I would like to make a list for others searching and troubleshooting and maybe i can run into a new idea as well.. add to mine or tell me i'm wrong (since i'm a bit of a newbie some is speculation) and i'll edit it for the final list for SOHC 4's:
Cylinder lean / hot:
Blocked passages/jets in carb restricting fuel flow. Diagnosis/FIX: rebuild/ clean carbFaulty spark plug/ too little resistance. Diagnosis/Fix: replace plugLow vacuum from leaky intake boot. Diagnosis: spray WD-40 around boot and listen for engine change. Fix: determine if boot is faulty/cracked or band is not tight enoughLeaky exhaust flange/ oring. Diagnosis: hold hand near/ around flange and feel for exhaust leaks. Fix: re-seat header, replaces oring and flange and/or exhaust headerLeaky Intake manifold O-ring. Diagnosis/Fix: replace oringsThis one i'm not sure about until someone posts about it, as I just read someone post about it earlier today--
Carb bowl vent tubes unequal length/ flapping in wind Diagnosis/Fix: replace tubes, reroute tubes to proper locations (please fill in proper locations preferably with picture)Ok so thats all i have so far, please do help reword my pseudo-wiki and post what you would like added or changed. Hopefully this will help someone in the future and maybe even me.
