When eliminating the heater core and the fiav in the throttle body you take away a key part of the coolant system. You remove a thermostat bypass loop that helps keep the coolant pressure down and the water pump from working extra hard as it is fighting to pack more and more water into the...
in a fairly recent thread someone posted a picture of a thermostat housing that they had capped off the front holes with blue allen head plugs.I cannot find this thread and am hoping someone can help.
Upgraded my computer and caps is no longer accessible due to compatibility issues.need the part number for the rubber elbow that goes between the fuel filler neck and a 1g awd fuel tank.thanks

The previous owner decided the best way to do a wire tuck was to cut whole branches of the harness off. Now that i have a new interior harness im tryng to get everything back to correct.the connector is off the harness that plugs into the ecu. right behind the ecu and the mpi fuse
So i swapped all my wiring from a 92 into my 90 and the connectors are different for the steering column controls and i have the 92 wheel and controls but no key.The ignition on the 92 wheel is already screw drivered it looks like so i might be able to turn it to the acc position to remove...

I just switched form a 90 engine control and engine bay wiring harness and have a question about the alternator. on a 91-94 gsx does the harness have a plug that connects to the brown connector on the actual alternator? or does it just use the wire that comes off the post?
well just had a huge moment of relief when i checked the calipers and rims for clearance on the car.next step is to finish the wiring harness install and start it.
looking to see how its supposed to be installed. the flat bar is what is confusing me as it looks like it isn't needed and i don't want to break the thing because it was put in wrong. thanks for the help.
