It be easier to skip all this drama and just put the thing back in...

Good news for California firearm owners: AB962 was struck down today just a few weeks before it was due to go into effect. The law would have prevented the buying of handgun ammunition online, required ammo transfers be face to face, and would have required identification and a thumb print for...

While it's true I've fixed a couple the typical failure mode is unrepairable. After going through two of my own I finally gave up on the stock ones and substituted an industrial miniature three-way that permanently solved the problem. It was also cheaper.

Good grief. I'm amazed there'd even be debate about something so long established and simple to understand.

^ This. I about fell off my chair when I read that HP/grounding thing. In this particular situation any ground will do. If you want the very "best" connect to the negative battery terminal, either directly or through one of its two main branches. That means either the block cable or the main...

Lmao. You guys are killin' me. Hey Jon, are you getting all this down? :)

^ Say what?

^ Easy there big fella. We all had to start somewhere. And you *are* being overprotective. Changing the oil every 2K miles is doing more harm than good. I checked the oil in car maybe once a month. Contrary to popular belief unless the engine has leaks or is badly worn there's no reason it needs...

I wish the "lock up" thing would die. There is no mechanical connection between clutch halves that can fail. None. It's strictly a hydrodynamic coupling and due to losses can't turn the fan more than 70% of input speed even when the thermostatic valve is fully closed. It's 80% for the truck...

The clutch and/or fan have nothing to do with your engine not reaching temperature. That's assuming it actually isn't, something you've yet to provide any real evidence of.

Uh, if I were him I'd stick to pancakes. OP: We can maybe teach you about this car but we can't teach you about cars in general, an area in which you seem to be sorely lacking. As far as the heartache these cars bring this elitist asshole drove his for 22 years without problems. And to...

^ Indeed. Me thinks the operative words here are "trailer park"...

Sorry, couldn't resist ;) From what I've read you'd better get used to it...

:naughty:

Apparently that's also true of this forum...

The engine fires because the ECU doesn't use the AFM (whether it's connected or not) for starting due to Ks being unreliable at cranking speed. Furthermore a lack of Ks isn't detected until rpm crosses 500, the point at which it begins to be sampled. This is the same rpm at which the MIL is...

You're welcome. The system isn't in Fail Safe unless the MIL is illuminated. That it had been at one point and the code got stored for later diagnostic display is meaningless. Just be sure the light is out "at the time" and code 51 is not present.

Yes

Then hows about you stop wasting our time, change the oil, and see what happens. And wtf is up with insisting on oil from a Mopar dealership? Yeah, I believe he doesn't "gaf" if he built your engine and didn't provide advice about breaking it in. Not to mention the amount of gaf required to let...
