Two parts --

My '85 Ford Bronco II (2.8L V6, 4WD, carb, manual) starts, idles, and runs fine when the engine is dead cold, or when the engine is fully warm (temp above the 1/3 mark). But when the engine has warmed enough for the needle to come off the bottom but hasn't yet crossed into the normal range, it won't idle or run worth a darn -- it acts like it is only firing on one cylinder and smells like the mixture is extremely rich.

This is a minor problem normally, but in really cold weather it just becomes a complete dog. I can rig it by slapping a cardboard panel across the radiator -- the engine heats all the way up and it works fine.

But I'd really like to know what is HAPPENING to it? This is the 2nd carb that has done this, so I think it must be from the EEC-IV somewhere, maybe a bad sensor?

2nd question: Anyone ever put a 1990's Mazda MPV 2.8L V6 and tranny into a mid-80's Bronco II (my '95 MPV with 165K always runs sweet)? Any advice if so?

Like: what year TDI's was it on, would you reccomend I buy one, or previous or current TDI instead? And, where can you get the special REQUIRED oil (505.01) besides a VW dealer?

I can't get them to fold down, is there some kind of trick to them or a lever? I looked everywhere... so i am guessing there was some sort of lever that may have broke off, but i have no idea.

Ok, well I am trying to find out the absolute cheapest way to go from State College, PA to Lynchburg, VA. Buses and trains are obsurd as well as airline tickets. Then it dawned on me...why not use a rental car? I check prices and they are as cheap as $17/day and I only need it for the weekend. But then arose another dilema...I swore I remembered hearing from somewhere that rental cars can only be taken so many places and not out of state but I am not sure.

I really hope someone knows the answer!

P.S.- If they cant be taken out of state then would anyone happen to know how I could make a round trip under $200?

Thanks!

I took my car to my mechanic, and he changed the gas cap. Light came on 2 additional times and he attempted to reset it, but it was still on. Finally broken down and took it to the Nissan Dealer. They informed me that it was the emissions canister and that carbon was seeping in. They replaced the canister, caps, and valves for the canaister. The next day, the light came back on, went through this process 3 times now with the Nissan Dealer, and two times with my personal mechanic, (total 5 x's). I am feeling pretty pissed off now, picked up the car this morning from the Nissan Dealer, and guess what.....the light came on again before, I got home. The problem is, I need to get a smog check on my car, to complete the current registration, and I have paid the Nissan Dealer $500.00, any suggestions on what to do?

If two cars are identical except that one is certified to meet the more stringent California ULEV II emission standards and the other is only certified to meet the Federal standards, will the ULEV II certified car have identical mileage and performance to the Federal certifed car, or will it suffer in some way, such as by getting worse mileage, poorer performance, etc.? Thanks for your help.

Ok someone correct me if I am wrong. I assume that this is the way brakes are made up....you have the pads, which are cheap....and 'underneath" them you have the rotors, calipers, etc. Why not just frequently replace your brake PADS, that way they would never grind down far enough to where you would have to replace the more expensive componants of your brakes. As in, replace your pads every 6 months.......before they grind away and into the major components of your brakes. This would save everyone a lot of money correct?

I have seen several old diesel cars that run on fry oil; there are restaraunts in my town that give away oil for that specific purpose.
All I need is the filtration process and/or any modifications that need to be made to the car.
