    Help! 82 vet xfire

    The blue wire is the B injector drive off pin 8 on the C451 ECM connector. This fires the injector pulse. When the ECM fires the injector, it completes the circuit to ground. I would check for a short to ground in the harness between the ECM connector and the Injector itself. The blue wire is...

    1982 TPS Question

    The TPS is a variable resistor or potentiometer. The center pin (pin 2)on the connector is the output of the potentiometer which varies the output voltage based on the TPS's position. To check it, unplug the harness and connect an OHMMETER between the center pin on the TPS connector and one of...

    LS1 oil change.

    I'm going to change mine this afternoon. 6% remaining. Probably the 4th time I've done it. Level works good, and I always let it drip for a hour or so, just to get every last drop out. Kind of a pain to have to jack it up twice, but it's the only way to get level while it drains.;)

    Question: Why Won't My New Blower Switch Work?

    The fan speed switch is connected to a resistor array that is inside a silver module mounted on the firewall. The resistors determine the fan speed based on thier resistance. It's a plug-in module that looks very much like a relay. Inside the silver module are wires of different resistance that...

    L83 problem. Off idle stumble? What do I look for?

    I agree with all the above. You might also want to check the hose that run to the MAP sensor for pinches. Restricted air flow will cause a delay in fuel/air mixture calculations. Check to see if your EGR valve lines are all good, with no cracks as well.

    Help! 1982 Fuel System Problem

    You might still want to try lifting up on the pressure regulator tab with the engine running. The engine will stall, since the fuel pressure will drop to zero when you do it. But there might be some debris stuck in the regulator that will flush through back to the tank through the return line...

    Help! 1982 Fuel System Problem

    The easiest way to check to see if your fuel pump is coming up to pressure is to listen to it when you turn the key on. It will run for a few seconds and then turn off. If it keeps running, then it's a good bet that your pressure regulator is letting fuel fow through and the pressure in the...

    Help! Leaking Transmission Fluid in a HUGE way on my 82 C3!

    Get a Helicoil kit to fix that stripped thread while you have the pan off. You don't want the shift cable coming loose or sliding the past the neutral safety position on you.

    Help! 1982 Fuel System Problem

    I'll give it a try. 1st, when you turn on the key and the fuel pump comes up to pressure, you will hear the pump run for 2-3 seconds, and then a click as the pump comes up to pressure and the relay clicks off. And you will get 2 squirts of fuel out the injectors on both throttle bodies. If not...

    egr solenoid input?

    No, there is nothing connected to the front nipple. That is to allow air back into the EGR when the valve closes.:thumb

    Help! Power locks only unlock... ideas???

    The wires to the door lock switches (for whatever reason) start to break at the switch connectors. They eventually are hanging on by one strand of wire and will not carry enough current to the door locks. Start there inside the door panel. You will likely find it very quickly. A solder job to...

    Power steering issue

    It's always best to have fluid in the system when you actuate the steering. Of course the force on the steering assist valve will be minimal when the car is on jackstands if you do turn the steering wheel. But to be on the safe side, I would not.

    Power steering issue

    Don't run the pump dry. It will start making noise when the reservoir empties, so shut it off then. Don't turn the steering wheel without fluid in the system, especially if the tires are on the ground, it will overstress the steering assist valve.
