FS: CLEAN 94 850 Turbo (B5234T) with tons of new parts

I think the easiest way to do this is to post the Craigslist link. It is a late 94 model, in which the factory installed the 95 high pressure turbo engine and OBDII diagnostics as well as the engine bay OBDI set up.

The car is in Northern California ...

Re: rough idle after head gasket job

SOLVED! I cleaned the IAC with carb cleaner and tested the resistance between the pins and everything looked fine. I IAC was not gunked and moved freely, so I didn't expect much. I installed the IAC and fired the beast up...no change. I decided to run over the vacuum lines since I was getting an ...

Re: rough idle after head gasket job

I used the same plugs and wires. Plugs were standard bosch oem replacements from IPD. The cap and rotor were replaced not too long ago as well. I guess it could be the coil, but I think that would effect the performanceover the entire rmp range. I pulled the cables on the battery to do an ecm reset ...

Re: rough idle after head gasket job

I checked all the vacuum lines and sprayed everything with starting fluid and no change. I have been seeing posts on the forum about crank position sensors, but I can't see how mine would work fine before the head gasket work and not after. I would actually say that the idle is not so much rough as ...

rough idle after head gasket job *SOLVED*

Hello everyone,
So after 2 months I finally finished the head gasket job on my 94 850 turbo. I fired it up last night and it all went smooth aside from all the smoke from the cleaning agents. That all wore off, bit the idle is still rough/lumpy
The car has great power (not pushing it to hard until ...

Re: I spent over $3K on suspension work/RF wheel still knock

I had the exact same problem and ended up replacing the springs, struts, sway bar and links, and tie rods in an attempt to get rid of the clunking sounds. When I pulled the struts apart I checked the strut mount visually and tried to twist the bearing and everything looked ok. I put all the new ...

Piston Rod Cap Torque Spec

Anyone know what the torque spec is for the piston rod cap on an 94 850 turbo. I can't seem to find it anywhere in the manual or om MVS. Thanks
