I wouldn't touch anything on the engine until you learn how to read codes.

POR-15 makes tank sealant. Metal Mask I think. Others do also. It's a common problem in bikes. edit: 5150 beat me ;)

Usually when people get a check engine light they read codes...

Bought new off a dealers lot on June 22, 1987. Time for something new soon.

Although charging the battery with it connected to the car is a bad thing to do it should allow codes to be read. Otherwise the battery needs to be above 11 volts. And yeah, this "mechanic" is a piece of work alright. Fwiw many places are charging for diagnosis these days. They should too...

Sure. Contrary to popular belief its BAR that admins emissions in Cali not the DMV. For others the link he was referring to for a vehicle's smog history is here: http://tinyurl.com/6ohou

You could wire it to your stop lights but they'd come on when you stepped on the clutch. Using a diode would prevent that though. If you do wire it to the brake lights be sure to use the correct side of the stop light switch because it does both a signal and hard-wire cancel of the CC. Better...

Yes, he's right. Especially about area versus velocity which is, as he pointed out, how the thing works. Seems many don't understand that even though it's basic FD. Another thing I see many don't understand is the different purpose the bypass chamber screw serves on the vane type flow meter as...

Neither has mine. Runs same as stock. For the other poster you're getting warmer. The appropriate formula is not the one posted though ;)

http://tinyurl.com/2k8bey See there for areas subject to Enhanced or Basic. New 2007 laws in general: http://tinyurl.com/2kj9gm Note riding in the trunk is now an infraction. Also note reckless driving or racing in which someone is hurt now entitles you to 6 months of hot pork injections...

Bad math...or I should say wrong math.

The manual is very specific on what is allowed and what's not. If the tech isn't a prick he'll look the other way but he can fail the car for even simple things like non-stock hoses on the PCV and idle speed system. Very few will look the other way for a missing main cat, EGR, evap cannister...

Fwiw the little ground wire on the coil packs has nothing to do with providing ignition. Couldn't have been your problem.

Err, not to be picky but the cold star injector can only operate when the key is held to start.

Which situation? The one where by failing to set timing correctly and forcing the ECU to use an improper reference for all further timing corrections you've skewed the entire ESA system? That situation?

If you can make it fit the wiring would be simple. I've repaired/modified many driver's side switches. Different led colors, increased brightness, repairs, etc. For those of you who've never torn one of the things apart all the way down to component level it's quite a piece of engineering. Talk...

I was hoping he'd take that silver spoon out of his mouth and research it himself but no harm done I guess. I was actually referring to measuring drop the other way using current. Involves putting the meter across either end of the same conductor or device while it's loaded. Any resistance in...

Lmao. Tough crowd here. Why would anyone just throw parts at a car willy-nilly in order to fix a problem? Time to jack up the radiator cap...

How are you measuring the 8 volts? Right across the injectors? If so measure each side to ground. Or do it at the ECU. Do it with the key on engine off. This is a Cressida motor right? Do you have the Cressida ECU? The 12 volts comes from the battery, goes through a few fusible links, the...
