Just like 90LS400, my radio wasn't turning on except when hot. To repair it is like 100 bucks just for diagnose...

So i ordered one from replacementradios dot com for $100 and paid $30 for shipping to canada but even this one won't turn on.

Now i have 2 dead pioneer headunits looking pretty on the dresser and a hole in my dash and wallet.

so frustrated.... :cries: :cries:

Is something wrong with your transmission?

I have 180K on mine, never flushed. Only drain and fill a few times since new. Shifts like butter.

Like many, i change my own oil, takes under 15 minutes.

check fuse

A little easier if the car is over 15 years old

...and no you cannot trust the dealer either!

Needle mechanism lube dries up becoming very viscous

Can anyone recommend a place I can purchase 4 factory chrome 16" rims for my car? Used is OK.

car-part.com or ebay comes to mind

thermostat stuck open

Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts.

Good to have DIYers from my hometown. Check PM. Cheers..

Factory paint is like 7 coats plus couple clear coats, very high quality. Maaco is ok. Better to keep it same color it came in when repainting.

Not a good idea to spend too much on a paint job. Diminishing returns and all...

Its usually something simple. You might have killed or disconnected one coil causing to run on four cyl.

or maybe put the spark wires on wrong. or blew a fuse.

Good thing now you know it was the alternator all along.

You dont need denso alternator and you don't need the dealer. You can get a nice alternator for under $200, put it in yourself or ask the alternator place.

PS never leave your car unattended at a place you don't trust. Get receipts for everything.

Yeah i think so. You could just do it yourself, its easy. Best of luck..

Don't forget the distributor caps and rotors.

What is beam? Sounds like french for shaft. You might be getting beamed by the dealer.

Be careful, don't trust the dealer.

I like your attitude, don't let a few bad apples ruin your experience at LOC. As the saying goes: Empty cans make the most noise.

Most of us are mature and accepting. Welcome :)

your spelling spelling and grammar are atrocious.

Second second that

Your wife changed it and forgot to tell you!

Could you be more clear? It was low on gas so it spluttered, you added gas, then it was ok. Now it does it on full gas?

ignition coil wire?

Awesome! Thanks for the photos :D

I think its 26mm.
