Hey all I picked up a 91 n/t auto 2.0 a couple weeks ago. I'm currently trying to get all the minor things fixed and I have some questions about them. The coolant boils but the car doesn't show it's over heating. I haven't hooked up my logger to it yet but will soon. That's not that big a deal I hope. I was going to try radiator cap and tstat first. I'll flush the system when I pull the motor to rebuild the transmission. My cruise control isn't working and I'd like to fix that. The switch on indicator works AND when you push the button to engage the cruise the green light comes on but it doesn't even attempt to hold speed. I briefly looked over the cruise system and noticed the vac line from the box thing? by the strut tower to the
other box thing(forgive me idk what they are actually called) by the back side of the im was not attached. So I thought ha there's the problem. I had to cut the end off the hose as it was hard as a rock and I reattached it but that didn't fix it. I'm going to try to replace it with a new hose but any other suggestions? One problem with thy and another problem also is the throttle cable is to loose IMO. I did tighten it up and throttle response was ALOT better AND when I put it to the floor it would actually drop a gear and take off as before I tightened it it would not. I had to loosen it back up because after a couple days of driving it the cable was holding the idle at 1400ish. Could there be something wrong with the cable system? I'm going to eventually do the turbo swap omit and had a question about that. I'm going to install a 190 in it and was wondering if I could just go ahead and install a stock turbo fpr and run that until I switch over to the ecu and 450's or bigger and wire in the injector pack. Not running the turbo until the ecu etc is on. Also a question about the injectors, since I may go head and get some 660's if I buy the "correct" style (high impedance I think) for my n/t then would I not have to wire in the injector pack or would that mess with the turbo ecu? I searched for the answers I "think" will fix most of those problems but I'm just wanting to make sure. Thanks and sorry for the short story, Keith.
