    I have a strange stall/no start issue, need advice.

    Hrm...so the "SN95 brakes" and "stereo help" threads were asking for opinions, and not actually asking technical questions? Interesting, in that case...I was looking for opinions as to what my problem could possibly be. Either way, you could have simply ignored my thread or given some...

    I have a strange stall/no start issue, need advice.

    But alas.... Is this a backfire? Gears or Cam? what block would you get? Tune up parts (which to get?) 3.73's v 4.10's Aftermarket Stereo Help? SN95 brakes quick question and Door handle linkage? "Technically" these are all "technical" questions or topics...

    I have a strange stall/no start issue, need advice.

    Sounds about right. After thinking about my habits, the past few weeks I have only really driven the car to and from work, about 2 miles....where as the two times it did this to me I had driven further/longer. I think I have my old TFI laying around, so I'll swap them out and go get the one on...

    I have a strange stall/no start issue, need advice.

    Thanks for your help....I'll be sure to add you to my Christmas list. If you want to get "technical"....there are quite a few "technical" questions in the "non-technical" forum. So "technically" speaking, some topics are difficult to gauge whether or not they are "technical" or...

    I have a strange stall/no start issue, need advice.

    I have been having this really odd problem that I can't figure out. I'm hoping someone might have had a similar experience. It started a few weeks ago, car was running fine. Went into a store, came out and the car wouldn't start. After a few minutes of trying to start it and tinkering with...

    interior paint question

    I found that brake cleaner works great on interior panels. I normally use it to clean trim parts before dying them anyway, but when I was preparing my trim stuff for the 88, I found that some of them had already been painted/dyed...the brake clean took all of it off and left me with perfect...

    Rear gas tank and front tilt hood pics..

    That's original and some great fabricating....BUT, have you ever gassed up with a rear fill like that? Total PITA.

    bent fuel line (pic)

    Mine did the same thing, easy fix. Remove that section from the car...disconnect it from the rail and the under body lines. Using a razor, cut the end fitting off above the kink. Then cut up the fitting to peel off the plastic line from the fitting. Now heat the end of the line and push the...

    Tires for $100?

    Nexxens are actually not bad, Hankooks wear faster than Goodyears. Under $100, you aren't going to find much. To be honest, as stykthyn suggested, a good set of Nitto 555s are the way to go. I too was always looking for inexpensive, and ended up going through tires too fast because they...

    86 gt a/c hvac panel

    I have never seen an 85 AC head, but I wonder if this will work.....I did it on my 93 AC head, and other various vehicles. The colored film is on the back of the face plate, and the actual icons are on the front. This allows you to carefully remove the colored film from the back. I used an...

    Need some eec help what do I do.......

    I remounted my PCM back where it belongs, drilled two small holes inside my glove box to run the USB cable and to mount the switch. Clean, you don't see anything unless you open the glove box, even then all you see is a USB cable and a switch knob.

    New Metallica anyone? Here ya go!

    I've been listening to this album for over a week now, and I have to say it is the best album they have put out since Justice. Not comparing it TO Justice...just saying that it is a thousand times better than Black, Load/Reload, and St. Anger. The biggest problem to me, like many older fans...

    Where to buy parts online... who has truly free shipping?

    I usually buy from Jegs....always get great service and awesome prices. All though this won't be a popular opinion, I always check e-bay first. I find a lot of good deals on new, brand name items. Especially with so many people trying to start e-bay stores, you can usually find pretty good...

    Insuring an ex four cylinder car.

    I actually asked Geico when I went to insure my converted 2.3. They told me it would be pointless to try to insure it as anything other than a 2.3 because being an 88, the book value isn't any better for a 5.0 vs a 2.3.

    Smoke from steering column

    +1 I would say it is the ignition switch, there was a safety recall on them because they would burn and possibly catch fire. If you disconnect the connector to the switch you should see signs of burn and molten plastic in the connector and on the switch itself. It is a safety recall and...
