Last time I tested, I lived in Gilbert (now Queen Creek). Since my '95 is technically pre-OBD2, they've only done a visual inspection like they do on our '93 & '94. They might have done an idle test (I don't remember, but you're probably right, Mike). Either way, we pass every time.
After 350K miles, the cats on my wife's '93 were hollow - everything was in the muffler, which sounded like a maraca. I left the hollow cats in place and swapped in a new Bosal muffler with a stock tailpipe. Pretty much the same sound as the OEM muffler, with slightly better performance which I...
With shipping, it came to $696.
I have a complete set of leather covers, door panels, arm rests, etc in my '94 that I bought from Shane about 7 years ago. Despite living in the AZ heat, they have held up pretty well. In fact, the leather still looks new except for a tear on the side of the...
Thought I'd bump this thread after pulling the trigger on a set of replacement leather from Shane. I ordered a front row set in brown for my '95 on 4/4 and received it on 4/25. Shane was pretty good about keeping me in the loop with production time and shipping time estimates. In fact, it...
My wife's '93 was having crappy gas mileage issues. Turns out the O2 sensors were bad. No engine light, but codes were stored in the ECU. Two new sensors, and her mileage has gone from crappy (9-11MPG) to sucky (13-14MPG).
I admire your spirit and savvy, but wouldn't it be easier to loosen the engine mounts, raise the engine a couple inches and drop the oil pans? I've had the joy of resealing two oil pans, but never thought much about raising the engine to complete the job. I'm sure if I have to reseal them again...
My wife's '93 had a similar issue on a newly rebuilt engine. Turns out the piston for the bypass valve in the cooler was stuck. Once I pulled the oil cooler cover off and replaced the internals, the pressure was in the "normal" range again.
Aaron, try sticking a deflated basketball or football in the quarter panel. Place it in between the skin and inner fender. Gradually add air to the ball, and it will pop out the dent. Might have to move it around a little until you get it all pushed out.
Question #1 - Depends on how much you drain out of the system.
Question #2 - Reuse your old gear (not a pulley)
Question #3 - After market does support the high pressure hose. NAPA sells PN# NPS 72928 for about $55 street price. No one that I know of has had issues with the OEM hose lasting...
FWIW, there are three major battery manufacturers in the US. One of them, Johnson Controls has about 75% of the market. Brands like WalMart, Autozone, Oreilly's, Sears, Acura, Advance Auto Parts, Autocraft, Western Auto, Tough One, Alliance, American Hardware, Ames, Varta, Blains Farm & Fleet...
