    Radiator fan clutch experts needed.

    Its not instantaneous, but it will move as it cools.

    Radiator fan clutch experts needed.

    If you've got it on the bench, heat the coil with a hot air gun and see if it rotates the control shaft attached to the coil. It doesn't move a whole lot, but if you mark it with a sharpie you should see some rotation. This is just a simple test to show the shaft isn't frozen, there is still...

    water temp at 230F with the AC on, is normal?

    Correct. The stock gauge actually goes down (!!!) from 221 to 234 degF, then it shoots up fast hitting 100% on the scale at 248 degF. It basically useless for measuring temperature, but is a good warning light for overheating...

    Fuel pressure help

    Any obstruction in the return line will cause the pressure to be too high, not too low. Your problem must be elsewhere.

    Before You Buy An Accordian Hose!!!

    Prices from Champion website: 17882-42H00 $89.07 (for 08/1986 - 08/1987) 17882-42012 $37.95 (for 09/1987 - 05/1993) As far as I can tell the cheaper one works for all years. There are other examples like this. For example, the rear shock dust covers are half price for the 91-92 model...

    My Very Own "Blue Smoke at Start Up" Thread

    I replaced my valve seals 18 months ago and my puff of smoke at startup went away completely. Also, my oil consumption went from >1qt/1000 to <1qt/5000 miles (half of which was probably leaking on to the ground before the rebuild with all my old seals leaking like sieves!). I used Mobil 1 5w-30...

    Whats the Flow difference on the turbo / NA fuel pump?

    Prior to build 08/90 there are two fuel pumps (GTE 23221-50020 and GE 23220-70170) After 08/90 it appears both use the same turbo pump.

    HID Bi-Xenon, 5000k vs Hella Halogen, Pics!

    The high beam indicator is driven through the low-beam filaments. Its a bit of a weird design, but my guess is the HID ECU is not supporting the small current through its low-beam circuit like the regular halogen filaments do when they are powered off. Best way to make it work is to replace...

    Ongoing issues with starting

    Not sure I understand exactly what you hooked up to the starter. Did you hook a ground up to the big +ve cable on the starter? It seems like maybe there is a possibility of some damage from reverse polarity, but need more info. Often the fusible links will blow if things get hooked up wrong...

    Ongoing issues with starting

    You need to get that CEL on. Its the first thing to do. You are wasting your time with the CPS unless you know for sure you've got a code 12. 1) Check the EFI fuse. 2) If okay, measure the voltage between TE1 to E1 in the diag box with the ignition on, should be 4-6V (use a digital...

    Ongoing issues with starting

    Did you confirm that your CEL comes on with the ignition? If you really have a CPS problem it should set code 12 after more than 2 seconds of cranking.

    Ongoing issues with starting

    When you turn the ignition on does the CEL come on?

    Ongoing issues with starting

    I did a quick read through, and you have fuel but no spark it would seem. If you pull the CPS and rotate it by hand with the ignition on you should see the plugs fire. If the CPS is bad it should set code 12 after cranking. Do you have code 12? How reliable is your wiring on that side...

    Need more code help..

    Does your speedo work? If the cable is broken it will set 42. When you say "Speed Control Actuator" I hope you are not referring to the cruise control servo. That has nothing to do with code 42. The speed sensor that sets 42 is under the dash driven off the speedo cable. There are no...
