    There is not much going wrong. The system is clogged with something for sure. Pressures equalizing in the morning does not mean it will work now. It will be the same issue again if you force the compressor ON. Expansion valve and dryer at the...

    I looked up some YouTube videos and all of them had about the same steps that I followed: - hook up manifold - pull vacuum on just middle/yellow line - open HI and LO side on manifold and let vacuum pull for about 20 min - Result was about -28 in...

    Thanks for the help. Was really an icebreaker for me to see what was out there. Back to the rot!

    Appreciate it! Yeah the fbody has a 427/T56 in it. It's been parked since I split the input shaft on the trans a couple of years ago (T56 Magnum is waiting to go in with some power adders).I agree, shouldn't be too hard of a repair on the...

    Anyone else have the Maher power steering setup? You must be registered to see element. Since I put it on it wiped out a pump and a brand new rack shortly after. Them pump just blew the o-ring separating high and low so I don't think it was the...

    Did you pull a vacuum on the system with a vacuum pump after opening it up? Did you flush the system or add any oil to it?

    From what I remember, Jonathan started and ran the site for awhile and then let Kim take over the hosting (after a crash or something) Kim was in the Northwestern Europe countries (Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden or Norway) and disabled. Something...

    If anyone wants to back out let me know. My power steering is giving me a heck of a time since putting in the Maher kit... If the design is to blame I can't be going through racks and pumps monthly...

    Much better this time, thanks.I assume that voltage measurement at the OBD2 port wasn't with the engine running. If it was there's a huge drop between the alternator output and the OBD2 plug which could explain the Scanner complaining or you...

    That thing is looking so good! The f-body is a sweet unit as well :thumb: bummer about the fenders.. at least the damage looks minimal and not in a spot where it will draw much attention. Shouldn’t be too bad of a repair!

    I don't know who that is.Sorry to be cryptic but I remember the forum being dark and dreary but lots of ECU tuning. Looks like "Jordan" ran that. Not sure who Jordan is either.You must be registered to see element.

    I still have plenty of maintenance and performance parts to install when I get some time. I fixed some rust areas behind the rear bumper and plan to tackle some rust areas in the front in the near future. I installed a Turbosmart Eboost...

    Should I try and kick it on or do you think it won't matter if there is a blockage even if I were to force the clutch to engage again

    So far the car has been somewhat reliable. I drive it to lunch a few times a week.One of the coil packs went out, didn't take too long to figure that one out.Had a major fuel leak between the engine/firewall. I had overlooked a dry...

    That looks about right. Both gauges are reading the same. Compressor kicks on low side should be maybe 30 to 40psi and high side 150 to 250 depending on outside temp.

    I still have yet to install the carbonfiber fenders because both arrived damaged. Working with the company to file a shipping claim (happened three times). After the last time at least the passenger side was undamaged. So now I think I'm going...
