    1990 Convertible top install

    Thanks Generik. I think some of the specs are a little different but yea, they're the same. I appreciate that. I hear you philly I've searched high and low. Nobody here in Tulsa will touch for less than 5 bills. I must be a tightwad cause I think that's way too high for doing a job that's part...

    1990 Convertible top install

    Ok, I've heard all the horror stories of doing this job yourself but nonetheless, myself and a buddy are going to tackle this thing. I think with some patience and beer, we'll get it done. When I got the car, the top was already in disrepair and the frame broke so I have nothing to reference. I...

    Running rough and rich

    I've never thought of painting the plenum like that. It actually looks kind of cool. Jrich is right though. Get that intake into the fender well. I recommend the bbk. They perform great and have that ominous "whistle" when you're coming out of the throttle. Everyone knows your 5.0 is breathing...

    1990 cold idle problem. Pulled codes

    Ok, I figured out the egr problem. It seems that whoever had this car before should have let someone else take care of thier mechanical needs. Both of the heads have the reducers installed in the egr outlets on the heads and the front crammed full of silicone sealant. I had to put a reducer in...

    1990 cold idle problem. Pulled codes

    I have a 90 LX that I'm rebuilding. Engine seems to run great when it's warmed up. I used to have a hard time keeping it running so I put new plugs, wires, dist cap, rotor,etc. Much improved but still dies cold. Then I changed the IAC and it greatly improved. Now it only dies a couple of times...

    1 Quart too much in Aod trans

    I'm not a professional mechanic but I've always been told that you check the tranny fluid level while the engine is running at operating temperature. Also to adjust your TV just right, disconnect it from the tb and the loosen the black connector so the cable slides freely through it. I think...

    My daily driver is down. Need help please....

    I went back through the checklist again. I got to the part about the relay next to the computer. I didn't see any relay next to the computer located in the passenger kick panel. I do have a f/i relay under the mass air next to the f/p relay. I changed that with no luck. I know this has to be...

    My daily driver is down. Need help please....

    No hissin, I don't open anything I don't understand. I had the ICM tested and it passed. I installed it back on the car. I will go through the checklist again. If anything, it will give me some good knowledge of the car but I'll get there eventually.

    My daily driver is down. Need help please....

    I went through it the best I could. I'm no wiz when it comes to electrical so I may have boneheaded something. The only thing I really have is a DVM. I did see that I'm getting 12v to the injectors though. I did notice a reply to jrichters' post by willysteve that said to check the 10uf...

    My daily driver is down. Need help please....

    There's a fuse to the EEC? I can't seem to find that one. Where is it? Or is it a fuse link? I'm about to throw in the towel and haul it off to the shop and pay mega bucks go get it running.

    My daily driver is down. Need help please....

    I have a 92 that has me stumped. I left work one day and as I pulled into the street, it died as if I turned off the key. The obvious went through my head. Ignition switch, coil pack, icm, etc. I have another car I'm restoring so I robbed some parts and had the icm tested. This car runs so I...

    Rear end noise, where shall I look?

    U-joint could most likely be the cause. Open your door while inside and listen to the underside while going from R to D and listen to it. If a u-joint is bad, you'll hear it or put it on ramps and chock it and crawl under and try to turn your drive shaft by hand. Shouldn't be any excessive play...

    Fuel issues

    Thanks, I was planning on dropping the tank next weekend. This tank does have some rust in the bottom I noticed when I put the Walbro in but I didn't have another tank and the car is my driver. I'm wondering if the FP strainer might be clogged. I have another tank to put in it now and a new...

    Fuel issues

    I'm having some fuel problems on my 92. The fuel pump comes on when the key is on but it stays on and won't pressure the system. When I'm under the hood, I can hear what seems to be pressure escaping somewhere near the rear by the firewall. Suspected FPR and changed it but to no avail. Problem...

    Park brake adjustment...

    I put new brakes on my 92 and I have brake drag on my rear brakes when I apply the brakes. If I back them off, the brake drag comes back in a couple of days, I'm sure due to the auto adjusters. I have a haynes but it isn't clear to me. I can't find anywhere to adjust the park brake. It doesn't...
