Hello everyone, I'm new to the DSM world my self, other than growing up around talons, i have never gotten into the engine bay my self, About 3 months ago i traded a car of mine for a 1994 Talon ESI. In plans of going turbo with a small amount of boost as a fun little car. I was told when i got the car it needed a head gasket. Well turns out, burnt valves along with the head gasket. I have went along, replaced the valves my self, all new valve guides etc.. I installed a new timing belt along with tensioners. Now i get to where i am at now. The car runs and moves under its own power, but it feels like and smells like its dumping fuel. I know their is one sensor i broke that went to the egr when i removed the head. Would that be causing the issues. As everyone i know who has a dsm has deleted the egr as i want to keep it. ( i'm in ohio no emissions ) Or could it be coolent temp sensors, the one that has the connectors like "_l." I have attached a few pictures. the car is also very hard to start. Takes about 7-10 seconds of cranking. timing is dead nuts on.
