    No start, no crank, no click from starter

    Success!! finally fixed things........ as for now anyway. After car earlier started I let it run for a bit to charge and warm things up. Turned it off, turned to restart and everything was dead again. Everything comes on like it is ready to start, but no crank. I removed the battery...

    No start, no crank, no click from starter

    It started Don't know why......car thawed out in the garage overnight. Went to start this morning at first, nothing happened, only a very faint one time tick, no clicking. Tried it again to see where the sound was coming from and suddenly there was a louder sound, like a grind sound that...

    Very frustrating brake pad install...

    Those stupid pins on the caliper are a PITA.....more than once I have had to put heat on them to get them to move....now I make sure I grease them up good to keep them from rusting up.

    A/C makes engine run hot ----- fixed

    For a couple of years my engine would run hot when the A/C was on....did not matter whether normal or max....the temp gauge would creep to hot and sometimes I would have to turn off the A/C to keep it from going red. As soon as I turn off the A/C, the temp would go back down to normal. I read...

    Changing my ball joints, what else do I need?

    While you are down there, I would replace the tie rod ends as well. Also, you will need the ball joint press and a ball joint seperator....(pickle fork)......they are free loaners from Autozone. Use a jack to keep the spring from killing you!!!! Air tools are a must...not sure how...

    question about dizzy and timing...PLEASE HELP

    Ummmm.....if you can't rotate the dizzy because of wire issues, then obviously you have to pull and reposition it....duh!! However, if your timing is right and things still run like crap, then there is something else going on besides "off by a tooth".....In my experience anyway.

    question about dizzy and timing...PLEASE HELP

    Again, perhaps someone else can confirm...there is no such thing as one tooth off....you only need to turn the distributor until the timing is right....if it is off by a tooth that only means rotate the distributor a little more. I had to install a new balancer to get timing right because all...

    question about dizzy and timing...PLEASE HELP

    I have replaced my dizzy two times and each time I have no idea what tooth it was on or how it was stabbed. I have read before that there is no such thing as off by a tooth, it is only a timing issue. Before I took the old one out, I marked the position using a marker, then matched the...

    front shocks problem

    When I did my front suspension, there are about a dozen bushings on each side plus a couple of bushings holding the sway bar, and of course in the strut tower. I had thuds too until I starting replacing bushings. I think the thud for mine was the two worn bushings that hold the sway bar to...

    Car won't always start

    I dealt with that for a bit. Intermittent stall and sometimes wouldn't start. Code said PIP. Bought a new PIP (stator, it is the part that the rotor attaches to on the distributor) but could not get the old one off the distributor (stupid gear would not budge), so I bought a reman dist from...

    Getting Steering Rack Off

    If I remember right, no I did not have to remove the lines to change the bushings. The big black bolt you mentioned is not removed at all....there is a smaller bolt on the side of the steering column, about 6-8 inches from the rack, loosen the bolt...this allows the rack to slide down and...

    random shutdown?!?!?!?!

    I had the same thing, it went on for a bit. At first I noticed it when driving. Like you wrote, my car would stall from time to time and start right back up. Then it got to where it would stall and not start for a few mins. I bought a new PIP for $20 or so but I could not get the old one off...

    overheat, fan won't turn on

    Thanks again. Last night I picked up a fan "motor" from Autozone for $60. The guy wanted $70, but I told him it was $59.99 on their website so they matched the price. I miswrote earlier when I said a fan was $60, meant to write fan motor. Anyway, hardest part was getting the fan blade off...

    overheat, fan won't turn on

    Thanks Hissin, the fan is only $60 from Autozone, so I am going to pick one up. Over the last few weeks I seem to recall the fan was squeeling a bit, so I am thinking it finally gave out. If that is not it, then I will look into the connector.

    overheat, fan won't turn on

    Had a heat issue for a couple of years now when running the A/C....sooo, when running the A/C if it was getting too hot I would just turn it off and things were fine...I just live with it. Now, the radiator fan won't turn on at all. How do I tell if it is the fan motor or a switch or relay...

    Fixed my stall problem.....I hope

    For about a year now, I have had an intermittent stall. Typically it would happen from both a cold start or warm start, when backing out of the driveway or in a parking lot....the car would just stall....each time it would start right back up and either run fine or stall 1 or 2 more times, then...

    Idle/Stall problem

    Thanks Hissin... I will give the idle speed a try....I have seen your link on this board explaining how to do it...I will also look for a vacuum leak, but I have no idea where to start....I will take a look on this board to see what to do. Thanks again.

    Idle/Stall problem

    Also, when it is stalling and restarting, I get a pretty good gas smell...not sure from where, but it is certainly smelly.
