1) Cracked accordion causing code 34 huh? I'd be looking elsewhere ;) 2) A faulty VTA signal from the TPS will not cause misfire at light throttle. It won't cause a no start either. You still need to fix it but the root cause of your problem lies elsewhere. Depending on the size of the crack it...

The rewire one member shaeff offers. Used to correct KS wiring shorts or opens in the stock harness. I've never seen the kit (my 21 year old harness still works fine) but it's apparently done the job for many members.

Damn cam angels...

Lmao. MM/hg is simply pressure expressed by using a column of mercury to measure it. Gases have mass and are therefore subject to the force of gravity. The weight of our atmosphere pressing down upon us will, at sea level and 59 F, push a column of mercury 760 millimeters up a tube. Mercury is...

You're slipping Nick...the other guy's post was more reply worthy ;)

The problem with that is iirc one of the parts is an ASIC because of the timer function built into it and may be difficult to source. Been so long I could be wrong though. Never had a problem back there. Been lucky I guess. No leakage, corrosion, nothing. Even all the bulbs are original. I...

I was joking. I'd have to sift your previous posts to answer the question but since I only do that to those who post truly stupid stuff you're off the hook ;)

Well, I *am* basically saying that. However, as with diagnosing any problem, it's always best to have multiple correlations. In this case that means doing other tests. Besides, a HG can fail in different ways. A quality kit will cost the same as Napa. A Napa kit (it's a relabed Blok Chek) can...

Running no VSV on the EGR will result in it being on when it shouldn't. Running without one on the FPU system will result in it not working. Of the two the EGR issue is the bigger "problem".

I have no idea what you're talking about Frank. My comment was directed at the OP. I also have nothing to do with how halochromic PH indicators work. They do what they do. I've tested lots of engines that came out green and not one had a BHG. I should have said coolant instead of antifreeze...

The fluid contains bromothymol blue, a narrow range PH indicator: http://tinyurl.com/2h7b6b Greens means coolant PH is right around 7. It won't be that with a BHG, at least not one that's failed into the cooling system, because there's no CO2 derived carbonic acid in the coolant. That's...

By "going off" I think the OP means he's reading 3 psi on the stock gage. At least that's my interpretation. Based on the display of illiteracy routinely seen here I could be wrong though...

http://tinyurl.com/4y2sm7 The truth is any 12 volt three-way solenoid will work. I won't bore you with the technical details and I understand it wasn't intentional but it's not a good thing to have the EFI system powered up for a long time without the engine running. ACC is fine but KOEO...

A late 90s Geo Prizm or 92-01 Corolla (probably the same as the 89) works fine. Toss the bracket that it comes with and swap the actuator lever. The valve then screws onto onto the stock bracket just like the old one. Hose ports are slightly larger but they fit no problem. Btw, neither it nor...

Oops...never mind.

That would be Dr Jonez. One of our SMEs. He knows what he's doing...

Couple of comments: 1) It doesn't matter what kind of meter is used. A DMM will work just fine. You don't even need a meter to set it. A test light would do. So will the car's MIL. 2) Although it needs to be fixed for other reasons (and it does sound like the TPS is bad) it should be obvious...

Because it matters from a wear standpoint. Doesn't only involve drive shafts either. It's spline and gear 101.

Well, if the pressure definitely went over 220psi and yet the fans turn on when the switch is jumpered the solution should be intuitively obvious: Replace the switch. You'll have to recover the refrigerant to do it. In such cases I usually recover then pressurize with N2 for testing. It beats...
