update! Cruiser is starting and idling just fine now with a new ignition coil and the champion copper spark plugs runs great again. Smooth idle, with the only thing being left to do to drive is cleaning and bug bombing it. I still have one issue which is the belt. From what I can see and feel around, the belt that flew off is power steering, and ac. The ac doesn't work in the car and power steering isn't a necessary should I be concerned? The belt is in one piece no damage to it and tensioner doesn't seem like it's failed would it be okay to drive without that belt being on? Question is which belt dies the water pump?

 

The timing belt moves the water pump

 

so the serpentine belts don't run the water pump?

 

nope the timing belt is the one behind the plastic cover on the pass side of the engine where you see the other belts

 

okay well that actually simplify the car a lot. But i am curious if anyone has had any issue with the windows not going down when opening the door? I'm asking cause one the windows functioned fine before so I'm wondering if it's because one while the battery is connected it's not tight. I'm thinking that's the cause of the windows not working properly but it is my first cruiser and to be honest the only thing that saved it is it's got a turbo. But it's just minor things to straighten out for now but yall tell me what your thoughts on relocating the battery to the trunk to make things easier to work around. There's not a lot of room in that area for the battery and airbox. So I'm leaning towards moving the battery to the trunk area to make it easier to access and jump off if needed and to actually be able to access the battery in general. Tell me what yalls thoughts are please

...welp......got an update to that previously mentioned post. The soft rough idle is back. It's hard to hear it but it's there. Now do keep in mind that the cat is still hasn't changed so that's still a known issue for the moment. So I'm curious if that may be the issue of the idle. But I've also been told that it could be the idle air control valve. No matter the part the price of a new one it would be roughly the same. Now having those parts put in is a different story. Also someone get back to me about the battery relocation idea. Thanks
