89 GT Rear Brake Lines Along Frame

89 Beretta GT, rear brake steel line is leaking just in front of driver's rear wheel. Leak is right at the black plastic retaining clip that holds the two steel rear brake lines and the fuel lines. I replaced the fuel lines and these brake lines in the summer of 2003 with a GM assembly that came pre...

Re: clunking

If the rhythm that you describe is proportional to wheel rotations, I would think about replacing the driver's side CV half-axle.

Re: Need help finding part

If an OE part cannot be found, my approach would be to buy a Dorman HELP double-ended vacuum nipple that fits into the rubber grommet, then to cut back a bit of the plastic line and use a small piece of rubber vacuum hose to interface to remainder of the plastic line (or to run all rubber line to re...

Nice to Have Forums Like This

If you've ever posted diagnostic help in this forum, take a moment to be recognized. Sure, there are all of the active threads that people respond to, but what about the help that someone gets via an internet search? Here's my point. A guy I work with has a beater 99 Escort ZX2 that threw a code P17...

Re: Battery issue

If my car sits for more than 2 days without being started, the battery is dropping down to about 10 volts, yet when I boost it, it goes right back up to 13.5 give or take and I can turn off the car and fire it back up. I had it tested before and there is a minimal drain but I am thinking the batter...

Re: oil pressure sensor use

damn, you had to take the oil filter adapter off to change your oil pressure sensor? that sucks! I only took mine off when I did my 3400 swap, I'v been able to change the sensor without removing the adapter. On my 89 GT 2.8L, I did, which is why I pointed it out to the OP. I think if there was an o...

Re: oil pressure sensor use

Rock Auto has an oil pressure gauge sending unit for $14, so if you are going to do this job, use the right part (not bad, as I think I paid a lot more at Advance). I needed to remove the cast metal oil filter angled piece to get enough room to work on it (needed to buy a gasket when I reinstalled t...

Re: 89 GTU AC wont kick on

Low pressure switch on my 89 GT is on the compressor body itself. Also, I believe that the PS hose has a cutoff switch in it as well (supposed to cut out the AC if you are doing parking lot maneuvers). This is a case where you need a wiring diagram, it would help end some of the guessing. I haven't ...

These are EXCELLENT diagnostic write-ups to help you find the leaks and how to fix them. I've had leaks on both sides of ...

Re: Tube leaking anti-freeze on passenger wheel well?

That is definitely the coolant reservoir overflow tube. If you look at the side of the reservoir (the side facing the serp belt) you will see an indication for "FULL COLD". After the car has sat, say overnight, that's where the level should be. If it is much higher, and then when the syste...

Berettas on Speed Channel's "Pass Time"

Anybody else stop on Speed Channel to watch "Pass Time"? Channel surfing the other evening, and I got to see a 96 Beretta tube chassis drag racer do a run in the 7's. Tried to find it on YouTube to post, not there, but there is a video of these guys railing over the "fail" of a 9...

Re: New Egg auto parts?

I think I've posted this before, and if you have a local Advance Auto Parts, buy the parts online and use "pickup at store". There are usually nice discount codes at retailmenot.com, or my old standby of "P20" for 20% off seems to always work. While I do love RA, Advance seems be...
