    What are these?

    They were in a bag attached to my head after I got it back from the machinist. He said something about injectors, but I dont really know. I also dont really understand why I've got only three of them.

    Opinions on window A/C unit.

    Option 1: I just found a real old Kenmore unit in the dumpster. 5000 btu. Blows pretty cold air. Only date I could find on the unit was 1982 and that was on the AHAM certified rating sticker. Im using it to cool my 18X12ft living room in my apartment. My only concern is that because its so...

    PS pump pulley removal

    I just figured out that my leak is powersteering fluid from the pressure hose on the pump. The problem is that its not actually the banjo bolt that is loose; its the big hex that goes into the pump itself. And of course, I cant get to it without the pulley removed. I've got the pulley nut off...

    Really touchy TPS adjustment?

    I attempted to adjust the TPS in the car and I was unsucessful so I took it out. I've got it on my desk here and its a lot easier to hold things in place, but the resistance readings arent the same. The readings will jump very eratically. For example, this is how it goes....I'll turn it...

    Bad idle when warmed up

    Well this has been going on with my car since I got it and I need to fix it. I'll start it, it will run and idle fine, but then when it warms up the idle just gets worse as time goes on. It will start to sputter and almost die, but then catch up and keep going. I've read a little and it...
