Sounds like the audio output in the deck is blown. If it wasn't when you got it it is now. I really like "New but used"!

Thanks for the update... I fix a bunch of the lesser DVD models at work and was just wondering what the problem was.

Valve guide seals? If they do good work that is a fair price.

Not much harm will be done in a few days. You should only use distilled water in your cooling system(along with coolant!). Distilled water is also the only thing you should use to top up your battery, unless it's sealed.

There should be a cold start troubleshooting guide in the manual. There is a temp sensor, and a cold start timer along with the injector that needs to be tested.

I got mine from my frendly neighborhood Snap-On man... I can post the number when I get home if you promise not to faint from sticker shock.

The level sensor is in the overflow tank. You know, the white plastic bottle in front of the Rad. When it is less then about 1/4 full the light will start blinking, it's got to be almost empty to give a steady light.

Yes a thicker HG will lower the compression ratio... If you look at the numbers above you'll see that 1mm thicker only changes it a little though. I'd really only consider a thicker HG if both the head and block have been milled more than a few thousands.

The radiator tanks are plastic! That means the ends of the radiator, which is where the hoses connect. Plastic tanks work fine, but when a car is overheated the plastic becomes brittle. A good radiator shop should be able to clean your core and replace the damaged plastic tanks. I think I...

Quick and dirty. Set number one to TDC. Timing mark to 0. with the rotor on it should point to 1 on the cap. You'll either be close or 180 out. I saw this on this board complete with pix in the last few days of looking around. Sorry, I don't remember exactly where.

Just fixed this on my car. Check for codes. check the TPS.

As far as I know it's just extra. I found it maybe a dozen years ago. Lucky would be a blown EFI fuse. ? So how tall are you...? I'm only 6'8"...

Is one better than the other? The prices are within a couple of bucks so is one better? Thanks in advance.

Get one really good battery before adding anything else. Big wire from your alt to the battery will help a little as well. Using the right size power wire for the amp(s) power is another very common problem. Make sure the amps have a great ground too.

Mines been my DD since I got her. That was 1990! 170 thou added to the clock. Before that I had a... Supra! I've only owned Supra's for almost 20 years now.
