Re: respray disaster :(
i agree with KNT - get some good pics up - where are you spraying, what are the conditions like? most likely causes are not cleaning the surfaces well enough before laying primer or paint (small amounts of contamination from sanding water or sweaty hands), not allowing enough time for evaporation be...

Re: Low power and misfiring under load 2.0cu
In the end it turned out to be number three spark plug giving up the ghost. but have you established the cause of the failed plug? get a compression test taken sooner rather than later, esp. on number 3, and check your valve adjustment - if it's a new (to you) van, don't assume the hydraulic lifter...

Re: Engine cleaning?
could try soda blasting with a compressor then rinse off with a pressure washer. the soda won't damage anything, just be careful where you're spraying it if the engine is in situ, wrap up carbs, etc. first. i use it for cleaning up engine cases, cylinder heads, carbs, etc. when rebuilding. it gets e...
