    Boost leak detector - afm or turbo?

    First to help others, here's a picture of My detector. It's a 3" PIC cap ($1.49) and a quick connect wit Teflon tape that I had. Question- YouTube videos I watched showed it going into intake piping (ie. AFM). I have done this before and connected to the Turbo (searched for 2 days and could...

    How much fluid does it take to fill the steering rack?????? Where is my fluid going

    As many around here know, my car has not gone anywhere since I bought it in '09. I now have it running right, registered, and insured. My first few drives have been short ventures, and it seems I'm now old enough to give up on being tough enough to go without power steering. At one point...

    Please help me rewire my 1992 Oxygen Sensor

    I have recently sourced the proper wiring harness for my 1992 turbo, and replaced the repinned 1989 harness that I was using. With the 89 harness, I was able to use the older O2 sensor, and it is the only one I have at this point. My plan is to remove the connector from the 89 harness and add it...

    Is my fuel pump DEAD?

    I have just completed a wiring harness swap in my car, and now I can't get a thing out of my fuel pump. Prior to the swap it ran fine, but I have had to wiggle some of the wires before to get the pump going. I suspect that is where my problem is now, but not sure since it no longer helps. Could...

    A couple of Auto to 5-speed Wiring Harness questions

    I have finally gotten a hold of a good wiring harness for my 92 5-Speed, but it is an Automatic harness. I have always heard that it was a simple thing to make it work. I have already pulled the makeshift converted harness from my car, and I have a little confusion. First, I'm confused with...

    ForcedTorque is finally driving every day!

    I can't seem to get my 92 to ever run right, so my need for a daily driver has finally overcome the importance of getting it perfect. I picked up a really nice 2002 Celica GT on Friday. It's just a GT, so only 140HP, but it has the action package to make it look fast anyway. Only 102K on this...

    How long is your N/A oil dipstick?

    I have sold a dipstick which I was pretty sure it came from a GE. There is an issue with the length of it. He tells me that it measures 22" from the tip to where the rubber starts under the handle. I have 2 more that I believe came from GE's that are the same. I also pulled the stick from my...

    Please help me identify these transmission (tranny) mounts

    I have someone on here wanting to buy a transmission mount, and I have 3 different ones. The first 2, I know are for the MKIII, but that's all I know. There used to be a thread on here that would clear it up for me, but I couldn't find it in a couple of different searches. The third one, I think...

    Why did it leak?

    I had some brand new Toyota Tail light gaskets laying around the house, so today I decided to get off my ass for a bit. I just can't figure out why the old ones leaked. Look at all 3 pictures and maybe you can figure it out. Note the missing studs at the top right and bottom left. Top...

    GM Stock Stereo Wiring........What interchanges?

    I have a dying CD player in my 2005 Trailblazer. I scoured the junkyard today in search of a replacement. I found a good looking unit with all of its knobs in a 2003 Regal. Could I assume that GM used similar stock wiring in everything of that era? I'm unemployed, and a $25 junkyard radio is...

    Is there any hope for these cams????????

    I suspect that these will be nothing more than added weight going into my old wrecked Trailblazer that's going to the crusher soon. But, I have my everything's $10 sale going on, and I would add them to that if there they can be saved. I didn't even know I had these, but found them while...

    Coolant, Intake Side

    First a little back story. this car has not been running since I have put the motor in it. It doe run, but won't idle right, so I have never driven it much.
