The reason I say this is I got rid go my 98 Eclipse about 2 years ago, just got sick of working on them. Well now I have a 1990 Plymouth Laser 4G63 turbo, Big 16G, 255 fuel pump and it's all coming back to me as of why I got rid of the other one.
I drove is to work last Thursday, and I was having problems getting it up to the 15 psi that I wanted (found out it was my boost controller). After fixing this I got it up to 15. On my way home I start smelling oil and seeing smoke in front of my head lights. I get it home to see that the dip stick had popped up and there was oil everywhere. 2 days go by and I decided to go out and clean it all off, I needed to fix the throttle screw anyway with a new o-ring so I did that. I also put in new plugs and washed the motor. I go and start the car to now get a loud ticking coming from the head, and I mean loud. It also hesitates when you start it and now will not stay running. I pulled the plugs and they are gaped fine and they are the right ones. I was told to change the oil with some Mobile 1 and let is run for a min to see if the lifters are dry. I did this with my foot on the gas because it does not want to say running. Let it run for a little and nothing, it still ticks. It also feels like it is missing really bad. The vac will not go pass the 10 psi mark, I know it should be at like the 20 mark when your at idol, but it will not drop.
So this is what I have come up with. It is either 1. timing jumped, 2. head is shot, or 3. I just have do idea!!!
If any of you guys have had this problum LMK thanks.
