Offramp,
If that is aimed at me, it's because the 87 was supposed to be a driving car, great body, etc, but have never been able to get the damned thing even to fart, let alone fire. You know, 2 combustions in a row. Nischt. Not a pop. Crank sensor? Maybe that's it!!! 29 degrees out of time, even though I have been a mechanic all my life, 60 years now, and am pretty sure I know how to time an engine's valve train. Trained as a diesel mechanic near 40 years ago, loved my Audi diesels.
In fact, the reason I bought the vehicle to begin with, an 87 5000 with a parts car to boot, for 300 bucks, was that I, "I", mind you, knew more than the owner who had given up on it. "I" could fix it in minutes, just time the valves right, then the ignition.
****, 2 years later, it's a parts car to canibalize. Has saved me a buck or a 100 in parts on the 90. Have to check to see if the rear disks are the same on the 87 5000 as on the 90 100. Need a left rotor to be cut and pads replaced.
What's a good brand of disk pads?
Cheers,
George
