Agreed. If the threads are stipped chasing them won't restore the joint's clamping ability because the thread percentage can't be restored. Helicoil it using the original size.

How did you establish the AC is fully charged? If it is the dual pressure switch is probably OK but check it anyway. Jumpering the switch means to unplug it's connector and use a wire across it. Or ohm the connector side of the switch and see if you have continuity. For now we need to treat code...

Yes but a more accurate description would be IDL contact open or bad rather than TPS. Remember, when trouble shooting the TPS should be treated as having two independent functions becasuse it does. Now why didn't I simply write that? Because you wouldn't understand the why of it. The TSRM is...

Nah, it's not your fault. Upon rereading the post I see it's accurate but a piss poor job of explaining. It's because I'm in a bit of pain from an mild infection and the hydrocodone is making me stupid(er).. Me thinks I'll rewrite it when I get a chance born2drv: That's pretty sad when you fork...

Yes my friend, you are being lazy. Not because the TSRM explains it but because I already have in several previous posts. But since you're such a nice guy I'll go over it again ;) The Neutral Start Switch signal and the AC signal share code 51 for diagnostic purposes. It's a method of verifying...

Your code 51 and AC problem are completely unrelated. Focus on the TPS and search for recent threads about dealing with this code. And stop jumping your AC compressor unless you want to buy a new one.

The two horns behind the bumper are the normal horns. The one on the firewall is the TD horn.

As I said, they don't know what they don't know. It's like shootin' fish in a barrel ;)

Lol, easy there Big Fella. My point was that you didn't know what you were talking about regarding the Supra's idle system and you don't. That has no bearing on you knowing how to wrench on CH-53Ds. I'll say this though, unless you're military you must be a certificated A&P. Fwiw I've never met...

Hold on there my man. You need to be sure those will handle the flow and plastic fuel filters aren't designed to handle the heat of PS fluid. I'd stay away from them if I were you. Metal won't let you see if the media has collapsed and fuel filters have no bypass ability. A problem will send...

Well, in all fairness you really don't know what you're talking about. What we have here is a debate between an electrical engineer and a guy who can't wire up a fan, who by his own admission knows little about and hates electronic stuff and a guy who has to take his car to a dealer for work...

Smart man. Yep, fluid contamination is the single greatest killer of hydraulic systems. I was going to install a filter in that spot but my 87 only has that stupid pipe so I choose to install a small cooler there. Took up all the room. Overkill with syn fluid for sure but I'm anal. Moroso makes...

The truth is the AFM screw is for adjusting idle mixture. That's it's designed purpose and is why it's sealed. It does that by changing the amount of unmetered air versus metered and thus shifting the Karman frequency. This shifts the fuel trim loop one way or the other. *Edit*: OK, I pulled my...

I don't know a lot about cars Porter. I know a lot about machines and machine design though. It's why I tend to look at cars as a mass of separate systems instead of one machine. It's why I treat those systems as something other than what they're end function is. For example I view the power...

Not that I'm aware of but that doesn't mean squat. I suppose you could use an inline fuel filter but it may be too fine. The Magnefine media is sized for ATF and it has a bypass in case you forget to change it, which isn't going to be as often as they claim if you start out with a clean system...

I'm not attacking you Porter. On the contrary, I'm trying to help you out. You don't think about what you're doing. Is that because you feel you know enough that you don't have too? Look at the title of this thread. Why would anyone never believe it? It's well known (and should be...

Lol, as has been pointed out here before, criminals aren't very smart. It's why they're criminals. Like everyone I have hobbies. One of them is studying human behavior. It's good in that it can lead to introspection which, like picking your nose or getting laid, is a learned skill. The more you...

I'll give him an A for effort. He needs to learn some things though. This might be a good place to start: http://tinyurl.com/zyhh7 "But I wore the juice."....lol

I use the $20 inline one, more for it's ease of installation and filtering ability than for the magnetic part. I prefer using other, finer, filtration on auto trannys but I use the Magnefine on the PS. It works fine on trannys though as it's cheap and easy to install in either case. That other...

Go for it. Anything is better than that strainer most trannys have. Btw, I keep spelling Magnefine wrong. Here's the filter: http://tinyurl.com/hq6xb Made for trannys but I use them in the PS loop.
