Corrected factory backward AC fan polarity and added one can of R134a. Compressor is silent now and cabin gets cold at idle.
I've run into this before. Anybody else noticed AC fan is a puller mounted on the front of the condenser on 90-91 models? Just moves hot air around in a circle. Both fans should work more effeciently now.1990 Protege 4WD

My gray car was the same way. Early examples seem to have a different bulkier AC fan than the later ones. And both of mine have been wired backwards. I don't know.Last edited by me109; 06-20-2021, 04:35 PM.1990 Protege 4WD

We'll see. I got the asphalt rally ones. Maybe the inverted monotubes are better. I'll post updates here.1990 Protege 4WD

Found a shockingly clean 94 EGT in my local Pull-A-Part. Took its seats and door cards. Got the seats installed last night.
It's automatic, but still has a fairly complete looking BP in it. In eastern Tennessee.
Couple cars down was an 01 ZX-2 that looked to be in great condition. I took its front lower tie bar, and didn't see anything else missing... I think both cars even still had all their wheels.1990 Protege 4WD

Changed an axle. That resulted in a gear oil leak, so I pulled it out and changed the seal. That resulted in a much worse leak. Went from dripping to pouring.
So I'm in the market for a Kia G-series as soon as I can get one.
Edit:
So I think I solved it. The seal is probably good and fine, but the axle popped out of the diff. It still gets driven, but all the oil pisses out real quick. Stupid circlip retainer. Either they weld themselves in forever, or they don't work at all...1990 Protege 4WD
