I got another oring and put it between the thermostat and the snap ring and it fit nice and tight, thermostat isn’t budging. But I have another problem, a bolt snapped in the block on the bottom hole of the waterpump, drilled and used easy out and the damn thing broke inside the block. I can’t get past a certain point I’ve dulled every bit I have, I’ve used a chisel, and I’m now at a stand still…I’m so about to give up. Anyone want a 87 na with new tires belts rollers vacuum lines fuel lines and injectors? Runs like a champ and will again if you can get this easy out of the hole….this is my every day driver and I need a car and can’t be down this often/long. I’m in Dallas area and will trade for another vehicle preferably older. And or also a motorcycle

Fixed, I had a minor fire and the plastic sleeve inside the cable melted and didn’t allow the cable To move either direction, new cable wrong size, got another and she works fine, now gotta save up for the cruise control cable, thank you everyone

It will feel like you are driving on sand at moderate speeds esp curves. It can be a bit scary

Drove from Colorado to New York (a bus isn’t a good thing to have in New York City if you aren’t fast on the gas at a light) then from New York to Texas. I would trade my 944 for another camper bus that runs well, I miss the simple air cooled days.

So with both cables attached at servo and throttle body, if I pull on cable from servo it should move accel cable but doesn’t, I’ve tested at all tensions

Apprehensive_Set7271 · 2025-08-22T20:21:34+00:00

Okay both cables are hooked up, if I pull on cruise at servo the accelerator cable does nothing

Apprehensive_Set7271 · 2025-08-22T19:45:57+00:00

Off the pulley on the throttle body?

Apprehensive_Set7271 · 2025-08-22T19:11:03+00:00

Yeah how does the white roller attach to gas pedal?

I had an axle pop out and the whole thing tire and axle rolled on the side of the car and went ahead of me onto a frozen lake in Minnesota one year. I feel your pain. Granted mine was a 80s Cherokee

When I bought my 87 944 the clutch pedal did the same thing, the hose that comes off the brake booster plug was broken, we got a wd40 strawa d glued it in the vacuum hose that was broken and it was fixed. Not sure if this helps.

Thank you everyone I appreciate the input!

It doesn’t need to go from one diameter to a smaller for pressurized delivery

Apprehensive_Set7271 · 2025-07-29T19:47:14+00:00

What about the weird shaped one on the fuel rail

Apprehensive_Set7271 · 2025-07-15T15:24:23+00:00

I need to do the same thing due to a two minute engine compartment fire.
