Since I have yet to see any mention of which engine you have, I'll just give some general information. If it's the 3.3L, it right on top, easy to get at; located at the right-rear (looking from front) of the fuel rail. The 3.5L requires removal of the intake plenum, plus injector electrical connectors, fuel rail bolts and the injector clamp. This regulator is located on the left-rear of the fuel rail. |

I think his battery is spinning the engine - the engine is not firing (supposedly due to lack of fuel).

I forget what the LeBaron GTS coupe chassis was called, but it was really just a modified "K" platform. The bigger 4-door K-derivative platform was called the "AA" body and included the 4-door LeBaron, the Acclaim, and the Spirit. Really, there were only two front-drive platforms between 1978 and 1993- the K-based ones (a boatload of variations with different designations), and the Omni/Horizon. Then the LH platform came along, then the JA plaform (Cirrus/Stratus/Breeze/Sebring), then the Neon, PT, etc. and finally the whole front-drive nightmare ended with the LX platform (300/Magnum/Charger). Prior to the front-drive mess, there was the "A" platform (Lancer, Valiant, Dart, and 64-69 Barracuda), the "B" platform (Coronet, Charger, Satellite, Belvedere, Roadrunner, Superbee, 75-78 Cordoba, small Fury, and other variations), the "C" platform (Fury, Monaco, Polara, Newport, Chrysler 300, New Yorker), "D" platform (Imperial), "E"= Challenger and 70-74 Barracuda, "F"=Aspen/Volare, "R" = St Regis, late 70s Newport, "J" = early 80s 2-door Cordoba based on the "F" body, and "M" body (Diplomat, Gran Fury, 4-door rear-drive LeBaron). |

The bigger 4-door K-derivative platform was called the "AA" > body and included the 4-door LeBaron, the Acclaim, and the Spirit. The Le'Baron GTS was a 5 dr hatch back. I had one. I'm sure it was the H body. It is, see he http://www.allpar.com/model/lancer.html Although it was derived from the K car, I can assure you the handling was much better. The K car was given a traditional NA understeer design so NA drivers would take the change to FWD easier. I hated it after a few rentals, but I liked the Le'Baron handling. It was much more direct and crisp, a European feel which I was used to after several European cars. The body construction was also much more rigid than the K car. I drove my '86 GTS for 10 yrs, moving to the '95 Concord. |

I was thinking of the curvy Lebaron GTC. We nearly bought in late 1992 instead waiting and buying my wife's 93 LH in March of 93, and I'm glad we didn't! > Although it was derived from the K car, I can assure you the handling > was much better. Thats true of the very last Relaint/Aires too- the K platform got a lot of upgrades during its run. But those *ALL* were really just Ks, with tons of shared parts. A quick look at a Hollander's interchange manual tells the tale. |
