well I just pooped to. ah no I havn't fixed the problem yet, I am going to go ahead and replace the air regulator, and do any one of you know were the vacume hose is suposed to get vacum?
also I don't think my car has that head temp sensor its a 79 canada model with no 02. my 1980 had that sensor.

If it doesnt have the head temp sensor then it will still have a water temp sensor in the thermostat housing that the ECU takes a signal from (the most likely case for an early Canadian model). It serves the same purpose as the head temp sensor, it just does it from a different, less accurate, location.
what vacuum hose are you refering to?

well I just can't figure out why it would dump soo much fuel, I mean when the car is cold aviously its going to dump a lot, seeing how the temp sensors will show high resistance. but why is it doing it to the point of flud? new tps, new afm, new cold air intake, new spark plugs, wires, and injectors, and even distributor. one new temp sensor for the dash gauge. it wouldn't make a diferance to the point of fluding I thoght if I just unpluged the temp sensors any way.

the air regulator doesnt have any vacuum lines. There is an air inlet and outlet which is where the extra air to compensate for the extra fuel comes from (high idle). There are also two coolant lines. One to supply coolant to the air regulator and another to circulate it back to the engine (or wherever). Other than that there is only an electrical connector.

uh yea on back of the air regulator tward the bulk head there is a fitting screwd into the lowere part of it that has two niples on it for vacume lines. by the way my car is one without the 02. no 02 I repeat. so where do the two vacum hoses go. if you guys still don't know what I am talking about i will have to take a picture.

ok I just tested my air regulator, and it is good. I found I had a bad conection to the head temp sensor, causing all the fluding, and put the new afm on, and now it runs good. thanx to all you z gooroo's for your suport.

well now I have it runing like a freaking bat out of hell, and I took it for a test drive, and on the way back home from the test drive, the car started to run funy, and I heard a were poping like the valves came out of adjustment, so I let off the gas, and put the car in neutral and I have the loud valve train noise on number 5 or 6 like there is too much space between the cam and rocker. damnit why now? this is no suprise though because it happend at about 5000 rpm and the valves have never been adjusted since 1979. it is defenatly time.

yea thats cool that its fixed. well I took the valve cover off, and the exaust valve for num. 4 cylender was missing the lash pad, and the lash pad was siting by number 5 valve spring. I put it back together, and am readjusting the valves tomorow. now that I know what over reving dose on a head that has too much rocker to cam clearance I won't do it again. I am thanking my lucky stars the lash pad didn't make it to the front, and get loged in the timing chain. disasterous!
