    Help! '90 C4 Diagnostic Code Interpretation

    Digging around, I've discovered: 1) That the Hxxx means history - so no apparently code currently active 2) When all else fails, the flashing sys message with no set codes often occurs with a low voltage situation So I probably have a weak battery that was affected by the underhood...

    Vacuum Hose / FPR & HVAC ('90 L98)

    Problem solved - ended up removing the plenum and unbolting the fuel rail so that I could access the vacuum hose that I had inadverently pinched under the rail. Thanks -

    Vacuum Hose / FPR & HVAC ('90 L98)

    Just finished replacing my injectors and reassembling the engine. Have a question on the vaccum hose for the FPR. I see that there are 3 vacuum port on plenum, near the sensor that is mounted on the rear passenger side. The rear port has a hose running directly to the sensor (I never...

    Day's Cruisin' and Rear Hatch Vent Question

    My only concern would be that the window is no longer supported along the entire edge where it sits on the vehicle - only by the latch that is attached to the 'gadget' - would that single point put more stress on the glass and possible cause it to break due to extra flexing and bouncing?

    Removing SRS (airbag) in Steering Wheel ('90)

    To answer my own question - I finally got a T-30 bit to fit the screws and removed the air bag. In addition to disconnecting the battery, I also pulled the airbag fuse.

    Horns Won't Blow

    Ringleader - I removed the airbag from my car this morning and the wire with the spring for the horns that goes into the column immediately fell out. It looks as if I will need to replace my cam as well. Appreciate the part # when you get a chance to post on Tuesday. Spinman

    Removing SRS (airbag) in Steering Wheel ('90)

    I'm in the process of checking the wiring for my horns (steering wheel horn switches do not work) and need to remove the airbag from the steering wheel. 1) Might anyone know the size and style of bolt heads used to hold the bag in the wheel. It appears to be a 5 sided hex nut - as opposed...

    Horns Won't Blow

    Ringleader - Please post the part # for the cam if you have it. It appears that they need to pull the wheel to get to the cam - I see the wire with the spring going into a hold in the steering wheel. Is the cam on the otherside - down the shaft? The solution others have mentioned indicates...

    Mobile One

    How about vehicles that did not specify synthetic oil from the factory? Can I switch my Low Mileage 1990 L98 to Mobil 1 w/o any problems - or should I stick with petro based products? Does the viscosity range change or would I stick the same (10w30 as I recall off the top of my head)....

    1995 Electronic Climate Control Problem

    Dan - I've had the radio out on my 90 several times. The last time it was out, I wanted to remove the HVAC control head to clean the contacts and check the buttons. However, I had a problem removing the bolt on the right hand mounting bracket - and anticipating the next step - could not see...

    1995 Electronic Climate Control Problem

    I've had similar problems over the years with my '90. Sometimes I temporarily lose control of the temperature (as you have done) - other times it's the fan speeds - or perhaps the auto button refuses to work. If I wait a bit (hours or days), I eventually regain control (until the next time)...

    keyless entry

    Jeff - Just wondering - on the VKE 1000 you have installed - when you unlock at night - does that activate the perimiter lighting (as happens when the key is inserted into the lock)? You mentioned that the horn sounds when unlocking because the system temporarily arms before disarming - why...
