    So I just got back from my shop and ran my car through a nice diagnostic.

    Learning that:

    Fuel Pump seems to be holding pressure. (But when it gets hot. I get this whining noise coming from the drunk and my car dies like if it isn't getting fuel. So if anyone has any suggestions lemme know).

    Throttle Control Valve is bad.

    And I have a crucial oil leak coming from the front seal, or silent shaft.

    SO basically... ALL cosmetic stuff has been put on hold and im just going to take care of this engine. Im most likely about to just ride this out (Not fix anything) And just save up the money for this swap. I dont know what I should go with though. x.x

    Any ideas?

    if its goes long enough to save up for a GE swap then do it! :) thats what i would do. its going out anyways right? way not upgrade it. but then you'd have to get everything for that motor. freakin California regulations. then go and state ref the car to make it legal. or just wing it, swap it and do nothing about it XD

    luckily you have a shop though unlike some of us here...

    I think that's a typo guys,
    That pump is overheating or the bearings are shot

    Did you attach a pressure gauge to the rail as per the Haynes manual?
    How do you know the pressure is constant?

    Lol..nooooo..there isn't a drunk in the car.

    ANYWAYS..Update.. No pics.

    Turns out. My ICV isn't going out. And I replaced the fuel pump(Which now it is running fine with no problems btw). It was over heating and failing because when I tested it. It held pressure no problem..Just until I drove it abit.

    I also checked the oil. And its still full..So I took a closer look. And its leaking power steering fluid.. YAY!

    I should have checked that before. But im happy now.. No oil leak..

    So im going to work on the body some more :p

    leaking power steering fluid is very common, and not too hard a fix, sounds like its coming together.

    I'm also getting a small power steering leak in my ST, nothing much to worry about tho, the pain of the whole thing is you might need to swap over the rack soon. Luckily I have a spare, but the pain is it is a bitch to get out. Nice find tho, hope the celi gives you many happy driving experiences!!
