    Heater/Blower motor problem

    I've noticed that the Selector switch (A/C, Vent, Heat, windshield defrost) is completely vacuum driven. So, this led me to wonder if the blower will operate with the motor OFF, but the ignition switch in the ON/ACC mode. In other words, should the fan blower work if the motor is Not...

    Mystery solved... With the installation of the carpet, the clutch pedal travel ha been reduced (ever so little). This resulted in the Starter/Clutch Interlock switch not being fully engaged and as such, the starter would not fire. To fix this I adjusted the piston stop clip. The car...

    Where can I get this convertible part ??

    These 2 parts ensure that the door is aligned upon closing on a convertible (1992). The female part resides in the door jam, while the male is fastened to the door. The female/receptacle side contains a plastic insert which I believe is meant to reduce the sound of these 2 parts coming...

    Calling all tech wizards, here's a doozy....

    Calling all tech wizards, here's a doozy....

    You're back in the Timing department again. When the SPOUT is disconnected, the computer cannot provide spark advance. In this condition, the engine timing will be running on your base timing...which should be set to 10 BTDC. Unless your cam was degreed by the engine builder and/or you...
