Got the engine running after a bit of work and a little cash, not to bad considering when I bougth the car I didn't count on the engine being any good. Only cruised around the block but it sure was fun and I was very surprised at the power even with the 1.7, engine seems strong.

I had to unplug the intake air temperature sensor I think it is refered to as temperature sensor 1. It was surging at idle but with it unplugged it idled ok. Still has some hesitation at start off but once the RPMs get up its great. Just some fine tuning.

Now it's on to the breaks. Took the pedal cluster out and going to replace the bushings, brake pedal is not springing back. Brakes were pretty mushy to so I think I will go through the whole system.

Edited because I can't spell
