I've got my car torn apart to replace the old (original??) coolant hoses with new silicone hoses from JerrysGaskets.

What's the latest consensus on the reinforcement spring in the Engine Coolant...

Re: Alternator R/R-Gaskets

No need to remove the plenum for alternator R/R. Sure, there?s more room if you do pull the plenum, but its do-able without.

Just need to pull the throttle body extension (air horn) and oil...

Re: intermittent problem - car starter dead, no start

Another vote for solenoid contacts, I?ve had similar issues as you describe, but not since I pulled the plenum and shined up those contacts. I had been dragging my feet on that as the solution, but...

Re: Rough Running - Ignition Coil out?

Like the bypass line Marc Haibeck sells? Wouldn't I also need to block at the injector housings to get the full "easier and quicker"?

Re: Clutch Replacement in MI?

Thanks for the replies - I agree, best to err on the side of caution and get this dealt with relatively quickly, rather than drive it and create more of an issue later on.

Clutch Replacement in MI?

Clutch is slipping under high-ish loads in my Z (i.e. 4th gear from 40mph full throttle). Seems OK for daily-driving, but not sure for how long.


Any suggestions for places to go for clutch...

Rough Running - Ignition Coil out?

Fair question. I?ll admit the injectors were installed prior to me owning the car, so I?m running a bit on hearsay when I say they are Bosch, also I?m not sure of what was involved in the...

Rough Running - Ignition Coil out?

Out driving this morning and all of a sudden the car (1991) changed character pretty severely under load. Sounded much more boomy (low frequency) and felt like it was missing. Got home and idle was...

A/C-related Squeal (Belt?)

Hi All -



I've noticed that when I first turn the A/C on, I get a squealing noise when I start to drive. Usually only lasts for the first 50ft or so. Most obvious in 1st or Reverse as I let...

Re: 1994 water pump replace advice

Pay attention to the bolt locations. There are a lot of different bolts on these things, so I used a cardboard template to keep track of each one’s position.

On the coolant refill, it might be...

Re: Alternator

Ah, yes. Throttle body remove would make it so you wouldn't have to remove the oil sender. Probably makes it easier to access behind the alternator for (+) terminal too. Many ways to skin this one ;)
