    `88 crank but no Start (Crank Sensor Dr_EluSivE?)

    ---Everything helps when it comes to tracing problems and tech advice, even a breather at times! ---Thank you for the input keithnra. Now, if I ever have to get at that ECC, how much of a pain is it going to be to pull it? I'll get around to that side and recline the seat, lay down with my head...

    heat in a '88 2.3

    -My 2¢... ---If you can, scrap that POS, stamped steel, FailSafe or stant T-stat and get a RobertShaw, the only name in T-stats I will ever use, for as long as I can find em. Maybe the one you purchased is under warranty. If so, return it and put the $ toward a good one. ---Match your old one...

    `88 crank but no Start (Crank Sensor Dr_EluSivE?)

    ---FWIW, I have been through just about every step-by-step guide on nearly every site and at one point or another ran into a "where does this mention my situation?" or "okay, so how do I test the hall effect?" even looked some over 4-5 times so as to translate the authors' terminology or just...

    Dash lights not working.

    ---I had thought it enough that I was shown by you earlier that Google threw me into the completely incorrect forum... but since not, I've deleted my posts in hopes you can again regain your concentration. ---Thanks for everything all. Hope to also be posting here in the near future.

    tps sensor

    (TPS) ---Make sure yours looks exactly like the one above. The TPS for the 5.0 is not adjustable; As you see from the slots in the mounting areas, the TPS for the 2.3L is. Would hate for you to find you had an incorrectly boxed item after installing it. Not only will you not be able to return...

    How many quarts of oil with filter change?

    ---5qt w/filter and always fill the filter prior to installation. Pretty much all oils are the same, but you'll want 10W30 for our temperatures (howdy neighbor). ---Note: The API rating of CF4 is a diesel rating. IIRC, API C-F will be SG and be very high, maybe the highest, in ZDDP. AFAIK...

    2.3L Newb

    ---Nice explanation! ---Understanding (not you of course) octane would make your description more impacting, JIC future readers think octane is HP booster. Most people think octane is "go juice" like the bottles of additive say they are, but in reality octane is only a dilution which prevents...

    help please

    -Welcome, ---Could be coil as said. Troubleshooting/testing coil primary & secondary voltage is covered in any service/repair manual and if all you have is a Chilton, pay more attention to illustrations than words, since that's about all they're good for. Doesn't matter what year/make/model it...

    how to clean idle air control valve

    ^ ^ ^ He said Simple Green... . . .... Must be either a Northerner or an Ol' Timer cause I thought I was the only one who searches every new store for SG. Good stuff and biodegradable. ---On topic now, that is one of the only things I haven't done to mine and it'd probably do some good for...

    Anyone change oil pressure sending unit???

    ---I wouldn't think it would be any harder than any other engine, as they normally are placed in the same position on most US-made RWD vehicles... unless you consider Genetic Misconception, which we aren't discussing... thank God. ---Looks to me like the usual 7/8" hexed sensor. I know I was...

    "Crank and No Start" Checklist

    ---Sorry I am late. I've ran into this site numerous times and just signed up this week. ---I concur with Red_LX that you cannot just throw parts at a vehicle. There are basics as you probably know, starting with electrical and then moving to fuel... electrical first for numerous reasons...

    Pcv Valve Question

    A Little More Info for Future Readers & Those Watching This Thread ---The new style PCV valve works for a broad range of vehicles, including the 2.9L i6 IIRC. The P/N is assigned by the amount of vacuum needed to move the pintle and not simply the OD of the barbed fitting, grommet end, threaded...

    Just went to get subframes put into my 91 convertible...bad news.

    ---Don't know if you're around, but check your PMs for info on a donor body down here in AL. Don't know what it would take to get it because you can either boy the frame or the body and not both... lol. The start of making it legal up there would probably require the same as it would in Cook...

    Cant get dash gauge cliuster unit off right side to get to gauges

    ---Well, since it's a tech board, don't think it hurts to add info for others who are searching. When and if he comes back, ask him why he didn't respond with a thanks, if not take the time to post his findings. Think it's time to :stirpot: `round here myself. Place looks dead. ---I figured I...

    Cant get dash gauge cliuster unit off right side to get to gauges

    ---First remove the switches. Look on the side that the paddles are on and you will see two notches, where the locking tabs are. Gently push them in while pivoting the paddle side outward. Once the paddle side pivots outward, relieving the locking tabs, pull the entire switch straight out. Then...
