I will probably just replace the starter. $50 and be done.
Modules are available for $25. Multiple issues, but it still runs. |

NOS. Still in the box. I need to go find the little socket that I bought for the last one.

That's an amazing price! Good score.

New TFI installed. Nothing changed there that I noticed yet. I just replaced the starter drive. It was $16. Problem seems to be solved. Took less than an hour.

That's wonderful! Thanks for the update, Brother Allen.

I need to fix all the oil leaks next. Front and rear seals, oil pan gasket, and valve cover all leak.

If you're gonna go to that level of effort, it would also pay to clean the pickup and pan. No sense in plugging up the pump and starving the bearings after changing all of the seals.

That is a good idea. It may be that I go as far as a rebuild. Plan to perform some tests. I think that the compression may be on the low side.

When I'm at that crossroad, I usually buy another engine and rebuild it on the stand. Once it's done, I then swap them in a weekend. That plan allows you to really take your time and shop around for parts, not to mention pay attention to all of the details.

I am casually watching for a replacement. I agree that would be the best solution. Not sure how much work it would be to swap to a newer 2.3l with the DIS ignition and roller cams. They have a bit more power.

If I was swapping to something different, I'd choose a 3.0 with a 5 speed. They're cheap, plentiful, torquey and easy on fuel. You could easily find one that does not require rebuilding.

That might be a maybe. Probably stick the original setup with the roller cam out of the newer 2.3l and maybe some larger injectors. That might wake it up alittle.
