Sick Grand National, Need Help!

[TXTURBO_13]

I've been having engine problems with our '87 Grand National this week. I say we, because it's not mine yet. My grandma owns it and will be passing the car onto me in about a year. Anyways, the car has not been a daily driver since the mid 90's and rarely and unfortunetly only gets driven a few times a year when I'm visiting. I have it at school with me for the week and it has started to run very hesitant/rich and keeps losing power. The spark plugs are black as can be from the car running so rich, so those are being replaced. The roll pin from the throttle position sensor was bent and then broke off at touch so thats been replaced. But I noticed there are a few missing vaccum hoses and need to know where to run new ones. I have pictures to post but I'm not quite sure how to, let me know. Thanks guys

Nice deal on the car!

For now, tell us what is missing a vacuum hose. Anything on the vacuum block? See if you can see if the D/S header is cracked. Unfortunately, the gnttype site is down, you should do a spring cleaning, fuel filter, plugs etc.

Get a Ac Delco O2 sensor: AFS-22.... probably the original is still on the car.

In another post, someone entered an addy for the gnttype.org pages. Here it is: Find the Spring Cleaning page, and that should get you started. Also, I think there are diagrams showing vacuum routing. Good Luck.
