ok so installed those new plugs and car seems to run fine and idle ok. But im a little concerned with the number 4 wire because it didn't firmly click in like the others, i gapped them and hand torqued then a 1/2 or less of a turn i could feel the first "snug" but how will i know if they are enough.
that was exactly the issue, i got the plugs out, and cranked it a few times. I didn't have someone there to check to see if water came out is this fine? i have pre drilled an holes on my cover and i saw drops so i think it worked.i went out and got spark plugs brk6e they are .35 or.38 stock...
i just tried to remove the plugs, i have a 5/8 spark plug remover, but it doesn't seem like it's fitting. Im assuming it's deep enough because its the actual remover, the 420a motor's spark plugs are 5/8 sockets right? what other sizes can i try? i had the motor assembled by a shop so idk if...
i just replaced the oil, and usually get synthetic changes, which is pricey, how soon would you change the oil? my drive way at my apt complex is slanted so i don't feel comfortable using stands, i've been going to shops since i moved.
Flash Flood here and i happened to me on my way home, of course after 30 mins of dodging huge puddles, few exits from home i turned on to a ramp witch had a weird entry dip and i think my CAI sucked up some water, it didn't die but rpms dropped and it instantly sputtered on the gas, now sputters...
Having some weird issues with my clutch but only when starting the car. To start the car i have to press the clutch and kind of angle it to the right side as im pressing it for the car to start, if i press straight down to the floor the car will not start. I have not noticed any issues with the...
ok i'll try the cardboard, but i fear i may need to mess with the track and the window, now looking in the chiltons, i don't quiet under stand illustrations. Are the two bolts attaching to the window the clips you mentioned? as you already know our visibility is limited behind the door panels...
I have manual windows and one day i rolled them down went for a ride came back home and rolled them up. As i get out my car i notice aged tint or dirt on the window at the very bottom and quickly discovered that it was rolled too far up it looks like. I try to roll it back down and the window it...
After getting the oil changed in noticed weird idle at a stop light, got home and checked my vacuum lines, one is going to the egr (think thats what that is) to the right, and the other two are recirculating, i tried to find a diagram and look at it but i don't understand it.I know the...
sorry for the double post but i have an updateSo since i replaced the thermostat and radiator cap, and took care of my broken temp sensor, my 150 mile trip 150 there 150 back, went well, no issues even in 5oclock big city traffic. but today, i drove the SOB to 5 miles work and it was fine...
i found it and sure enough the stiff pos broke off but i got it taken care of, and the new rad cap took care of the overflow issue, thanks guys, went on my trip and back with no issue...except one thing did happen. I don't know how to explain this enough but while driving with my lights on...
just replaced my thermostat because my coolant was overflowing in the reservoir, so I suspected it faulty. After I replaced it, topped off coolant, drove around 10 miles including hopping on i75, WOT to cruise at 80, and the temp gauge stayed cold the whole time. Its about 58 degrees, the...
im sorry no my info needs to be updated i blew the motor this is a fresh built all motor for breaking in eagle rods, weiesco pistons, nitrated crank arp studs, ported head ss valves and retainers stock lifters and cams, i live in an apartment complex no space to drop my oil pan i have access to...
alright, a good friend of mine built it, who also owns a shop, it's probably not blueprinted and its problably a stock ecu otherwise the seller didn't tell me
damn i didnt want to hear it but ok. i can check all that in the morning only problem is i absolutely need to drive it to work in the morning and that's it, i can leave it there, think that would hurt anything? I've been babying it like i should obviously, if it goes away or for that fact i...
weird noise on new motor, i have a video of the noise but can't really tell where its coming from, only at idle, goes away with throttle, only been driving it for 2 days.
also the car sounds like it's cammed at 800 or 900 rpm and im almost positive that there's supposed to be stock cams in...
in the middle of having someone replace my drum brakes to disc on a 96 rs. I have a question though, i have read the write ups plenty of times enough to know step by step what to do but ended up pawning it off, he tells me i need a steering knuckle to connect the hub rotor and caliper, shouldn't...
sweet, are there lower arms as well or just upper? should i do my front aswell? now when u say 3G i assume u mean our brother car? had no idea 3G parts work with 2G? goal is a 400hp dd already have brakes rotors and calipers waiting to be installed, just the rest is what im wondering about
sounds like a plan to me, any suggestions? guess i can replace that sway bar too, all that stuff is old and stock, now if everything checks out say no tear, and joints are good, will it make a difference still replacing them? i know if it aint broke dont mess with it, but theres about 135k on...
Finally got some decent coilovers for the 420a, and im going to install them soon.The car has been sitting for about a year so while im there what else should i replace? i just don't exactly know what else is there, e.g. bushings controller arms etc?btw the suspension is all stock and i plan...
yeah you're all probably right, but every time i see a 2g with a sunroof i get jealous, plus you can use lighter material than glass, ie carbon fiber, and lightweight aluminum railing, and to water proof i can put silicon or something in the grommet around the thin metal to make seal
As the title says i have a 96 2G w/o sunroof, is there any possible way i can make this conversion happen? It looks like all i need to do is take measurements, make the hole and go from there, and of course weatherproof it but you never know.Has anyone heard of this or done this? any...
lol i do, two 12s with 500 or 600w forgot, and a aftermarket stereo.so i get the concept of deep cycle batteries but is the gain an efficient one? it sounds like they will wear out a hell of a lot quicker than starter batteries. and explain when i will need a higher reserve that a starter...
Just finished building my motor top to bottom and my wallie mart battery is a dud. I've heard dsms running optima red top or yellow top batteries and i see they run about 200$now is there such thing as a performance battery? and if there is what is recommended. OR all batteries about the...
I seriously though that the manufacturer would have a recommended sepc for them, goals are 300hp, i'm actually on vacation just came to my mind about the PTW for my pistons, (rebuilding motor), thought it was a standard measurement i can right down and remember
Does anyone know the recommeneded clearance for JE pistons? 8 8 1 compressoon model, tried to look on the website but no luckalso any of you go away from the recommendation?
ok , well fuel lines it is im pretty sure i can check out the previous links to find the correct lines and fittings, now, will it be plug and play or do i need to alter anything before i take on this project
not meaning to steal the post but what oil would you reccomend for me? im doing a fresh n/a rebuild built bottom end, stock head, i plan to turbo winter it will be my dd shooting for 350
Ok so decided to spend the cash and go legit, i bought this valve cover with welded 10an fittings. Now can these things replace vacuum lines, power steering hoses etc.?
Ohh ok lol didn't realize they were dress up, honestly im still gonna try it to see if it looks good. Not yet ready to drop so much on the real an ones, plus don't you have to do modifications to get them to fit? Not sure but i know a friend who was saying he was selling a head with welded 10an...
Lookig to get some of those steel hoses i see most of you have, i checked some vendors here and they get pretty pricey. so of couse went to ebay and found a kit of them for about 30 bucks Here.my question is are the hoses something i should pay money for and get a good quality brand? or is...
