lol, it sounds like a flat four in first and second gear. I'll run out and check the plugs and get back to you guys.

Hello everyone, I own an 81 210 completely stock except for replacement OEM parts. Just last night I was driving home and started having some issues. after seeing a police officer on the freeway and not having registration or insurance on it yet, I pinned it. :rofl: I jumped off at the next exit and the car died while turning onto the street. I got it to start back up, however when I started it and got going again, it was lagging in power and sounded like an Subaru STI. :confused: I was searching the site quite a bit and cant seem to find anything that's close to the problem I'm having. if you guys have any helpful information on where I should start, please let me know. I'm starting a compression test today and other stupid little things to make sure its nothing serious. Also if anybody has an a15 block or complete motor for sale in good condition I'm very interested. :thumbup: Thanks All!!

what a pain in the ass... closest water pump to me is about 500 miles away -_-

Awesome, ill take a look at all these and keep you guys posted. I'm almost positive it was steaming from from the antifreeze dropping on the mani. But that doesn't explain the hesitation that its giving me now. i would think even without the water pump and alternator it shouldn't run any different since its 6 degrees here... Thanks everyone!!

no actually i got a significant increase in power and a more sporty exhaust sound since the fan isnt running :P

it smells... but i cant tell if its smoke because its so damn cold and snowy here.

oil looked fine. no milkiness... probably shouldve stated that in the original post :P ill check the plugs on my lunch if i can find some tools and hopefully find a comp tester. my main concern was that it was spraying antifreeze out of that water pump when i pulled over to check it.

Im up in Laramie Wyoming, I bought my 210 up here and ive seen a couple others rolling around. ill snap some pics next time i run to the store :p

Hello everyone, I recently purchased a 1981 210 hatchback.. got it in really good condition with only 86k original miles. The other day I took it up to the mountains to go for a little drive, got back down from the mountain and started seeing smoke -.- popped the hood and found that the fan/alt belt had snapped and my water pump went out. I found a water pump near my location and im getting ready to put it in. Just need a little helpful information if you dont mind. :confused: Is it a possibility that the head gasket blew from overheating? It sounds like it has a misfire at the moment and hesitates when I get on the throttle. I had this issue with my 240sx and it was a blown o-ring. However, i know that these symptoms can come from multiple different issues.. Any info would help! (if someone comments to "go look" you will be ignored.. Ive been sitting at school for the past 3 days on the computer trying to find some info.)
