    speedo not working

    It doesn't work at all. I can't find anything in my lousey Hanes manual about the speedometer. Does anyone have an idea as to where to start looking for the problem. Is it a cable type or wire?

    help with hose

    I have this small (maybe 1/4 inch or less inner diameter) hose that I can't see where it goes. It comes off the bottom of the large rubber connector that connects to the front of the turbo. I guess it brings in the fresh air from the air cleaner. The rubber connector is sort of an s shape and...

    correct coolant temp lead?

    I am getting very close to having this "basket case" together. It has sat since 99! Anyway, I have two leads with blade type connectors that go on sensors. One has a green wire with a red stripe, and one has a yellow wire with a green stripe. I am not sure which one goes to the sending unit...

    Where does this hose go?

    Got it hooked up. There are actually three vacuum feeds on that large line that comes down from the front of the plenum. I am sure glad you guys helped me out on that one as I had connected the fuel return hose to the largest one (that points down at about center of the plenum). Duh! After...

    Where does this hose go?

    Thanks. I was talking about the small vacuum hose. I guess it is time to figure out how to put a circle on a pic. I will do some tracing to see where it connects to the bottom of the intake. Would that be on the plenum or intake manifold?

    Where does this hose go?

    I am not sure but think this is some kind of valve (blow off valve?) operated by vacuum maybe? My bigger concern is where it leads to. I traced the hose across the engine and down between the head and intake. It hangs down below the intake but I am not seeing where to hook the hose to. Thanx

    Help with these items?

    Thanx for the pic-it helps a lot. I just don't find the wires that come from the tranny. Maybe whoever made this thing into a basket case took them off! What year is your car?

    Help with these items?

    I am wondering about the disc (2pics) I found just laying in the engine compartment near the driver's side. It has a rubber diaphram and some oily/carbon coating and is about 1 1/2" in Dia. There is a slight possibility that it is from another car. I also included another pic that shows not...

    Where do these go?

    I plan to connect it (the coolant hose) but can't see the fitting at the block. Is it underneath the intake on the block? If so, about where on the block?

    Where do these go?

    Looks like one more piece of the puzzle is solved-the wires with terminals for ecu grounding. Thanks. Still wondering about the white connector in first pic (left one) at the lower right corner of the pic. Also, I don't know why there would be a coolant hose on the driver's side as the...

    Where do these go?
