    Need Help w/ Door Lock, Power Window Problem

    Hi, without a mm or the basic knowledge to use it, you are sort of working blind. But the things you can check are the connections. Take the door switches off and look for corroded or loose connections. Also follow the wire bundle especially where it goes through the rubber shield between the...

    air conditioning

    Yes it is possible that the valve wasn't holding. But while the guage is arrached and the valves are off, even a bad schrader shouldn't leak, the guage and hose should hold the pressure. And if you have a proper cap tightened on the schrader when all is buttoned up, that should hold the pressure...

    air conditioning

    Hi, first clean up the dye residue with water and dish detergent. Then if you are using r134 get a can of r134 with the dye in it. You don't need to fill the entire system. Just enough to pressurize both sides. 1-2 cans should do it. Install the refrigerant to a vacummed system. Search for the...

    2nd mkIII, parts anyone?

    It is called the "Seal Washer, and Check Valve". You will see it on the air intake chamber under the iac when you remove it. It is only on turbo models, to keep backflow from dirtying up the iac.. Thanks.

    Heater Control Valve & AC Performance

    Hi, with no control to direct the heater valve, it will be always open. So yes hot coolant will be flowing through the core. The blend door is supposed to adjust the cool warm flow ratio according to controll setting. It is possible that the blend door is not sealing 100%, allowing some hot air...

    TPS Throttle Position Sensor Bottom Screw Stripped, 87 Turbo Automatic Unmodified

    Hi guys, I attempted to adjust the tps last night, since I got the bottom screw out finally. I wasn.t able to get the settings close enough to the TSRM instructions. I also tried the 87 manual instructions, but I now know that manual is in error, so I followed the TSRM. I finally determined the...

    TPS Throttle Position Sensor Bottom Screw Stripped, 87 Turbo Automatic Unmodified

    Hi Guys, ok I finally got the bottom screw out. I super glued a #2 1" long phillips bit to it. after about 2 hours it was set very strong. I was then able to turn it with a small 1/4" wrench. got the screw out with the bit still glued to it. needless to say that screw won't be going back in. I...

    TPS Throttle Position Sensor Bottom Screw Stripped, 87 Turbo Automatic Unmodified

    Hi Guys, hope someone has a miracle idea, although I probably know the answer to this problem already. I finally got around to checking the timing and tps of my 87 Turbo,Automatic that I got in Oct. I felt the idle was not quite right, it seems a bit low (about 550 in park), and a bit lumpy at...

    Hard Start, stalling, stumbling when hot

    Thanks for the reply jets, I have rtfm. After discovering that I actually mistakenly replaced the egr vsv, which was not working by the way, and the car does now start and run well, I to can't really explain it. Perhaps by me mucking around with the vac lines, I inadvertantly tightened one that...

    EGR VAC ROUTING 1987 Turbo Automatic, No Mods

    Thanks jets, your info is usually spot on, albeit delivered with a sledgehammer. But I appreciate it anyways. Just to clarify, I did read the manual, and saw the diagrams. My problem, and it was my problem, not a problem with the supplied info is that I just did not see the fpu vsv, and mistook...

    EGR VAC ROUTING 1987 Turbo Automatic, No Mods

    Hi Guys, I have finally fiqured out the vac routing on my car. It is essentially the same as the diagram, just not exactly. I mistook the egr vsv for the fpu vsv. The Fpu vsv is under the alternator, near block, by runner 1 of the intake manifold. I couldn't see the fpu vsv from any angle...

    Hard Start, stalling, stumbling when hot

    Major Correction. Hi Guys, I wouldn't want to mislead anyone. I discovered a major piece of misinformation i gave in this thread, while I was investigating my egr valve. And I want to set it straight. In fact the vsv valve for fpu is below the alternator close to block right below the 1st runner...

    EGR VAC ROUTING 1987 Turbo Automatic, No Mods

    Thanks for posting the schematic. That is the diagram that I am referring to in the post. My car doesn.t have the dedicated vsv for the egr system. In the diagram is appears that the vsv for egr gets it's vacuum source at the intake nipple. On my car the hose that goes from the modulator that...
