Ok I did some more testing today. Ambient Temp 78 Static pressure 110 lo side 125 Hi side. At Idle the lo side cycles between 20-33 and the Hi side 170-250 At Hi Idle the low side cycles 18-32 and hi 225-320 I took the small access panel off the top of Evap housing and nothing is in there ...

The original compressor locked up solid. the reman'd replacement clutch went out on the road in the middle of a trip and we couldnet find a replacement along the route. By the time we got to where we were going and did get a clutch the shaft was fubar so thats why I put the used unit on. At...

First of all the system was converted last summer to r134a. Everything was flushed and cleaned out . All the hoses removed and flushed. New Variable out orifice put in and re-man compressor. Everything was working ok till the clutch went out 400 miles from home. This in turn caused a loss of the...

OK, I bought a couple of new keys with the correct resistance chip in them to have spares cut before I loose my only set. I went to Advance to get them cut but instead of risking one of my VATS keys to check I had them cut a non VATS key to check and see if it would at least turn the lock...

I think he meant LUBE.

Nice photos. What are you putting back? Genuine GM or aftermarket?

I went the other way and did the fuel rails to match exterior then Testors black on letters.

Last week I ordered new headlight bushings from Zip! Well this afternoon I decided to see if I could get them installed. The drivers side motor would hunt for 5-6 seconds after the door closed, The instructions I tried following were not for my 93 so they kinda got me off track on the first one...

Thanks all,, I suspect it could be to the tank There were several colors of wires in there maybe 28 guage or so and maybe 4-6 conductors. I thought at first it was just stuck up under there caught between some sheet metal but thats not the case. Maybe I'll take a picture.

I stopped and looked at a 2003 coupe a few minutes ago and there is a cable with several wires hanging down and dragging the pavement under the car. The cable is under the drivers seat area and there looks like a wire hanger has come loose along the rocker panel area. The cable disappears into...

Thanks for the replies guys. I was worried when I first looked under the hood of my C4 and as I got into the manual and actually tinkering around in there it was no longer as intimidating. I gave up working on cars for a while as I had more important things going on in life. I had not done much...

As someone who hopes to move up to a C5 some day soon I have a question for those that have taken this step before me. Are C5's more difficult to work on and repair than C4's? I do as much of my own work as I possibly can and hate it when i have to let someone else under the hood. I have heard...

I like driving with no pants.....

As I recall one injector shorted out( near zero resistance) when hot will shut down the entire bank on that side. So if 1 on both sides goes bad --no fuel.

We bought our 93 Torch red with 114 K on it. It now has 121K. It broke down on us on our first major trip and continues to give us some problems with the auxilliary components. The first trip I speak odf was a six hour trip to the beach. The alternator bearings locked up on the way to the beach...

yup always check the easiest stuff before diving headfirst into the deepestdarkest part of the problem. We have a couple of guys that I work with and they seem to forget the easy stuff and make a simple problem much harder than it really is. And sometimes we can get so focused on the problem...

I have Edelbrocks on mine as well but since that's what came on the car when I bought it I have nothing to compare to. Whenever I hit a hole in the road I definitely feel it and sometimes it seems I can feel every gravel on the pavement as well.

I have also heard that Bilstein will rebuild your factory shocks. Can anyone confirm this? At what cost I am not sure but that may be a better option than throwing away money on cheapo shocks. Unless you put the cheapos on while having the Bilsteins redone.

If you do remove you should save the parts for the nexrt owner. with your car being an anniversary car having everything stock will mean more cash when next sold.

I replied that I had friends and family in Great Falls and that i could have someone come and look at the car or he could take it by my uncles dealership. He has since pulled his add from Craigs list and I haven't heard from him again. I was having fun once I realized it was a scam and got over...
