When the temp is warm outside or the car is warm, my starter won't click. But as soon as the temp drops outside to about 70-ish degrees or cooler the damn thing works perfect. WTF?!?!? Now I have a MT car so there isn't a relay, could it be the solinoid on the starter going bad and acting up...

I'm really being convinced by Many people that the clutch fan is the way to go. Those suckas are so loud, but staying cool is more important.. So I might have to find a stock clutch fan

have an aluminum radiator with my 7mgte setup. My electric fans are shit. 10 min @ idle she heats up, and please don't have me stuck in traffic after driving on the highway. So are there any reccomendations for a great electrical fans? Aftermarket or another oem. I've read the stories about the...

But I'm going to check the ground points & see what happends

The car will go "click, click, click" then go vroooom. Sometimes that click will happen for 30sec- 2 min. But eventually it would start or I would just pop tge clutch & be on my way

I have a 87 7mgte & seem to have a starter issue. It's the 2nd starter I've put in the car and when I turn the key to start the engine , it seems to turn over whn it wants to. Sometimes instantly & others times it takes 30sec, 2min etc etc.. Anybody else experience this problem?

Jackpot! It was a damn corroded fuse in the car. Car is running good. The cel works how it's supposed to. When I jump the diagonatic box the CEL flashes constantly without pause. I can't find the codes anywhere. Can someone shoot them 4 me. Thanks guys!

So, Here is the update. When I jump The car with the paper clip & start it, everything runs fine. CEL comes on & Car runs exactly how it's supposed to. But as soon as the paperclip is pulled out it's back to running rich with a fluttering idle. What's could possibly be the problem?

Guys, thanks alot. I'm gonna adress this problem after work tomorrow. I'll keep you updated.

I actually thought you were being funny but as I researched what u said I now know you were dead serious. Can you please explain to me how I can actually do theis and recieve codes for my car. Since I Have just Learned our cars are pre-obd

Is the 87 a obd0 or obd1 system?

It revs fine with the maf sensor unplugged. There is also a vacume leak that I'm trying to find. Problems, 1. Running very rich 2. Vacume leak or bad vacume set up. 3. Car runs with maf & icv unplugged 4. No check engine light on w/ key turn or problems

I'm Gonna change the comp cause it's getting power but nothing seems to be coming out. Especially if the car still runs with the maf & icv unplugged at the same time

I changed the maf and it's still the same problem. I don't know how it still runs. Maybe the wires are crossed some where..

So, My check engine light won't come on when the key is turned on the car. But the car turns over. What could be the problem. The computer is obviously getting power. Idk what's wrong. Plus. When I unplug the icv & the maf sensor the car stays running. Very rich. Idk what's going on.
