I know that when I close the doors, I can see the sunroof jump and that is when it seems to me that it is leaking because the wat...

coolant level sensor

I reused all the origional sensors so  I know it Has the right ones. I might have forgotten to hook up the sensor though.
1988, are you talking about on the radiator or on the overflow tank?

coolant level sensor

I swapped motors in my beretta and after I got it started, the coolant low light is on. I believe I got all the connections hooked back up, but I also have a bad gauge cluster. Where is the CLS or is it just my gauge cluster bad?

snapped crank

The motor broke it when it started knocking, it just didn't finally lock up until I revved it up. When I bought the car , it had a blown head gasket that I fixed. I drove it for about 6mo. before it died so I don't know how many miles but I doubt that it had 30K. on it

PROM

How can I get in touch with ben/FFP? For the meantime  will the PROM for a '90 work in my computer? It runs with the 2.8 PROM but I want more and the 3.1 prom should use more of the engine's potential.

PROM

I have an '89 GTU that had a 2.8 in it. that engine broke the crank so I replaced it with a 3100 out of a '99 lumina. I reused the intake & FI from the 2.8L. Can I put the PROM from a '90 Beretta that came with the 3.1 in my computer? Or should I get a Hypertech chip for it? If I go the Hypertec...
