850 basic/ lost all engine oil

As I said in the original submission, I checked behind the timing belt covers & it is dry. There was some oil under the valley cover
(over the spark plugs) but not much. My plan at this time is to add some oil, put the car up on ramps, start it up & watch the oil fly. Does anyone know a witch doctor ...

Re: 1995 850 basic/ lost all engine oil

Anyway Ive got no turbo,so no turbo oil lines! I guess its back up on the ole ramps,once more with feeling ...

Re: 1995 850 basic/ lost all engine oil

Sitting in the car it is the right side, or the timing belt end of the engine, behind the engine( between the engine & the firewall),
needless to say that with 5 quarts of oil saturating that corner of the engine, that whole side,(passenger side) of the car is soaked, the whole top of the frame rail ...

Stopped the car immediately . Checked the oil ...

Re: 850 GLT automatic 1995 #3 cylinder /dead

tailor SAID:So , why not swap another injector with #3 injector and see if you repeat the problem of the dead cylinder. Clear all the codes first otherwise you will get kerfuffiled.

Re: 850 GLT automatic 1995 #3 cylinder /dead

OK! I checked the continuity on not only #3 injector but just about any combination of injectors that you can think of.
Results: ALL the grey wires have good continuity, none, absolutely none, of the of the Green wires have any continuity with any other green wire. Does this tell you anything? And ...
