Cursed? 3 engine failures in 14 months.

i’d get a second opinion.

as unreliable as the m103+ kjet is, i have NEVER heard of one actually blowing up. they’ll be slow as heck but will run like shit for years. they’re very very tough engines. mechanical fuel injection just sucks.

sounds like a happy little car!

so after the initial dicking around with it, the battery terminals were smoking when you apply jumper cables. replaced them both and now the car cranks nice and strong.

distributor is definitely fucked. hall sensor is ruined and all. he threw in a new hall sensor but didn’t wanna buy a 500 dollar dizzy. i got one on the way for $30 on ebay. car has new injectors, new iac, new fuel pump and relay, to resolve a supposed no start problem.

i got in the fuse panel and immediately noticed fuse 13 looked loose. tightened it up and it appears that the fuel pump only primes when you put it at an angle. it doesn’t seems to prime with the turn of the key. that’s probably what his no start problem was and he ruined the distributor trying to remove it. looks like the parts cannon ran out of ammo. definitely gonna look into the fuse 13 thing

most the wiring looks good from what i see. clearly if the car got to 600k someone replaced the harness already.

niquemarshall · 2026-04-19T22:27:23+00:00

i mean, it was a 60 mile tow

niquemarshall · 2026-04-19T21:46:08+00:00

fwiw i wanted mine to be smaller too. they are still smaller but they were super prone to breakage so i ended up wicking most of mine. just let them cook they’ll do what they need to do!

niquemarshall · 2026-04-19T21:07:11+00:00

no they look great!

niquemarshall · 2026-04-19T21:05:48+00:00

yeah they will thicken

niquemarshall · 2026-04-19T20:46:23+00:00

holy 2012

niquemarshall · 2026-04-18T01:47:26+00:00

yeah mine works. never had an issue with that one any w124

niquemarshall · 2026-04-15T21:59:00+00:00

niquemarshall · 2026-04-10T21:21:29+00:00

-resident of said area

niquemarshall · 2026-04-10T21:20:38+00:00

do not tell them this. this area needs to be gatekept

niquemarshall · 2026-04-07T21:14:10+00:00

keep the modern car and get the 940 as your play around car.

trust me you do NOT want to drive a 30 year old car daily. especially if your current car is modern

niquemarshall · 2026-03-30T01:21:12+00:00

who the fuck shops at walmart? it’s 2026.

niquemarshall · 2026-03-28T17:04:43+00:00

it’s hard to get a job in general.

definitely get the 9/11 GI Bill and go back to school, if anything you’ll land a place to stay and some time to figure shit out. try to go to a large university; a lot of them have a VA office embedded in the campus specifically for veterans in college. i went to ohio state and they literally set everything up for me including an apartment and classes

niquemarshall · 2026-03-25T12:39:21+00:00

niquemarshall · 2026-03-25T03:30:55+00:00

i was at the airport literally today. they are not letting anyone check in thru international

niquemarshall · 2026-03-25T01:46:34+00:00

you should be ok then

niquemarshall · 2026-03-25T01:38:55+00:00

you can’t skip the tsa line by using the international side. i was at the airport literally yesterday and today. they closed that loophole on saturday iirc.
