  1. i know this is really old, but maybe you still have the hydraulic radiator fan motor?
  2. hey, ive searched all over and cant find a rebuild kit for these.... i was wondering if anyone knows where i can get an alternator rebuild kit to do it myself. im a broke mechanic that cant afford much more on this money pit i got myself into.... any help would be greatly appreciated thanks in advance.
  3. went and got a pump from the local scrap yard, put her in turned the key on and off a few times cranked her over and vroom vrooom shes alive
  4. do local auto parts stores sell it? or is it dealership only?
  5. my tranny dipstick shows type T-II where can i get this on a weekend?
  6. the pump is getting power, checked it with my volt meter, i even put 12 volts straight to it but it doesnt do anything, the car sat for a year and a half before i got it im sure its gummed up
  7. i need a fuel pump. car runs great on ether. anyone know where i can get one cheap? local parts store wants 215 bucks
  8. the engine cranks it just wont fire, i called the local lexus dealership, they said without the key with the chip it wont fire up, the key i have is the key for unlocking doors in the event you lock your keys in the car
  9. well the only key i have right now is the key that is for making new keys i guess? the car had a blown radiator, i replaced the radiator, checked timing, and checked compression. car wont start though has fuel pressure also i have the parts to change the timing belt and idlers and tensioner, plugs wires caps buttons, waterpump, and all fluids and filters, i just want to see if it will actually run before i dump 500 bucks worth of parts in it to find that it still doesnt work yanno?
  10. hey i just bought a 1990 ls 400 it wont start, i checked its in time, could it be that i dont have the key that has the buttons on it?
  11. the condensor is infront of the radiator, the condensor takes heat out of the refrigerant, i would check to make sure the condensor fins arent bent and that the condensor is clean
  12. the compressor doesnt care what refrigerant you use, just the oil. you cannot mix refrigerants its like oil and water, also you must vacuum the system, its illegal to dump any large amount refrigerant into the atmosphere! my truck has 250K miles on the stock compressor with 134A, you need to find a mechanic that knows how to properly convert a system
  13. Yes, we vacuumed it for approx 30 min befor charging. We added about 3 ounces of PAG oil. Have you had a chance to put on the new compressor? Keep us updated. JPI i work on refrigeration units all day, i would like to know what your head pressure is, high side or red on your gauges. the charge you weighed in from what the sticker said was the weight for r-12 or for 134a, i know you put 134a in the system from what i read, but the system will use less freon with 134a than an r-12, your probably over charged, also you condensor coils are probably dirty and plugged with bugs, clean it out really good and see if that doesnt help your problem.
