check for vacuum leaks. all the intercooler hoses and vacuum hoses! leaks can cause all kinds of problems

I have not heard of that mod Shaeff. What size do you drill it out too?

no its definitely 10x1.25 as i just had a time with mine. And Chevy is right, you will most likely have to helicoil the holes as they will probably strip out when you bring them up to torque. Go ahead and call around locally before you take the header off and see who carries the helicoil kit...

Thats what im hoping now Victim. When I bought this car it has a tire on the driver side that the outside edge is wore out, so Im thinking the alignment is offfff. Also the car has been sitting for a while and Ive only driven it 20 miles or so since i got it running and the pads still havent...

welll I just checked both my bump caps which are in place, and my struts both are tight. Back to the drawing board

hmmm sounds like an info forum to meeeee

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I will look into all these things. I wouldnt think it would be the bump stop cap mentioned cause when the thumping sounds is made im not turning hard or sharp. Going down the road and just swerving from side to side like warming up your tire type of swerve...

I thought ball joints too, but shouldnt there be excessive play in the wheels when off the ground. I tried to move mine out on both sides and they didnt seem to want to move at all. not sure. Also mine is not a pop noise. Its like a thumping kinda noise that is slower or faster depending on...

I currently have the konis with eibach springs and am happy with both. A little more bounce then I would like but a great improvement over stock. I have read numerous complaints about the Tokicos as they are great at first but within like a couple of months go totally soft. I personally dont...

Well I tried a search and came up with nothing so If im duplicating a thread then I apologize in advance. Im having front end suspension noise and Im not for positive what it is. It happens when your are turning right or left but is louder when you turn right or put the weight of the car on...

I agree with Silva as the most important thing to do is flush the coolant every two years or say 30,000 miles. Dont trust the high endurance stuff and hold off on the flush as I think this will cause problems down the road. Im also reading quite frequently as well that its always best to use...

I dont how true it is guys, but I have seen alot of members on here prefer the red Toyota coolant. I have a GMC Yukon and have researched the Dexcool controversy and am still not sure that it is the coolant itself that it causing all these problems. But when in question, its always safe to...

you might not see any leaks under the car but check your inside floor board. That is where mine leaked. Right under the clutch pedal down the firewall. Real nice on the carpet too.

yeah I agree with pynk as it might be an offset problem. I wish I knew what mine was so I could tell ya. It could also be that you have too much sidewall or the middle of the 3 numbers as well. Is your tire too tall? Also looks like the Hr springs lower the front end more. If my car was even...

does anyone have the same experience as CK with his beemer? I have heard that synthetic can cause more rear end noise that regular fluid. I read somewhere that Reg recommend Ford fluid for the rear end as he noticed the least noise with it. What do you guys think?

I have 18,s on mine with Eibach springs and no issues

SM mk3forme aim onevet4me

thanks dawg, I'll try that

Actually I took it down the street yesterday and had not codes. But I havent checked the timing after it warmed up to see what it was at. I know when I checked it before I drove it that there was no difference in the timing between jumping the leads and not. It didnt advance like the tsrm...

Well just call me stupid but my problem was not the CPS but a vacuum leak instead. I have a hose that is cracked and I did not make sure I had everything hooked up securely in between all the times I took out the CPS. Also my revving up problem is gone too. I havent checked though to see if...
