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...
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...
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?
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...
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...
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.
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?
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....
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?
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...
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.
So some of you may find this interesting/ heard of it before. I am a freshman at the University of Michigan, and I am a member of the Formula SAE team here. We build a car from the ground up every year, and compete at competitions at MIS and Formula Student Germany.MRacing 2011 UMMA...
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...
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.
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...
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?
woomer you have a 1g 420a I can not speak for those, as I have a 2g as to BLINKY you have a 4g63 I also can not speak for those as I have no experience with either.
I believe my auto is at 6700 however I am swapping to a 5 speed and I know the rev limiters are different 7400 comes to mind. Thats weird that all of yours are different. :hmm:boostin are some of them 4g63s and some 420as? Im going to guess the 8200 is your AWD and that would account for the...
or find a friend/relative/neighbor/hobo etc. with a code reader. Theres bound to be someone you know or someone around you that will let you hook it up for a couple minutes.
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...
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.
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.
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...
OBD-II Trouble Code: P0443 Evaporative Emission Control System Purge Control Valve Circuit
that may help you, I have no experience with that code, but that site has helped me before.
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.
