Here's the plan now:
1 - Clean, clean, clean... clear all the debris and gunk the best I can from the top of the engine and components. Clean the mating surfaces and somehow clean the head intake ports of carbon buildup.
2 - Inspect and clean the coils. Replace any boots and springs that need it.
3 - Flush and clean the injectors, replace the o-rings.
4 - Replace the valve cover gaskets and grommets. Inspect the cam bearings for signs of wear or play.
5 - Replace the intake and associated gaskets.
6 - Replace the vacuum hoses and PCV valve, most are dried out, worn and are a failure waiting to happen.
7 - Clean/lube the throttle body. Lube throttle cable.
8 - inspect the pulleys, belt, tensioner, rotating components. Replace as needed.
9 - Change spark plugs
10 - Check intake and clean MAF. Replace air filter.
That gives me a hobby but I NEED to get this thing back on the road. Thoughts on what else I should do while it is all apart?
Thanks!
