So you have that off when trying to start it?

Checking the suction screen is a good idea. Punching holes in it, thereby sending all that crap into your hydraulic system and defeating the screen for future use, is not. Makes me wonder what the poster who suggested it does when he gets something in his eye... Start by checking the fluid...

Lmao...

Well, it could be .11 mm so I'm hedging my comment. I do know one thing though: my turbo doesn't recirculate exhaust gases ;)

^ Really? Damn, I learn something new every day...

I'm curious...where exactly are you seeing smoke come out of the TB?

If that's 11 thou the thing is a banana...

^ Brilliant. Now why don't other people think of that?

A bit more detail if I may: The "low gas switch" isn't. Just the opposite. It's a high pressure switch that closes and operates the fan whenever the high side of the refrigerant system exceeds 220 psi. Such a high head pressure happens with insufficient airflow through the condenser such as in...

Assuming you're talking about the fusible link for the alternator he's talking about a replacement that can be bought at any auto store. It has drilled holes for bolting the connections onto. Go to the store and look for fuses 40 amps and above. You'll see what we're getting at. And you're...

Too much CFM is a bad thing...

Or one of these ;) http://tinyurl.com/2dfqqv

Lol. East Bay is indeed enhanced these days. That was all politics though. The local politico over Stockton way (I forget his name) complained how your smog was supposedly being blown over there so he introduced legislation that forced the Bay Area into enhanced back around 2000. I live in...

Canister isn't involved. The test involves pinching the vapor line as close as possible to the canister so no removing of hoses. Fwiw with a little thought this test can be duplicated easily and cheaply at home before going in. Since we're talking about inches of water making a gage should cost...

Sure. Be careful not to lose the O rings. You might want to clean the housing while the electronics are out. *Do not* try and clean the sensor. That said keep in mind it may not be your problem...

You should take Cuel's advice and check VTA more closely. 5 volts at WOT is not going to cut it. Closed throttle VTA might be a little less or a little more than what he said depending on how precisely the TPS is adjusted but otherwise VTA must remain between 100 mv and 4.8 volts to prevent...

I'm stickin' to my original diagnosis (pretty much same as Dan's) here. It sounds like an intermittent IDL connection. The high idle further implicates it. You might want to try driving around in diag mode for a few days and watch to see if 51 goes away when the throttle is lifted. The only...

Since many here are so fond of California's BAR Smog Check Program I thought those living there who don't already know of it might be interested in the Low Pressure Fuel Evaporative Test for older vehicles that became mandatory last month. It applies to all model year vehicles 1976-1995 except...

Not much in parts but a lot in labor if you have someone else do it. I had someone bring me a car with that problem. I used a tapered mandrel to reform them. A roll of the dice but it worked.

We can tell ;) What opening are you referring to?
