    what is....

    oh, haha. my bad. i was in a hurry. here ya go: these are all sandwich adaptors: edit: you'd want one that relocates the filter. :) double edit: i'll look for one with a built in thermostat for ya... triple edit: here's one, but it doesnt look like it relocates the filter...

    ¿! 7 sec of craking to start when cold !?

    after an hour of the car being off, the fuel pressure has most likely dropped to 0psi anyways... the system doesnt stay pressurized all the time... and if so, only a little bit of pressure. (i've got a mechanical fuel pressure gauge, and i've checked before) chances are you have a bad...

    somethings wrong... any ideas?

    wait a minute... if it doesnt turn over, that has NOTHING to do with the AFM. thats either a grounding issue, or a starter issue, or the stock alarm system has gone haywire. if the stock alarm has decided to shit the bed, here are a couple of options: here's a little background on the...

    Taillight Warning Light ON

    did it rain recently near you? if that box gets wet, it'll illuminate the light you speak of in the dash. if it did infact get wet, then you can just take it out, and dry it out, and that *should* fix the problem. then fix the leaks that allowed it to get wet. also, i took mine apart and...

    10 minute fuel filter change the easy way

    heh, no, not quite. actually, our fuel systems use a vacuum based fuel pressure regulator. even if you're still on the stock FPR, and you increase boost think of it like this: stock base fuel pressure is 40psi with the vacuum line off. when you put the vacuum line back on, it drops about...

    somethings wrong... any ideas?

    did you clear the codes after you replaced the AFM? pull the 15A EFI fuse for a minute, then put it back in, and try starting the car again. -shaeff

    hatch leak hummmmm

    there's one more place that would put water where Nash has some. right at the bottom of the hatch glass, there's a piece of molding. if that's any bit loose, or not sealed well, water will get in the hatch. that's my next project. once i do that, i'll be 100% leak free. :) -shaeff

    7MGE Shortblock

    a little mis info here. :) i happen to like the oil squirters. my belief is that if you want higher oil pressure, get rid of the stock oil filter mount on the GTE's. it sucks, and oil cooling based on pressure is ridiculous. change that for a spin on adapter from an N/A block using a sandwich...

    wont idle, popping, sputtering

    definately not the timing. i know that for sure, because i just checked it the other day for shits and giggles. i'm betting there's a leak somewhere that i cant find for some reason... dammit! -shaeff
