Can someone confirm?? for a 7mgte (or 5mge, for that matter) Shouldn't the throttle body butterfly valve be shut tight in the idle position? I got another throttle body to clean and use as a replacement for mine and it isn't shut tight. Neither the 7mgte nor the 5mge TSRM are clear. It is...

in place of alligator clips to hold your meter lead tips to the tps leads, try placing short (1/4" or so) pieces of vacuum hose on the leads to hold your meter tips in place.

Any issues with using the generic gasket material to make my own TB to Manifold gasket?

excellent description of solenoid functioning from the wise Hoppyjim that also suggests that I have an electrical connection issue to research. Posted by: "hoppyjim" hoppy1@shaw.ca hoppyjim Mon Mar 5, 2007 1:54 am (PST) Only two solenoids control all gear shifting in "D" range. In...

finally got into it at the sylvania.com website. This reference is worthy of being a sticky. go here to select your year/model http://www.sylvania.com/ConsumerProducts/AutomotiveLighting/LampReplacementGuide/ Here are some extracts: 2/13/2007 Auto Lamp Replacement Guide - Results...

After a year of malfunction, the trans is now shifting properly more often than not. If the shift problem is solenoid related, how could the solenoid suddenly decide to start working again??? It it was bad wouldn't it stay bad?If it were an internal electrical connection problem what could...

My 88 Cress a340 auto has had what appears to be a bad #2 solenoid for a year or so. This causes the trans to jump from first to third (skipping 2nd) at low speed making it dog slow. If I manually shift to 2nd it will hold first for a little longer. I have gotten different results on 4...

Auto Trans Diagnostic Here is a great auto trans diagnostic explanation of how the tranny works. It clarified my solenoid problem on my 88 Cress A340E. http://www.autoshop101.com/forms/h16.pdf Question I have is that I can't see very well where the solenoids are in the EPC pix. I'd like to...

Starting problems again. Presumably it is from the wiring connector from the harness and/or back from there into the wire harness. I'm involved in the same non-specific wire wiggle, keyturn, wire wiggle, keyturn until it happens to start. Is there a way to test the harness wires for replacement...

What distinguishes freon based cleaner results from others?

Found CRC Mass Air Flow Sensor Cleaner next to the carb cleaner stuff at Checker. Supposed to be for cleaning MAFs, it has different ingredients than carb cleaner. I have a call in to their tech support to inquire about using it on the 7mgte Karman Vortex AFM. Some general research indicates...

Fix/replace 7mgte AFM? What is the status of dealing with a bad AFM? It's unclear from my research what the reliable and reasonable ways are to go. Some observations and questions for discussion. 1. There is no complete test to check it. The TSRM test does not tell the story. 2. Is there no...

12/1/2006 Got my CPS rewired 2 days ago. The shop soldered another used connector with good wires (from a pic-a-part) to the outside wires of the CPS. They shrink wrapped the connections, put some 1/4" flexible conduit around it and taped over that. Shop charged $30. While I might have done it...

I am interested in a buy on a reintegrated DDP with a Wide sensor bung.

just had this problem myself. The CPS wires are hard, the connector is old. At first, it would only fail to fire at first startup. I would have to jiggle the connector and the wires in a non specific way 1,2,3 times and it would start. A few weeks go by and then the car will stop running in...
