Hi Everyone!
I've been following the board for a while and decided it just might be time to post. We had a 85 505 SR that was given to my mum and when I get a chance, I look after it when it comes back down home. It's always been a great car (indestructable) but recently it hasn't been going too well. So, while it's here I thought I'd ask a few questions.
She had the starter motor replaced on it and ever since then, it hasn't been running right. It seems to splutter along and hesitates a lot. I've recently changed the spark plugs and leads, cleaned the air filter and am about to replace the distributor cap and rotor. However, there are some hoses leading to nowhere??? I have placed some pictures of the engine with the things circled. The first one shows the little round thing that has one hose missing, the other shows a hose going nowhere (the hose attaches to a T piece). Could there be something with the hoses?? Can anyone think of anything else that could be wrong?
Below, I also have some pictures of the motor just for people to have a look at (I keep one in my wallet too )
