Ok, confirmed that the coolant was leaking as the overflow was empty! Can’t tell where the leak is and booked an appt at my local shop. I filled the radiator and cleared the codes for now. The lights went away, but will keep eye on it. I wonder if that was the cause of the codes?

Just happened tonight… without warning and nothing wrong with the drive….. the lights come on! The codes I got from tech stream are P0455, C1201, C1340 and C1569. I am not too familiar with tech stream other than doing a health check. I hear it may just be a gas cap issue, but want to double...

Yes, forgot to mention.... the car is currently bone stock other than the suspension.

Going to correct the front end soon... Does anyone know how much adjustment there is in the torsion bar? adjustment bolt full in vs. full out?

The fronts were install incorrectly without moving 5 splines over and they are sitting at 19.5" with adjusting bolts in mid range. That will get fixed next week. Just wondering..... if the torsion bar are installed correctly with the 5 splines offset, what would be the lowest ride height I...

Thanks for everyone’s input!! Sorry forgot to clarify. It’s only the rear that has a difference. I will fill up the gas tank and see what’s it look like after.

Just installed the springs and torsion bars yesterday and drove around a bit last night. Today I took a measuring tape and noticed there's .75" difference being the driver side is higher. Driver is sitting at 23.75 while passenger is at 23". I think the springs were 10mm higher on the diver's...

I will be replacing my AHC system with conventional suspension next week and would like to part out the AHC system. The ride was jarring which points to globe failure, but I don't know which globe yet. There are 7 graduations from Hi to Lo. The accumulator and senor work just fine, both for...

2005 LX bone stock other than weathertech mats 😂. AHC delete coming soon, next in line will be front bumpers.

I have done 3 flushes in the last 3 years since I owned it. The first flush 3 years ago came out like a black emulsion... did a second follow up flush and fluid was like a pink milkshake. Third flush six months ago and fluid was again dark, foamy, but no milkshake. The last I checked the...

Thanks for everyone's input so far. Yes, I do have OME torsion bars on the way. What should the stock height be? I thought I read somewhere that it should be 19.5 and 21 for front and rear, so I thought mine is somewhat inline with a half inch difference? Yes, the AHC system is very good...

I have to say that the AHC is a good system that lasted 240 miles. The jarring ride points to failing globes and sometimes the car settles down quite quickly causing the pump to level the car more often than before. Feels like it's time to move to conventional suspension set up. I will miss...

It’s been a couple years since my last bleed. My last bleed has pink milkshake with an emulsion that settled in the bottle... see post 40’s my latest bleed also gave me foamy fluid, however there was no emulsion after the foam was gone, fluid was dark tho. after the bleed, I noticed that the...

I think I am also having issue with my 2005 LX with 230miles pulley. My serpentine belt came off the pulley last week and I was able to get this back on as the belt did not have any cracks or damage etc. There are no wobbles etc. with the engine running so I think the belt is ok and everything...

Great thread! I followed the procedure there to do a fluid exchange on my '05 LX and was pleasantly surprised at how easy it actually was. I disconnected the AT cooler hose right at the grill, didn't even have to crawl under the car. Then I connected vinyl tubing to the hard line with a...
