    Car bucks violently back and forth

    Yeah, that timing issue might be it. I didn't think of that. I'm not positive what my current timing is, but I know I move it all over the place. I'll let you know. Thanks again.

    Car bucks violently back and forth

    Hello, My car has been bucking violently back and forth after I let off the gas. The car only bucks when I am only lightly on the gas or off it completely and it does not do it in all gears, although I forget which it does it in. The problem also goes away when I get back on the gas, but I...

    Water Temp gauge Problem

    Thanks, I do plan on replacing the sender. This will be the second time I;ve replaced it in two years. Do these parts simply have short lives, or do you think something is causing it to fail prematurely.

    Water Pump Question

    Thanks for the replies guys. I don't have a camera at my apartment, but I can get one from my house when I go there later on this week. There wasn't much rust there, so I think the seal wore out. I checked the hoses first and the only hose that was bad was the lower radiator hose, but it...

    Water Pump Question

    Hi guys, I recently noticed a lot of steam coming from behind the water pump pulley and decided to replace my water pump. The car seemed to be running very hot (my coolant temp gauge decided to go at the same time so I couldn't tell just how hot it was, however I was getting very little...

    Water Pump Problem

    I checked it after I posted and it was low. Dumb of me should've been the first thing to check. I havn't run the car yet with the new coolant level. I'm guessing this is why the pressure in the upper hose wasn't as strong as my other car. Wouldn't it only steam out if it was overfilled though?

    Water Pump Problem

    Hi guys, I'm having a water pump problem. I can't fully tell if I'm overheating because the gauge stopped working today as well, which is posted in another thread. When I came home from the gym today, I saw steam coming from my hood. Looking at the engine, I noticed a lot of steam coming...

    Water Temp gauge Problem

    Hi guys, I'm having a weird problem with my water temp gauge. When driving, it does not move, stays at the very bottom of the gauge, no matter how far I drive. When I turn the car off and take the keys out, the temp slowly goes up to around what it should be, halfway up the gauge, if I drive...

    No spark while cranking, spark after crank stops

    Thanks. Just to confirm the tfi module is the wire clip that attaches to the distributor right? I unplugged this and checked it and I only got 8-9 Volts. Does this mean I replace the whole harness connected to it?

    No spark while cranking, spark after crank stops

    Yes I have power up the coil. How would I short the terminal on the starter solenoid?

    Also, I have an aftermarket MSD dizzy so I'm not sure if I have a pip sensor

    No spark while cranking, spark after crank stops

    Tnajks for the quick reply. I also failed to mention that the car suddenly died on the highway and has not started since. Would this have any effect on your diagnosis? I will check the igniton switch using your method when I get home.

    No spark while cranking, spark after crank stops

    As the title indicates, my motor will not spark while the motor is being cranked, but it sparks once after the cranking stops. Is there some kind of sensor that controls this. I thought it would be the crank sensor, but after checking the Haynes repair manual, there is no crank sensor...

    Code 19 Question

    I have trouble code 19 on my car. I checked the relay to the fuel injectors and it's good, over 12 volts. The next thing I was told to do was check pins 37 and 57, where are these pins. If they are on the computer how do I tell which ones I should check because when I overhauled the computer...

    Codes Question

    I got code 11 (system pass), when I pulled codes yesterday. However, I also got a few other codes, TPS out of range, Idle too high, duel pump relay system, etc. What does this mean? Are these things bad or does the code 11 supercede them? The other codes I got were 53 (Throttle position...

    Advice on engine rebuild

    If the piston is that damaged, can't tell extent of damage because there arn't any pics, it's likely it damaged other components or the block. Did the motor run at all before you stopped diving it, ie after the head gasket went? If a large piece of the piston did get destroyed, it would have...
