    do the math

    one of the first lessons I learned 30+ years ago in restoring cars or working on "toys" is never count the money and pay no attention to the time spent, unless you plan to sell or make money at it.

    Question: Fuel injectors.

    I just went with the the Bosch III's which are 22LB. Use vaseline to coat the o rings.. The info I got was the alcohol in the Cleaner and in the new fuel eats the coating around the coils. the coils are inside and get washed with gas. The alchol eats the coating and the coil shorts out. Also...

    Help! C4 Cold Start Problem... Please Help!

    I think I read in the FSM about the oil pressure switch. If it doesn't read 4lbs it will disable the fuel pump.

    still lacking 12 volts to AC compressor

    the relay you want is to the left of the stearing wheel, at the bottom of the dash, towards the driver.(all the way to the back toward the driver) There are two relays and the flasher. I think it is the one closest to the stearing wheel. They are both the same. The replacements are at any parts...

    PROM questions

    also check rhe vacuum tree (EGR solenoid) attached to the inner bolt on the thermostat housing, it is a plastic line inserted into a rubber housing. After 20 years that plastic gets brittle and will break.

    EGR solenoid/Vacuum tree

    Top' Good article, I have modified the exhaust, (Dual exhaust,no cat and stock mufflers). I never got the dreaded 32 code. I just noticed the piston was all the way out on the old valve and frozen, I don't see how it could have worked. I bought a new one and noticed it's piston was flush...

    EGR solenoid/Vacuum tree

    Thanks Jim It looks like it just might be a retainer as the diagram doesn't show anything coming out. I wasn't getting any EGR code. Bought a new EGR valve. The old EGR has the big "piston" all the way out and it won't move , the new one is flush with the mounting flange except for the...

    EGR solenoid/Vacuum tree

    While I have the plenum off waiting for my injectors from FIC, I figured I would replace anything that could possibly fail. I noticed the EGR solenoid has a vacuum connection with 2 steel clips facing the passenger side. There is nothing connected and I can't find anything hanging around to...

    Injector cleaning

    Here is what I decided, I called Jon at FIC and ordered his injectors. This guy knows his Sh*&*&. He modifies the injector where they fit just like the OEM's. When he told me what could happen to the OEM'S with E10 or E85, that was enough for me to take everyones advice and replace all. And...

    I am not sure you can go back to original after the top has been painted. At this point it's hard to say. If the layer you are at now is smooth, you might try sanding the surface with 600 W/D, then recoat. got any pictures?

    Injector cleaning

    gw962, I remember seeing the post you refer to where you didn't have to remove the runners. That was what I was fishing for. When you read so many post's its hard to remember what is true and what you wish were true. If anyone has this I would appreciate you sending it on. Did you use...
