    brakes smoke under normal to medium braking

    alright, so after taking a look, the calipers are not seized, but the pistons are definitely sticking. I am going to rebuild them this week. I also loved the post about heat transfer to the rotors, as a mechanical engineering student this is quite the interesting phenomenon :rolleyes: and to...

    brakes smoke under normal to medium braking

    Didn't think of that. I will check that today when I go to work on the car.

    brakes smoke under normal to medium braking

    I am positive it is the brakes. I can get out of the car after driving and watch them smoke for a couple minutes.

    brakes smoke under normal to medium braking

    The braking doesnt seem different. And it does not pull to one side. Both the left and right front rotors are smoking. I will spin both wheels this week when I do other maintenance. They must be getting damn hot as I have less than year old slotted rotors on there and ceramic pads with less...

    brakes smoke under normal to medium braking

    As the title states the my front brakes smoke under normal to medium braking. I assume the pistons are seized. Not quite sure what caused this... anyways, rebuild or new calipers?

    Low Battery Light

    It was the battery cable. One of the connections must have been bad.

    420A Check Engine Light

    What kind of OBD-II reader do you have? One that just plugs right in, or one of the nicer ones that has different connectors and requires an electronic "key" to be hooked up to it? You could be missing that. If not then yes its possible your battery is that dead. Although I know some readers...

    420A Check Engine Light

    A code would be the most help, because it could be any number of things. My guess though would be with the ignition seeing as you replaced the plugs and it is rough starting and wont stay running. First, check your plug wires. Make sure you put the right cylinders back to the correct terminal...

    Low Battery Light

    alternator just got replaced... battery wire and terminals are clean and not corroded. Im going to check for the fuse and the ground wires as well. Will update tomorrow.
  11. pwnzer

    Low Battery Light

    I will check that tomorrow. However if a fuse was blown, wouldn't I have problems starting, because my battery would completely drain?
  12. pwnzer

    Low Battery Light

    Isn't the plug in the palm of your hand for the battery? Do they both go there? Anyways, both of those are tight. Where is the fuseable link/how do I check it?
  13. pwnzer

    Low Battery Light

    Is that where the wire that bolts on heads to? I was trying to figure out what that went to.
  14. pwnzer

    Low Battery Light

    I replaced the alternator last night. Still have the same problems.
  15. pwnzer

    Low Battery Light

    All of the connections are tight. Its not just the light. My radio, headlights, interior lights, etc will dim or cut out while driving, and then turn back on. I think a ground wire might have corroded. I'm going to take a better look tomorrow after this storm passes.

    Sorry for thr long delay. Its not the alternator, cause i rrplaced that and thr light was still on. Its not the battery. I have had it load tested twice now. Im thinking maybe it's a bad wire causing a short....

    clunky noise coming from front right

    I felt no play in the lower a arm with the car jacked up.

    clunky noise coming from front right

    when i go over a large bump the front right makes an excessive noise. It sounds like something is loose. I have jacked up and checked for play in the steering and suspension. There was no play. My next guess is a bushing in the sway bar. What do you guys think?

    Low Battery Light

    It's not the battery because it is reading just fine with a multimeter while the engine is running. Ill check my alternator.

    Low Battery Light

    Today my battery light came on randomly while driving. ANd then when I turned my car off at my destination, and turned it back on it was off. Then while driving home it came on again and turned off again. I have a 4 month old battery in there, and the terminals and connections are all clean...

    Formula SAE

    Yeah it's only 417 pounds. And we use a Honda CBR600RR motor. It does 0-60 in about 3.7 with launch control. And no we've never ran it without a restrictor. I made tht one on the CNC Lathe and its dead on to our required number. Ill be designing our drivetrain next year. Looking forward to it.

    No brake pressure when bleeding

    So I couldn't seem to find any write ups on here. But basically you want to open up the reservoir, and be sure it is filled past the minimum line (make sure it stays above the minimum line. And then place a hose running into a bottle off the capped off openings to the master cylinder. Then...

    No brake pressure when bleeding

    You need to take the master cylinder out (hence the bench part) and bleed it separately to ensure that there is no air in the master cylinder. If you bleed the lines and there is air in the master cylinder you will not get anywhere.

    Plug and Wires help.

    The only reason I could think of that they wouldnt fit is if your other car was a 420A. They have a different plug size. I found that out the hard way...

    Sometimes spark, sometimes no spark

    glad you figured out your issue, at least you didnt have to replace/do anything big or expensive
  28. pwnzer

    Sometimes spark, sometimes no spark

    Not trying to be a dick, but have you checked your plugs and wires? How new/old are they? Have you checked to make sure the wires aren't nicked or anything?

    battery coolant and break light stay on

    well look at your battery terminals and see if theres any lime build up on there or if they are rusty, pull on the wires to make sure the connections dont slip off. If they do you should clean them up. Baking soda always works well on batteries and you can get terminal/connection cleaning...

    420a fuel filter located?

    the 4g63s are under the hood. ours are on the passenger side underneath the car near the back. It's pretty obvious when you follow the fuel lines from the tank.

    Black soot from exhaust?

    I would agree, especially if it sits for a while, we have a jeep that we only use for towing our boat and a lot of condensation builds up in the exhaust and then a black "stream" of water comes out. You probably have just a little bit of condensation.

    5spd swap... worth it?

    I'm currently working on swapping my 420a auto for a 5spd. If you can find a donor car life will be so much easier and so much cheaper. My problem is there are no donor cars around here so I've been piecing the parts together and finding an ECU from the same year is pretty hard. Also the fact...

    well today I took it into the shop to hook it up to an OBD-II reader (not just a p code reader) and through some of the diagnostics on there everything looked fine. So I turned it off and started it up again and low and behold it started and ran fine and I have yet to have the light come on...

    mods are as profile states. I have a 190lph autolite plugs and ngk wires they have 10-15k on them. other than that nothing.is there any way to tell for sure what the cause of this code is? I have searched and there are so many different solutions that worked for people.
