I don't remeber the number of the code, but the equis obd1&2 reader pulled up that code, and only that. When my mechanic pulled up codes, he found map/mass and other wierd things, that were brand new (those just turned out to be a ground) How would i go abouts findin out if my intake is leaking?...

Cylinder Select Error

Either i need better mechanics or i'm just the worst with cars.   Okay, my 87 2.8 bluetta off and on misses. The only code i'm getting is cylinder select error (which doesn't help much). I swapped out the ignition mod (which my mechanic said it prob was) and it did nothing. I had tested the mod befo...

GT Grill and Sunroof Questions

Or will my car be able to still suck in air through my stock air filter locationwithout overheating? I almost think its too much work if i have to hav...

Gauge Cluster

My cluster is bad, mainly my cooling gauge and my rpm gauge. Anyone got one i could buy from them? From what i've been told, there are none for parts cars anywhere else in minnesota. There is one in our favorite junkyard, but its a manual and someone already destroyed the dash and broke all the need...

Neat Trick for learning idle

I just thought of this and thought i'd share it. When we had to change out the ignition module on our 2.8 (supposidly its supposed to be for only 3.1's but ours did it) and then you rev it up and it dies, it needs to learn idle. Here is how you do it. (shops cost money for this!!!) 1. turn car on un...

Coolant Temp

Heres the thing, we JUST got done with my engine swap!!! HORRAY!!! Now... to get insurance on it and drive it... anyways. So, idling in the driveway, i can't get the coolant temp gauge to even twitch. The switch was new, from the other engine though. (bought it for the other engine, but never solved...

BERETTA IN DUMPSTER

Before this event, i was total pro-beretta, but for some reason, this didn't throw me off. Usually i'd get mad but this one was already in the junkyard. I don't have up close pictures but there is writing all over it in yellow paint. I wanted to jump in there for parts though! But the hood was so bu...

BERETTA IN DUMPSTER

So we heard something about a car being in a dumpster on our local 93X radio station. Didn't think much other than that would be cool to see. Well, as we were driving down the highway, BY OUR HOUSE, WE saw it! It was true! I almost died when we came up to it too. Its a 90's beretta with custom?? pin...
