    323 question

    I have a 1990 323 1.8L DOHC, the DOHC was just installed. However now I have a, the temp guage doesn't work and the car can't idle without stalling. There is also way too much gas being injected.

    check the idle set screw, might be turned down to too low of an RPM setting.???

    Temp gauge might be a bad sensor or something bad in the cluster. You swapped in an LX cluster for the tach right? if not do that and see if it fixes the temp probelm. Is so then you killed two birds one stone, (temp and tach). If not then you still got a tach and you know its the temp. sensor.

    too much gas might be an O2 sensor problem.

    Other than that, anyone elses guess is as good as mine.
    The T3 BP MX-3 conversion has begun, and is taking forever & will kill me.

      the cluster will have nothing to do with your idle. the cluster has nothing to do with the ECU.

      ok have someone check the timming on the car. O2 sensor or coolant temp sensor might be the cause for the running rich. also look for holes in the intake.
      When you turn your car on... does it return the favor?

      So his engine he goosed
      With much too much boost,
      And drove a rod through his block.

        Looks like the o2 sensor i don't think its suppose to be bent at 90 degrees looks like we bent it installing the engine.
