    Quick spark plug wire question

    I think I read it was for the 94/95 cars. Any ideas or verification on this vacuum tree?

    Quick spark plug wire question

    Ah, the EGR on the TB. The manifold is off on a table so I didn't think of that but that makes sense. Maybe the other hose (from the air bypass valve) was never hooked up then, I didn't put that screw in the vacuum tree. So the black plastic line I have the hose going onto should be in the...

    Quick spark plug wire question

    Quick spark plug wire question and vacuum hose Q I've done all 8 plug wires, and the wire to the distributor but I have one left over. Is this for the starter or does it go somewhere else? The other question is about some vacuum line connections. These snapped while working on the car in...

    Locking header bolt question

    I just replaced the header gaskets today and I'm using the stage 8 locking header bolts. First, what do I need to torque these things down? There's room for a socket on maybe 2 or 3 bolts, the others I've been using a combination of a 3/16" allen wrench and 11mm open end wrench and getting them...

    Have a groaning-type noise coming from my SN95 brakes, what is it?

    I thought that was a test for the tie rods?

    No, just pull the belt and idle it to see if the noise is still there?

    Need help diagnosing chatter noise

    Do you think it could be something else? It definitely sounded like it was coming from the valve cover and it's a clack more than a tick which makes me want to rule out an exhaust leak.

    Need help diagnosing chatter noise

    Alright I hope we're close to wrapping this thing up. I used the stethoscope today and had the car idling on the stands with the hood open. The clack is definitely coming from the passenger valve cover. I hear it best when the idle is held at 1500RPM and it is a constant clack clack clack...

    Electrical Problems?

    Sounds like the problem I had when my alarm remote crapped out. The alarm coming on makes the hazards go and disables the car from starting. What happens if you disconnect the negative battery cable and then hook it back up? This would trigger my alarm and I disable it with the remote. If...

    Need help diagnosing chatter noise

    Next on my list jrichker:) Gotta get the car on jackstands so I can get under there while it's idling and take a listen. I've held off because the majority of the time I've heard the noise under load and I can't really put the engine under load if it's on jackstands.

    Need help diagnosing chatter noise

    Well I've got 92k on her and I did an oil change tonight with 10W40 to see if it's a lifter issue. If not, I'll get under there and check the shifter linkage before I take it in to a shop. Oil pressure seems okay (from the stock gauge anyway:rolleyes:) but an aftermarket oil pressure gauge is...

    Need help diagnosing chatter noise

    Thanks for taking a listen. It's harder to hear in the first clip, but between 2 and 3 seconds in the 2nd clip you can listen for a machine gun noise. I agree it's hard to hear above the exhaust and the fan..

    Need help diagnosing chatter noise

    I finally caught the noise on video, got it in neutral today as well as driving so maybe it's not in the driveline? Video descriptions tell you when in the video the sound comes in. Video 1: YouTube - Chatter 1 Video 2: YouTube - Chatter 2

    Need help diagnosing chatter noise

    Thanks for the reply. The pedal and shifter feel fine, I don't get any vibration through them so maybe it's something else? There's no noise in neutral or when I hold the clutch in so I think the TOB is okay, I get the sound at speed, or if I'm in gear cruising and take my foot off the gas...

    Need help diagnosing chatter noise

    *Update* I let my dad drive the car yesterday and he thinks it's clutch chatter. Is there a way to tell if it's the disc or should I just go ahead and replace everything? I'm looking at the King Cobra kit.

    Removing valve covers

    You don't need to remove that A/C line. It looks like it's in the way but it's not. When you have the intake bolts off, the intake will come off with plenty of clearance. Per my Chilton's manual: Upper intake manifold bolts are 12-18 ft-lbs. Then when everything's all buttoned up, start the...
