    Put a ceramic coat on it and that will change!

    8 cranks to start when 1/2 warm: fact of life?

    Pull ECU codes. Next time it does it, wiggle the CPS wires while a helper cranks. To test what Zum said, pull the vac line off the FPR and crank...the VSV opens to atmosphere to increase FP for a hot start.

    Ceramic Coating 7M Crank

    Dry film on the journals is fine...make sure you double check clearances. Ceramic on the crank is a waste of $$$. Spend it on a 7M crank weight reduction & knife edge.

    r154 hard to shift when hot

    Must be on SF ;) That is correct, RP has friction modifiers in it...not good for a R154.

    r154 hard to shift when hot

    Royal Purple is not one of the oils to use in these trannys ;)

    Timing Issues [SOLVED]

    Is the CPS lined up like this with the cam gears pointing at the index and damper pointing at zero: It sounds like it is...just checking. You might want to check that the #1 piston is at TDC...get a chopstick and insert in the spark plug hole. It should achieve max height when the...

    Oil Advice from the autozone employee

    It should be fine to store with that fill...I would take it out for a 30 min highway run to get the oil nice and hot, then store. Assuming your PCV is good, it should burn off any condensation, etc. Do a change before you take it out next year.

    Question for the wise pt2

    That is usually for a line that T's in to a plastic hard line along the firewall. It goes to the heater control valve, cruise control actuator and boost gauge.

    Oil Advice from the autozone employee

    Well, as usual, that depends ;) What oil do you run and what length trips do you usually take? Specifically, does the oil get up to ops temp for 20-30 min at a constant RPM?

    Phantom Misfire.

    Part #? Or, do you know if they are ISO or JIS length? +1 on the need to be gapped ;)

    Stalling after replacing afm

    That is perfectly normal...I am confused...when does it die? Keep something else in mind...when you clear codes, many will not come back until the car is run. It is always a good idea to recheck for codes after a clear code-start-run cycle.

    ide problem and three diff codes

    This is actually normal...at idle the TB plate should be fully closed, effectively doing the same thing. The ISCV is supplying air to the intake manifold ;) Do this instead: Block off air at the ISCV hose by pinching it shut. The motor dies, you do not have an air leak...if it runs, you...

    Stalling after replacing afm

    Completely uncalled for. If you have a beef with me, take it to SupraCentral...otherwise, keep this kind of crap out of here.

    Stalling after replacing afm

    Code 11 masks all other codes when it is present...I saw you had this previously (you could have told me). You cleaned the ECU grounds going to the intake manifold? Seriously, if you want help you are going to need to be more forthcoming with info, history, etc. It's getting old fast asking...

    Stalling after replacing afm

    The ISCV has a check valve under it to prevent reverse flow to the accordion hose under boost. As a test (only...don't run this way) remove the ISCV, remove the check valve, reinstall ISCV and start. If it does not stall, replace the check valve with a new one. The ISCV hoses are routed to...

    Stalling after replacing afm

    You removed the ISCV and check valve to clean both? How did you clean the check valve?

    Stalling after replacing afm

    The ISCV, it's air path, or the check valve under it is clogged up. Or, the ISCV is not working....does it click open when you shut down? (should be able to hear it) I assume you cleared any previous codes.
