you need an Allen key in the end of the stud here to stop it spinning

The 80 series bushings have the same outer diameter as the 100 but use an 18mm bolt (vs 14mm). The OE upper rear control bushing part number is: <48702-60090> But it is not a North American part number and even you might not be able to order...

On one of the selections you can see the live numbers it's displaying. I set it to that and watched one sensor go to a specific point and stay there. That's how I knew it was bad. I don't recall exactly which one, but I set one of the 7 pages...

I've deleted the EGR on my 96, if you want my sensor you can have it. DM me if interested.

No, the temp sensor screws into the upper manifold just above the end of your screwdriver, in in the photo above. There's a drilled hole behind that sensor that goes all the way through to the other side. That hole has to be open in order for...

I think that the gas passage blockage due to carbon buildup is more often the culprit than a bad sensor, unless you're able to verify the sensor has failed. The upper manifolds I've opened have all been plugged. Carbon is a really good heat...

how do you do that?

Certainly pull the EGR temp sensor. It will likely be caked with carbon. When I had 401, I used a brass brush and removed a couple millimeters of carbon. I also cleaned the passage as best could. Afterwards the code was gone. Prior to that I...

On the throttle body if I remember er there are 3 metal Elbows. On the 1fzfe. 2 come from the egr and I forget where the other comes from. The 2 coming from my egr were fully clogged with carbon deposits. I had to spend roughly 1 hr with a...

wellll pretty much any electrical vacuum valve will work there provided that you are willing to change the connector..... I fixed my P0325 and P0330 code after a long struggle to find out the cause (please see details here: Another Knock Sensor...

In this case, not significant. Can try whatever, with the sensor replaced by a 4.7K ohm resister, every time the ECU looks, it sees the perfect reading, so never codes. This works, even with the EGR system disabled.

I fully instrumented my system with a breadboard, leds, oscilloscope, thermocouples and that type of stuff. Over time I narrowed the problem to a sticking vsv when it got hot hence the intermittent problem that was difficult to figure out. It was...

Mine was solved by taking the throttle body off and cleaning the roughly pinky-finger sized port on the throttle body that mates up to upper intake manifold. These ports are well known to get fouled with carbon build up over the years. You should...

The vacuum line is not sold in bulk, but in precut lengths. You need a yard to replace all the lines on the engine; the part number is 90999-92004. That'll get you 950-mm of tubing. The other tubing pieces are: 12261-66021 and 12262-66021...

finally got the horn to work. The wiper of the horn on the 70 is on an inner diameter then the 80. Using an 80 steering wheel required some mods. A wider ring and a 3D part to pick the two tabs that return the blinker.

Thanks so much for this tip! My sunroof rail broke on the rig by side last night when closing and would not seat properly, back edge was way lower than it should have been. I took the glass off and adjusted the lift brackets with a screw driver...

After 12 years the Magnaflow unit needs to be replaced. Check out the O2 senor studs...or what's left of them. And I never drove my 80 when salt was on the streets around here.

Are you able to check the settings or wiring setup on your head unit? There’s usually a wire that has to be connected so that the antenna operates when the unit is turned on. My antenna only operates by using the up/down button on the dash...

Nope it’s still really annoying I cleaned tb too new cable lubed it and everything

One year later: the 3/2/1 tar/linseed oil/grease mix has held up great. So, another, bigger batch for this winter. 20 liters should be just enough for all my old cars.
