Now the door won't unlock and I can't open the door. I've tried using the key and trying to pry levers with a...

    Help! A/C vent trouble

    Just recently my A/C is only blowing out of the heater ducts. It is still nice and cold but I need the "air" above my feet! Pulled the dash apart and I see that neither the defrost or a/c flapper is functioning. I can manually open both flappers if I connect a brake bleeder pump to the...

    Help! Car will not start when hot

    I'm having trouble with my 82 CE not starting after it reaches normal operating temp. Starts fine when it is cold. But after being driven for awhile it will not not even crank - I get nothing. Once I wait about 30-60 mins, it will crank and fire right up. I replaced the starter and that...

    Bulb is out

    On my 86 coupe I have a burned out bulb in my tach guage. I'd like to pull the guage cluster out to replace the bulb and was wondering what is the simplest way to remove it. Maybe someone who has done it can offer me some tips. Thanks

    Help! Odd fuel pump reading

    I put a fuel pressure gauge on the schraeder valve today and when I turn the key to the "on" position the needle shoots up to about 43-45 lbs, shakes erratically and imediately drops to 20 PSI. Does this sound like a bad diaphram in the regulator? I thought it could also be a stuck injector...

    replacing the opti

    I need to replace the opti - spark on my 95. Is this a difficult project, or should I take it to have it done? It's mainly an issue of available time for me. Can I do it in a day or two? Also, if I decide to do it myself, is there a website with step-by-step instructions? Distributors...

    Need interior parts for 82 CE

    I'm looking for the headliner trim pieces that go between the t-tops and the rear hatch. If anyone has a resource to obtain these parts or knows of a 82 CE in salvage, please pass the info along to me. I don't believe there are repro parts for these since they are unique to the Collector...

    Leading cause of bad O2 sensors?

    I've got another bad O2 sensor on my 95 after just replacing them less than 4000 miles ago. Prior to that my 02 sensors lasted less than 3000 miles before they were replaced at no charge by Pep Boys. Now they're going bad again. They are Bosch sensors which I thought would be good. The ones...

    BBK, TPis, or?

    I'll be ordering a new 52 mm TB soon and was wondering which one seems to work best...BBK, TPis, or? I notice the 52 mm TPiS TB claims 1000 cfm and the BBK claims about 750 cfm. I don't really think I need 1000 cfm for my application so I was leaning towards the BBK. Any problems with the...

    Injector size?

    Went and had a dyno run today and found out I'm way too lean. I start out at 12.5 and then leaned out to 13.9 @ 5000 rpm. I have 22# pink tops in now and I thought that would be fine with the new motor...Guess not! The guy at the shop recomended 30#. That seams too big if I only need to drop...
