Guest DougK Posted December 28, 2004 Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 Hey bud, let me try to sum it up as best as I can:1. Do a compression check, it'll tell you if you have a REAL problem. Odds are, bad plug wire, bad cap/rotor, bad plug ect.2. Things to look out for: a. Check the engine bays wiring, they are either bad or been replaced... ussualy the first. b. Look for rustc. Look for lots of oil leaks, oil in the intercooler plumbing ect ect3. The exhaust manifold bolt, pretty straight forward. Its common. Im sure you have the skills to do what you need to do to get it fixed.4. Manual? I'll put 10 bucks on the OD doesn't work... also not a huge issue either. 240T's weakness is wiring... engine bay and OD wiring are ussualy the cause for 99 percent of the problems. Both can be solved in a day.Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nohbudi Posted December 28, 2004 Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 4. Manual? I'll put 10 bucks on the OD doesn't work... also not a huge issue either. ←well he did say it was listed as a 4speed, which is the way you say "m46 with bad OD soleniod" if the OD itself was bad, it would make the rest of the tranny useless. also check the Relay and wiring for the OD.
