Is your car back yet?

Actually, no. I have been so busy with my classes this week, that I haven't had a chance to pick up the car yet. I'm probably go pick it up tomorrow if I have the time.

Wild, I did think there could have been a chance for something getting clogged. I sure didn't think that the pump screen would be one of those things. I never had a problem, but I'll keep that in mind. I not big on Lucas oil because the demo that they had at the parts store made me think that the o...

Have you done the Sea Foam clean yet? I had 213K on my 90GT and it ran strong. It would start with a boom. This 3100 I have now doesn't start like that. I did put Restore in on many oil changes(every one for two years) and when I thought it was good enough I put Slick 50 in. I hear you on the cold,...

Cool, glad to hear that it's something easy. How is it running? Its running as good as a 3.1 with 170K miles on it can run, to say the least. LOL. I decided to get the hose changed by my mechanic, because of how cold its been outside. I should get the car back tomorrow, so I'll let you know how its...

Dang man that sucks. Did you use a thread sealer or PTFE tape? I not sure that you really need it but I never take a chance on that kind of thing. Apparently the metal pipe that the heater hose connector is connected to changes to a rubber hose once it gets close to the firewall. Its leaking from t...

Just checking on the brakes. Guess you have been keeping them in good shape. Fifty bucks is cheap! Brakes are good. Over the fall it got new pads, drums, shoes, wheel cylinders, etc. Bad news is I walked outside this morning to find a huge puddle of coolant under the car, so apparently I have a lea...

Update when you get it done. How are you brakes doing? My Brakes? I really haven't ever had any brake problems....why? I got annoyed cutting my hands open on the damn exhaust shield yesterday when I was trying to extract the fitting, so I just drove it up to my mechanic in town and he fixed it for ...

Dang man you just can't get a break. I like Lisle stuff, they build some much needed tools. LOL, no kidding! Its just one problem after another with me. I bought the tool today for $10, I will probably work on the car tomorrow when the snow subsides. I really hope this thing doesn't give me too muc...

I found this tool that apparently is specifically made for this particular problem This and will probably order it and try it first before I do anything drastic like that.....

As some of you know (those that have been helping me), I have lately had alot of problems with my '90 3.1. I finally managed to fix the car the other week by installing a coolant temp sensor....and apparently one problem caused another. I noticed a coolant leak the other day and traced it to the hea...

Might have been a connection issue too though.... cant rule that out. I did check the wiring going to the coolant temp sensor and it seemed to be fine when I installed the new one. I've been driving the car every day since I changed the sensor and so far no issues *crosses fingers*. I'll keep you g...

Awesome :) The shitty thing about this, is I could have eliminated this issue at the beginning if I had access to scan the car, I would have noticed a bad or flukey coolant signal in the scanner. Actually I ran some diagnostics using my buddies' Snap-On scanner. We couldn't come up with much becaus...

If he had digital gauges and only one sensor, then (not to assume) but I would think he would notice that the temp reading would never climb... But then again who knows. You do have analog gauges right? Yes, I do have the analog gauges. -I installed a new coolant temp sensor in the car today (the o...

I've had a coil produce part throttle skips and lags, and then at WOT or idle it appears to run fine. This was a Accel coil though... not OEM ones... those do rarely fail. If you can get your hands on a extra TPS I would also recommend that, but after doing the coolant temp sensor. Okay, I will ins...

You have two sensors, One on the back cylinder head that sends a signal to the dash guage, and then there is on on the cooling neck coming back from the upper radiator hose, thats the coolant temp sensor that sends the signal to the ECM to perform fuel mixtures and spark retard and such. The one ot...
