I have an 85 B2 with the 2.8L. I'm not that mechanically inclined but have a few friends that are....about 2 weeks ago i went out to check the oil and noticed white/yellowish foam on the dipstick. Did some research and was thinking it was condensation.....and went back to driving it. (it's my daily driver, I do about 30 miles a day). Today we put a new thermostat in because the temp gauge would never rise above C, would move up a few CM's but never to the middle, plus when the heater was on the air was never that warm. While doing that I checked the oil again, still have the foam and noticed that the dipstick smells like straight gas. All I really know is that this is not good. lol. I'm going to do an oil change tomorrow on it and see what that does. My gas mileage sucks, and It's not really burning fuel properly (what i was told), therefor my spark plug wires don't last etc.
I looked a few things up and from what i read it could be the fuel regulator, but then when i went to autozone and asked about that they said that the 85's don't have that. So i guess what i'm asking is, what are some things that can cause issues like this???
I can't complain too much because i paid $500 for the B2, but I already have more then that into it not counting the tires and it still runs like crap hah.
