    Camshaft Position Sensor

    Any of you guys know where I can get one of these for my 94 3.8, I took my car to discount and it threw the code saying it is bad. I guess I will try and replace it although I read some of you had problems with aftermarket plugs which I have although the car ran fine after I installed them...

    Need help-Won't idle.

    Hey mine did the same thing after I rebuilt, It turned out to be a small vacuum line that I thought was windshield wiper fluid line. Check all of your hoses!

    What is wrong

    Where is this orifice tube at, and it will cause my car to heat up? If I dont use the a/c will the car run colder? I noticed on the highway everything runs great.

    What is wrong

    Im pretty sure the compressor is kicking on and off, because it sounds like it when the car is idling. I never popped the hood when this is happening. My temp gauge moves around alot thought with the a/c off. Do you think the car is overheating?

    What is wrong

    So if the gauge is f'd up, the computer will think the car is runnin hot and shut off my a/c? Or if I push the pedal too far? Also, I have an amp runnin my 6x9s, when I brake the volume seems to go lower. All these problems started at the same time, do you think there is a problem with a...

    What is wrong

    When I turn on m a/c, it is cold but then it gets hot. The temperature gauge fluctuates with the a/c, the gauge reads between the m and the a on normal when it is hot, and then the gauge goes back between o and r when the a/c is cold. I am worried that my car is overheating but dont know if I...

    1994 engine swap

    I would be more interested in a v8 swap but if the six is easier than why not for 40 hp? As well as getting a newer low mileage engine

    1994 engine swap

    I am also interested in this swap. I heard the trans is the same and the body is practically the same so besides the computer tune, what else is needed assuming you have the whole engine? You dont need a different radiator right, I heard that is needed for the 5.0 swap.

    Just Redid Head Gasket Quick Q's

    Alright, I found a vacuum leak. Its not on the pcv tube, but on the tube that connects to the opposite valve cover that looks the same. It has a small hose coming off of it, and I cant find out where it goes. I plugged the whole up and it is idling now, just really rough. The smoke stopped...

    Just Redid Head Gasket Quick Q's

    Update: When I was taking the intake apart, I unbolted the throttle body from the manifold and just set it off to the side. The IAC was never removed but it was unplugged and there is a good possibility that both the IAC and throttle body might have gotten wet. Could this mess anything up...

    Just Redid Head Gasket Quick Q's

    Sorry I would have but I am really really broke and couldnt afford it. I brought my battery to have it tested and the machine pulled up bad battery. If the alternator is bad could that cause the car to act like this?
