1989 Corsica manual window off track.
Driver window. What's the best way to go about this? Does anybody have any diagrams or write ups? This is the Corsica that is all stripped out on the interior so I was about to just go ham on the interior door panel and just get in there. But i figured I'd ask you guys first lol.

Re: Headlights and dash dimming and brightening.
I figured it out guys. The problem went away for a whole week after I replaced the battery. The problem came back, but instead of flickering lights, voltage would just drop low and stay low. The problem was intermittent, so when I finally caught the symptom, I could hear the alternator chirping. So ...

Re: Just put in new fuel injectors
Ok so I figured out. Dropped the column retaining bolts and now I just need a steering wheel puller and the turn signal switch I have to order online. By the way... I didn't unhook the dashboard gear selector cable and now its all wonky so if anybody has any quick tips on how to readjust that that w...

Re: Just put in new fuel injectors
Ok just got done testing fuel pressure. Yeah something is up, only 5 psi with the key forward, only goes to 10 psi when attempting to start. Car beguns to cycle when using engine starter fluid into the intake. Its gotta be the FPR or fuel pump. What do you guys think? I should definitely change both...

Re: Just put in new fuel injectors
Ifixalot is spot-on, Code 12 means ECM is in diagnostic mode, meaning you are retrieving codes and whatnot -it isn't actually a "malfunction" Code at all. On an '89, that vacuum leak would cause the engine to idle-up a little, MAYBE stall during driving under certain conditions, and possi...

Re: Just put in new fuel injectors
Code 12 is the normal code, meaning your engine is not running. You must wait for a code to flash three times before it will move on to the next code. If you only have code 12, there should be no light because of that. So you must have another code stored. In diagnostic mode, it will flash once, th...

Re: Just put in new fuel injectors
I doubt that little piece would stop the engine from starting. You probably disconnected something by accident or coincidentally, the engine control module died. 6 month old gas should not be a problem either. Okay, I'm going to work on the car this weekend, I might pop the plenum off and retrace m...

Re: Just put in new fuel injectors
Oh and every day after I did the injectors about a week ago, I was running the car for 20 minutes or so, just to keep things flowing. But for the couple days before yesterday when I replaced the AC compressor control valve, I had not run the car.

Re: Just put in new fuel injectors
Even small Vaccum leaks can throw off idle. Try plugging the line to see if that causes any improvement. I did notice an improvement when placing my finger over the broken valve piece. It was hissing pretty loud. Yesterday I got the replacement part from rock auto. Put it on and plugged the hoses i...

Just put in new fuel injectors
Finally making headway on my 1989 2.8 Corsica. https://www.beretta.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=24943 replaced all six injectors. No leaks from the fuel rail. The car Idles much better and doesn't die anymore. It still Idles rough though, and the SES light turns on (Code 12 only). I accidently ...

Good hooking spot for 1989 Corsica?
Going to try and get this thing on a dolley to tow to a shop. Replaced some things, but running out of time to get this thing back on the road as a third vehicle. See thread: https://www.beretta.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=24943 I'm wondering if the car will have the power to get up onto the dolley al...

Re: 1989 2.8 Corsica Horrible Idle/Stalling Code 33
Still working on this thing... So far I have replaced: IAC MAP TPS 02 Sensor Plugs Wires Coils Also just recently dropped the tank and purged all the bad gas. Fuel pump filter sock looked good, the pump itself buzzes. The car is less stable at this point, stalling after less than a minute of erratic...
