My 96 would occasionally do the no start thing - no click, no clunk, just nothing. I had pulled the starter and replaced the contacts, or polished the recently replaced contacts and that seemed to help. BUT then it would start doing it again a couple months later. I checked the NSS and found...
Since you're willing to put some money into it, it would be worth organizing the trip to Stockton to get the thing inspected by someone who knows what they are looking at. Then you can decide what path to take. A 3FE is a very reliable engine bolted to a reliable drive train, if its in good...
A while ago I did a test with 3 wrenches: A new cheap 1/2" clicker, an ancient Craftsman 1/2" clicker and a new cheap beam wrench. All three produced results that were shockingly close to each other. I think I was torqing to about 75ftlb so that might affect the test. Clearly not a...
When the cats are plugged up, the manifold vacuum will drop to near zero long before the engine gets to high rpm. It can be tested in the driveway with a vacuum gauge.
I thought it was common to replace an old drier with a new drier when servicing AC systems. Why would you use an old drier from a junkyard? Do you bake the old drier to drive the moisture out before reusing it?

On my '96, the front light and middle light were on separate circuits operated by the front doors or the rear doors. I'd rather have any door turn on both lights so I tied them together. Are all of the 80s stock with 2 circuits? Never seen another car wired that way.
