Ok. We all try to save money. I get that. However, we aren’t qualified machine shops.There’s more to heads than flatness. Are your guides within spec? Is the flatness within tolerances? Are there invisible cracks? And a whole cornucopia of other things they check for.Next...

Find where the Cam sensor goes into the ECU. Gently touch a probe to each end of the two wires and have someone wiggle them. If you drop continuity, or you have no continuity, then likely that is your problem. New parts have occasionally been bad too. New stands for never ever worked. Get a...

When you say rough, is it a shifter block or is it grinding going into gear? I am not up to date on the latest and greatest lubes, but I have used Mobil 1 oil in my trans for years without incident. Or, if you prefer, GM Synchromesh fluid. Now, that being said, shifter block is more...

Take a good quality multimeter. Set it on the Volts DC scale. Put the black or ground on the battery - post. Check the voltage at the positive post. Crank the car and see what the battery is holding at. Remember, a fully charged battery is 12.6 volts at rest. A battery that is either...

Use a test light to see if you lost the 12 volts to the injectors or the drive circuit. That way you can choose a course of action. Check ALL of your fuses. If memory serves me correctly, there's an engine fuse that should be looked at. Let us know what you find so we know which way to...

Not likely an issue. If you can, and assuming it's not a wideband you can watch the o2 sensor and see where it is running. If it is staying consistently above or below 450 mv you could have an issue. It should dance back and forth. If you have an air/fuel ratio meter, it should be around...

Taxes and bad harmonic dampers. Two sure things in life. Make sure no parts of the shredded belt get behind and up into the timing belt. That would be bad mojo. If you are unsure, you might have to take off the cover just to cover your assets. Better that than the nasally whine you could...

You have to have three things for an engine to run. Compression, fuel, and spark at the "right time" Any one of those missing and you are not going to run. If you have wet plugs, likely you've lost ignition. Get a 12 volt test light and pull an injector connector. Hook your test light on...

My all time favorite theft deterrent is the one on the SUX 6000 from RoboCop. A few of those and they wouldn't be stealing cars. I also have toyed with the straightened treble hooks that could be fired up through the seat with air cylinders when someone tries to start the car with the wrong...

Hi.SRS or supplemental restraint system, can set a light for a lot of reasons. Like was said before the clock spring could be damaged. I've seen the sensors on the front core support be bad too. Anything that the SRS module senses as a malfunction will set it off. Do the right thing...

Just out of curiosity, what was the "fix" ?

Assuming the transmission is ok, I would check where the cables hook to the trans to see if maybe the brackets came loose. If not, look at the cables to see if one had failed. You can try to shift the transmission after unhooking the cables to verify if it's on the trans side or not. One...

Without actually hearing the noise, it would be difficult to respond. However, these transmissions are usually bad for input bearings and counter gear bearings. If either starts going bad, and they will. You can encounter problems. Are there any howling/growling noises? Being as it goes...

Anything worth doing is worth doing right. It sounds like a daily driver. I would keep it as close to stock as possible. Anyone can tell you that the more you mod it, the more you will be tweaking and adjusting. However, it all depends on your patience/money.Good Luck

If you are sure it's bled right, and you are not losing fluid, it can only be the master cylinder. All else being correct I assume. Sometimes, it's real difficult to get all the air out. But if you have a pedal and are losing the pedal occasionally, I would look back to the master cylinder...
