So, as I got my car, it has a lot of problems.
Long story short, before it was left to rust in our home for a year and half, it went through a big fix. "The best mechanic" in the workshop where we went plugged the wires wrong, which caused a lot of new problems. Why we went there? Anti-freeze blew out from the block... Did all the work needed to fix it BUT, no enginewash or anything. And the workshop has been rated one of the best. Go figure right?
So, now I am working on the car and there are a lot of things to be done, starting with the engine light on and running unstable on idle (ICV probably, although it has been cleaned and every hose linked to it aswell). Many options have been said that intake manifolds seal or gasket is faulty or lambda probe is faulty ...
I do know that crankcase ventilation is running funny, as the hose is not attached to the block, if you do that the whole engine starts to run more unstable and it doesn't like get something and when you cancel the air intake from the hole where the hose connects, engine runs even better...
Second thing, battery runs out. I did solder the wires which run in the trunk (from 7 wires one was still in one piece). After that I started the car and I noticed that speedoblock did lose connection from time to time, every dial just went to zero and then back. Today, battery had ran out again...
Maybe I have a faulty connection somewhere else as the hazard lights switch is broken, when it is in a certain position side indicators don't work and when you touch the hazard light button you can hear some sizzle and then indicators work.
Sorry for the long text and probably really wrong English (not my mother language) but if anybody can give some good tips I would be really thankful! Cheers!
