    Cruise Control Doesn't Engage

    Well, to sum it one and give one last "bump": Mechanical checks: Vacuum pump - OK Actuator - OK Vacuum Switch - OK Clutch button - OK Brake button - OK Electric checks (Measured at CCS Computer connector): Stop Fuse - OK Stop Light Switch - OK Release Valve/Stop Light switch - OK Control Valve...

    Cruise Control Doesn't Engage

    Speedometer is solid as a rock at speed, and I have seen wobbly speedometers that do allow the cruise control to continue working - although not quite as accurately as it should. It isn't being killed, it just isn't engaging. I'd like to see what results others get from running "Type A" codes...

    Cruise Control Doesn't Engage

    So, sort of back to square one then... Thinking out loud: There should be an EFI code 42 if there were something wrong with the speed sensor signal, just checked again for kicks and there are no codes present.

    Cruise Control Doesn't Engage

    Well, weirdly, the clutch switch was completely unplugged... still no CC though. I'm certainly no pro at reading the EWD, so I can't really tell if the Tail Lamp Failure box anything to do with it. All I can really say is that things you would never expect to be related, are, when it comes to...

    Nope, no brake light either.

    Cruise Control Doesn't Engage

    I can't be sure of the exact timeline, but I can definitely say it was intermittent before I bypassed it. I have been driving so little now, I can't be sure when it completely stopped working.

    Cruise Control Doesn't Engage

    Hey everyone, having a bit of an issue with my CC working, and I'm hoping to get it working before I have to drive a ~1200 mile trip next week! :) Problem: Push Cruise Main, and the indicator comes up on the dash like normal, and you can hear the relay activating. However, the set/coast...

    86.5 Oil pressure gauge

    Ha! What a coincidence!

    Low oil pressure?

    So... where did this car's cluster come from? LOL My stock oil pressure gauge is slow as molasses, and it might be accurate but it's so hard to tell because the scale is all over the map. Mk3runner - You can post all the links you like, I'll never recommend it. ;)

    popped my turbos coolant hose

    The system will purge itself of any air bubble the 1st time you drive the car unless there is a leak somewhere.

    Low oil pressure?

    Which USA cars had kg/cm stock OP gauges? I've never been a fan of that 1 qt overfill stuff, it's just a pathetic band-aid for people too inept to check their oil on a regular basis.

    coolant pushed out

    So... you just think that ANY mechanical problem with a 7M means a BHG? Sure does seem like it. Your foolish decision to let the RTV dry before you bolted the head down will result in an oil leak from that area I really doubt it will do anything else. Get a block tester from AutoZone (or...

    Coolant system flush

    Pretty safe bet to just follow jj's lead on that one.

    coolant pushed out

    So, you did all that expensive work without 1st checking the radiator cap? Is that correct? If you fill the overflow to the full line, the car should never push any coolant out of the tank unless the temp is catastrophically high.

    Oil leaking issue.

    It's best just to ignore those bozos on SF. You'll be happy you bought the right gasket. ;)

    Coolant system flush

    The oxalic acid will definitely do the trick - it's really impressive to watch it work! I think the container I got was ~$10, the sodium carbonate was less than that; and you'll have enough of both to do every car you'll ever own for your entire life... plus all your buddy's. LOL Just make sure...
