    How to Set off Factory Alarm?

    There is NOT a motion detector. The doors, hatch or hood opening without the key is about it.

    Does the A/C system have cfc's in the freon

    :fart: ^^^quote..."Further, there was this idea that CFC's were causing a hole in the ozone layer, only they ignored the fact that CFC gases are heavy, so they don't rise up into the air, they sink down, and disaapate eventually. (So how do they get up into the ozone layer miles above the...

    Universal Coolant overflow Tank Question(Pic)

    I'd say there is a tube inside the tank that goes all the way to the bottom.

    fuel pressure

    If its still the factory setup, and everything is working correctly, (as mine is) then I'd say it should hold for several hrs at least. The pump does not come on until the starter is engaged, and my car starts almost immediately, every time, no matter that it sat all night, or all day. So...

    What are these, and can I remove them?

    ^^ the dashpot is only there for emissions control. It can be removed without notice during a smog test, as most techs don't have a clue its there. Its purpose is to slow the throttle plate from closing instantly, which if it does, causes a short (but small)rise in CO% and HCs (rich...

    Oil leaking from front cam seal...

    Remove those seals, and if they appear to be still in good condition(or get new ones)...spray clean the head and cap with brake cleaner, let air dry (or use a hair dryer). Then apply a thin coating of FIPG (form in place gasket) material around the outer edge (the surface that sits in the...

    front main seal

    Sorry for the confusion. It only took me 2 hrs because I have an after market electric fan. So there is no fan or shroud in the way. That R&R will add time to the job. But after you do it once, you'll see that its easy.

    super-quick question

    Ok...here's what REALLY happens. As I stated above, try not to run often below 1/4 tank,,,because..1)..the fuel keeps the electric pump cool. We (at the shop) replace a dozen pumps per year (mostly Chevy) and many are due to the customer running it at about a 1/4 tank or less. Also..2)...

    Cold Starts like GARBAGE

    What happens is this... Carbon build up on the intake valves will act like a sponge upon startup. It soaks up some of the fuel, and causes a bit of a lean condition, until the engine runs for a few minutes, and the carbon gets saturated.:icon_bigg

    engine missing

    At the shop, we use one of those camping propane bottles, and a little valve that has a botton on it to squirt some gas, and a rubber hose. With the engine idling, we take the hose and squirt gas along the intake gaskets, and throttlebody, etc. Don't hold the botton on too long, as too much...

    Cold Starts like GARBAGE

    We are getting into FALL weather. Its not hot, nor cold. The cold start injector won't work until the engine temp gets down to like 50*. I recommend putting some Techron fuel treatment into your tank, (2 tanks full) which will help clean the injectors and valves. Either of which, if dirty...

    super-quick question

    About 3-4 gallons, of which only 1-2 will be available, because your pump won't suck it all out. Also, NEVER let your tank get below 1/4, because your pump will try to suck up some of the crap floating around in there. And, the gasoline cools the electric pump, so if the pump is exposed to...

    remove air from heater

    No, you need to raise it up higher. I raised mine till the tailpipe almost hit the ground. Air is trapped in the heater core, which is higher than the radiator cap. It took me about 1/2 hr. http://www.supras.com/06/techcenter/display.php?QID=22 :biglaugh:
