    Need advice about getting rid of mouse stink!

    I've already vacuumed and cleaned every interior surface, removed the back seat to vacuum and bleach under it, and bleached all under the trunk liner. I've even cleaned the engine bay out. Now, it primarily comes back if the air gets put on recirculate or I roll down the window while at a drive...

    My 255/50-17 Nitto 555's

    Got them installed on Friday, cleaned the car up on Saturday, and snapped some pics earlier today.:) Feels a lot more solid and "planted" to the road now. I'm looking for excuses to hit twisty roads just to test them out.:D

    Studdering and no power between 1,500 & 2K rpm...

    ..then it comes alive when it hits 2K. This is all part throttle driving and it really doesn't matter what gear it is in. The studdering also occurs very mildy at idle, once it's warmed up. I did a search but could find anything quite like this. :scratch: Thought I would probe for ideas...

    Can I just plug off the canister purge stuff?

    Like the title says, it's been giving me fits and I don't want to mess with it anymore. Unless I have to, of course. I did a search, but couldn't find a specific answer to my question. :bang:

    Need some help from the other Summit radiator people.

    I had to get a new radiator from Summit, long story, and I'm trying to get it installed better than it was in before. What I need to know is, what do you do about the ABS controller? The way it was in before, had the rad. too far toward the battery and trans-lines for my liking. I can't...

    How bad would it be running if....

    the two front "filament post things" on the mass air sensor were just about black? My car is out of commission until I can get my radiator fixed, or replaced, so I decided to clean the MAF. The two front posts are ridiculously dirty. Would this have caused my car to start idling badly and...

    Odd results from code scans.

    I've been having this problem where it wants to lope and jerk at idle and while rolling at idle, but it seems to run fine the rest of the time. I ran codes and got a code sayingthat "intake air temp. is higher or lower than expected" and "lacked of heated air indicates lean condition bank 1"...

    Intermittant vacuum leak?

    The car behaves fine for a while, but starts loping and missing at low speed like it has a bad vacuum leak. Seems to only do it after it's warmed up. Any ideas, it's driving me nuts. :confused: :bang:

    Decisions, decisions. Bassani or VRS catted x-pipe. Looking for experience and input.

    After four years of the same exhaust, I've decided it's time for a change. Besides, I'm just plain tired of the stinky, dirty exhaust fumes. Has anyone gotten either of these x-pipes recently? I'm particularly curious about the Bassani BX one, if they all have the small, metallic substrate...

    Anyone else's Summit radiator develop a leak?

    I took my car to a local shop today to get my X2 balljoints and bumpsteer kit put on. While it was up on the lift, I was looking around under the car, inspecting this and that, and came across a couple of leaky spots near the side tanks. They said it wouldn't be any trouble to epoxy it. But...

    Who makes a good deep transmission pan?

    I'm looking for about 3 extra qts. I know Mac makes a somewhat reasonably priced one, but I'm unsure of it's quality. There's also the TCI and B&M ones, but they're pretty pricy for something like that. Anyone have any input into this? :shrug:

    Setting up Summit overflow. questions.

    Should I put the fitting for the hose on the top or bottom opening of the canister? I'm thinking that the top would make it difficult for it to pull coolant back into the radiator, unless I pre-filled it and I'm not sure how much to put in (afraid it may try and fill itself up too much while...

    Anyone using an aftermarket overflow tank?

    My stock one is leaking pretty badly, and I suppose there's no good reason to get another stocker if something nicer is out there. I've been looking at the Canton one since it accepts the sensor, but its $120. Anyone have any ideas?

    Is there a "thinner" direct replacement fan for our cars?

    I don't really care for how close the fan is to the water pump with my Summit radiator. It has about a 1/4 of an inch, but it might seem less cluttered with a thinner one. I've noticed that Fluidyne makes a slim fan and there are various other ones in Summit. I just can't find anything on...

    Waterpump gasket leaking, should I just replace the pump while it's off?

    Considering that it'll go out eventually, like everything else seems to, does it seem prudent to go ahead and get a new one now? I'm also wondering whether or not I should get a new timing chain assembly, or do the stockers tend to be good for a long time? I'm going to replace the balancer at...

    Dead fuel pump or relay?

    My car just died while idling last night after running fine earlier in the day. At first, it would start but would sputter and die immediatly. After a while, it wouldn't start at all, just crank. Tried the switch in the trunk and the pump would prime weakly. It got started once and ran like an...

    Won't start in PARK, but will in NEUTRAL. Any ideas?

    Went to the gas station just a few minutes ago and, out of the blue, when I'm about to leave the car won't start. No clicking, no strained turn over, nothing. Does anyone have any idea as to what this could be, or has this happened to anyone else?
