87 overheating Good work on getting the fan to run. Unfortunately the availability of quality parts hampers our ability to repair our cars on the first attempt much to our frustration. I myself went through three TPS units until I found one to work properly. One from AZ actually fell apart on...

87 overheating What do you consider overheating? My car runs over 200 degrees and up to almost 230 in summer traffic, ie; 90 degree outside temps. Do a search for "cooling fan relay" or "overheating", this subject has been well covered.

Loud knock That's been done before........lol. With the spark plug removed and the engine running there will be a sound similar to a rod knocking.

code 33 Until you have a Factory Service Manual it's all guess work. I have the manual and had a troublesome code 33. My MAF and burnoff relays checked ok and until I changed the throttle position switch the code would not go away. If you have a multimeter, check the resistance of the tps thru...

won't shift Does the clutch pedal still work in the same manner it did before the problem started? By that I mean, can you start and stop normally or do you have to have the engine stopped when the car is stopped when in gear? It's possible that the ball stud has been bent or is broken. Same...

Shift Sounds like the clutch isn't being released by the pressure plate. When it starts in gear with the clutch in does the car tend to move?

Same trouble I replied to your earlier thread.........My original trouble was hesitation. I checked the TPS and found it jumping so I changed that and all was well for three days until the TPS fell apart...literally. I put on another Autozone TPS and it worked for a few days and then started...

Code 33 I was having the same trouble with my 86. Changed the relays, pulled all of the wiring off the engine to inspect the connectors, cleaned all the connectors, changed the MAF, TPS too. Long story short, the TPS was bad. That was two I bought from Autozone, First one fell apart on the...

I've been having a SES with an intermittent code 33 for some time now. Thanks to the advice on this forum I tore apart the wiring to the MAF power and burn off relays and cleaned them to like new. It's been two days now and no SES light. I wish I would have found this forum before buying parts...
