    $3,500 and I still fail smog

    may I be as bold as to say (1)cap-off the EGR,put a plate under-it,just completely take it out of the circuit(2)bypass all the thermo valves to the distributor,get your vaccum from a venturi.source. then see how it runs ......your results will be easier to interpet

    windshield wiper arms"SLOP"

    gentlemen and mudslingers alike, the time has come to fix the windsheild wiper- arm "SLOP".I mean the internal stops that keep the arms on the window glass itself while they are working.I've tightened down the easy to reach nuts that hold down the arms to the axle shafts,and its better...

    High Oil Pressure

    SR.GRINGO ,what is the weight of the oil you are using? try 5w/30......ALSO a guage indication error or calibration shift is a real possibility on your instrument..... Get a direct reading from the port that your oil pressure transmitter is screw in-to,and compare it to specs. If no relief ...

    High Flow CAT... no thermal sensor needed?

    I recently replaced my cat on my 85 FJ 60 for high CO (1.5%)at 2500 rpm ....HC was fine. airpump was working well. A NAPA easy to bolt -on regular size cat has 2x the amount of substrate inside. It runs about $85 and solved all the emmissions problems.It doesn't however have a port for the...

    How do you know a carb is going bad?

    jason ,there are I believe 5 different circuits in the average carb. starting,idle,acceleration,cruise,max power. Your immulsification tubes and float level also play a keen part. fuel pressure and acceleration pump give you the GO-NOW FACTOR. filtering the fuel also counts. So with all these...

    Compression Numbers (What Next?)

    Kevin,first things first,when you did this compression check(1)was the engine warmed -up? (2)was the throttle left open during the entire test? (3)was there plenty of battery capacity during the cranking?......if the answer is yes ,then.....adding oil to the cyclinders was a good idea and...

    Compression Numbers (What Next?)

    Put each cylinder at exactly " tdc @compression stroke with both valves CLOSED", and pressurize them with about 100psi .Listen to the intake and the exhaust manifolds. A hissing noise as the air escapes will tell you about the condition of your valves.Back to your original question,with MARGINAL...
