w00t w00t Finally got my new transmission in, as a amateur mechanic it took a while, also I didn't have the time before to spend on it, car drives awesomely, but not so much runs awesomely.
I bought a brand new radiator, and the radiator fluid light still comes on, it didn't when I had the old one in, and so does the light that looks like a house (sorry I didn't get a glove box manual with mine) That's besides the point though, when I start the car I have to hit the gas and hold it a bit so it will stay running, I'm thinkin its 1 of 2 things or both, just lookin for a second opinion.
1: It had bad gas in it from sitting for a while before I bought the car and sat for another 7 months so it's about a year and a half of sittin with that gas, that and something to do with the pressure in the gas lines.
2: One of my cam gears wobbles maybe an 1/8th of an inch or less while running, it also makes a loud vibrating sound when in idle, and its making my timing belt sway, but not to the point where it comes off.
When I put the new transmission I had a mechanic of 40 years kinda direct me after I gave up on it for a while, he said it has awesome compression, so I don't think the valves have any play in the vibrating noise, and I'm hoping it's not a crankshaft itself making the cam gear wobble.
