    Car sputters in traffic

    I did a vacuum test like a month ago. I did the Carb cleaner method but im not sure if I got all of the lines or not for an accurate test with that method. but the carb cleaner didn't effect the idle at all. Ill look into chasing with some starting fluid to test for any leaks

    Gauge cluster overlay

    well, the thing about that is, if you squeeze the bulb to hard. the bulb will break. I tried it once and the bottom of the bulb was still in the socket. it still would not come out...:(

    Gauge cluster overlay

    Yeah, it's not turbocharged. As for the bulbs twisting out. I am able to twist the socket out, but I am having trouble disconnecting the actual bulb from the socket. Its as if they are glued into the socket(I know they aren't) If I could get the bulbs out I could actually finish the led...

    Idle issue, car dying

    I looking into the TPS, When I would unplug the tps the engine acted like it wanted to die, so naturally I plug it back in. I guess we can rule the tps out? Maybe unplugging it and plugging it back in will stop it, doubt it.I think I will check for vacuum leaks pretty soon, Ive read that...

    Starting issues - No / Doesn't / Won't Start - MERGED

    I have had the problem of it shutting off and it ended up being the battery post was not tight enough so it caused the car to shut off and not turn back on sometimes. Could be that I suppose, could it be your alternator?

I also scraped off the paint off the back of the needle so the needle is blue too :D lol. though I was a little upset because the bulbs I ordered I guess weren't the right size. I had ordered 74-B but after reading I see that people order 74-BHP3. so I...
