Here is the latest in my progress. I did find that the grounds on the intake were a bit played out. The holes on the eyelets were rounded out and there wasn't a whole lot of meat left on them so I replaced those. The O2 sensor checked out and there wasn't much inside the throttle body to clean out. What I did find will inspecting everything was not good. Apparently, the rubber mushroom gasket on the top of the water pump has been compromised. It wasn't leaking often or very much but occasionally it looks like it was belching fluid. I don't know if antifreeze is corrosive but the poly bushing in the alternator adjustment bracket was shot. The poly was all cracked and gooey. Those are my scientific observations. Also, even though I had poly bushings in the alternator bracket as well, the back hole of the alternator ovaled out and the long bolt that mounts it is worn thin were it goes through that hole. I suspect that the screw was the culprit so I will replace that with a grade 8 if I can find one round here. This is my bosh alternator purchased last year so I'm not to thrilled with that finding. This caused the alternator to have a slight kick to it and for one belt to be grabbing more than the other. So, I have everything apart and today will be installing new water pump, timing belt, thermostat, spark plugs and wires, and all new fuses. I'm going to look into drilling out that hole in the alternator and putting a sleeve in. Just really worried about the quality of that metal. I'm hoping that when all this is done the original problem of weird idle and start will disappear.
