I recently took my dash apart to clear out a dozen or so dead mice from my blower basket. Since putting everything back together, my diagnostic port, tach, temp and gas gauge have all stopped working. Blower isn't working either. The oil light is now stuck on as well. I've checked tach and data...
Your car has a number of drain tubes in the drip rails, sunroof, and hatch. All clog easily. I don't have my manual handy so I can't say exactly where they are, but from experience I know this is likely what's happening. I've cleaned mine out with speaker wire in the past, then poured water to...
Wow that's not bad. I remember lots of good upholstery shops back in LA. They are far and few between here on the east coast. Looks like I might have to find a pro. Thanks guys.
Anyone tried to restore their seats? The foam has gone flat in my factory fabric seats and I'm practically riding on springs. It's also possible that mice have eaten it all. I don't want to replace them because the fabric is perfect. I'd prefer to fix them, Just wondering if anyone else has...
Never seen a t25 in a 1g before. An odd choice, but I'm sure it works. Someone might have picked the bones of a 2g for spare parts to get this one running.Looks like there is a clear cover on the 2g maf keeping dirt and moisture out. I've never opened mine up so can anyone tell if it's been...

To recirculate that BOV you can pick some flex tubing up at home depot. I believe it is 1 1/2 inch. Maybe someone else can chime in with the exact size. That should clear up the bucking you feel when accelerating.
No luck here with the Motive either. I modified my cap and attempted to seal it with RTV. Fluid still found a weak spot and dumped everywhere. In the end, Speedbleeders or gravity seem to be your best bet on this system.
