I have the same issue. Try turning the ignition position 2 or idiot lights are on for about 10 seconds and then start the L/C. I find it easier to start.

I recently installed an Alpine ILX-w650 with KTA 450 power pack. Great unit with Apple Airplay. Added a USB to one of the blank cut out on the dash (Next to the lighter).

Hi All, Drive around all weekend and no code. I do live in Calif, so you are correct, tape around the intake will not pass smog. I ordered a new hose and should arrive next week. Thanks all for the help.

Hello All, I tried looking for the same connector, but looks like everything under intake looks fine. I see two connectors going into the engine just above the oil filter. I am guessing one is the coolant temp (1 o'clock) and the other might be the knock sensor (11 o'clock). I also took MoJ's...

Hello Seth, I have 1994 L/C and throwing codes 12 & 26 (comes on and off). Could you please share as to which broken connector you are showing in your hand? I have changed out my o2 sensors last year. I wished I knew about the recall. Also, I recently replaced the plugs and distributor...

Hi All, Here is an update... I tore everything apart. After a close examination, the new pinion seal was way off center. I thought only one section was off, but it turns about about half of the seal was off center. I used a brass punch and 2.5" pvc coupler to center the seal. I also tighten...

Hello All, Thanks for all the information from everyone and PM messages. This is why I love this forum. I agree the snapping sound was probably my cheap torque wrench as I am thinking about what occurred. I am hoping the leak is due to the seal not seating properly and not the bearing. My...

Hello Sarmajor, Thanks for your reply. I followed the diy from this post, and did grease the seal before installing the flange. I think the leak is due the seal not seated properly. I noticed leakage occurs while my L/C is parked. I only drove about 5-6 miles to for a test drive, so I am...

Hello All, On my 1994 80 series, the front pinion seal had a small leak. I finally changed out the seal, however, the leak continues more so. A couple of things happened. I didn't jack up the L/C to change the seal. The FSM said the torque on the pinion nut was 145 Ft lbs. When I was...

You are correct that changing the VC gasket is typically 1/2 hour job. However, you have to remove the throttle body in order to lift up the vc cover over the spark plug tube. While you have the throttle body out, you might as well clean it. I also found changing the pcv valve easier with the...

I just changed my valve cover gasket on my 1994 LC. I didn't have to remove the heater valve. All I did was unbolt from the firewall and moved it around to pull the VC off. The one creative solution to screw back the lower bolts to the throttle body was put a little tape around the 12 mm bolt...

Is there a link to show the step to replace the valve cover gasket on a 1994 L/C? Also the torque specs?

I have a 1994 80 series. Love it, but am having a problem with the rear seats no latching into place. From the cargo area, I can left the rear seats upwards. The latch does not seem to catch. These are the rear middle seats, and not the third row. Have anyone encountered this issue before...

My ML320 had a check engine light and the code was bad MAF. After using a whole spray can of MAF cleaner to clean the MAF and resetting the code by disconnecting the battery, the CEL never came back on. It has been about 10K miles.

Thanks! HA HA HA.. That was the problem.. Darns kids were playing around on the front drivers seat, and they must have turned the dimmer. Thanks for the information!
