Dealing with this issue for more than three months, when it began after allowing the fuel tank to get below empty. Have used Techron and B-12 on different tank fills thinking it may be an injector contamination issue. The skip ONLY begins after shutting down the engine in a hot or warm mode and...

Could a exhaust header flange leak, cause enough heat soak to cause the 02 sensor to cause the ECU to cause the engine to miss fire or starve the injectors. Or could this also cause the code25 to pop up after long driving or hard engine driving?

Installed a loaner tri-coil pack yesterday. Thanks Tyler for allowing me to use the coil pack. The cold engine started with no skip. I drove the car hard for about an hour and the engine seemed to be building good power. On return to the garage, I noticed a slight pop at idle. I turned the...

Just spent the better part of this afternoon with the garage queen trying to sort out the fail safe issues. Installed the ignitor Edwin provided. Thanks Edwin....

Thanks for the rapid reply.... I notice that the pump has an inspection plate next to the spare tire. Is it possible to remove the pump through this hole? Or is it necessary to remove the fuel tank?

After restoration of engine, exhaust manifold gasket, vacuum hose, timing belt and numerous other redo's and refurbishing, we mated the newly rebuilt 4 speed automatic and reinstalled in the car. We were amazed that the engine started instantly after being out for over a year. I had drained the...

HI, The car has been garaged since 06 with a bad A340E automatic transmission. Original owner is a friend who purchased it new and kept it garaged. It has 116,000 miles. I have been reading the forums here and learned a lot already. I am hoping to get some solid advice on the questions I...
