You won't need a spring compressor, since you're putting new lowering springs, on new struts, and don't have to disassemble the old struts.

If I had a head here right now, I'd set it up and make a video of it getting done. You people don't know me, what I'm capable of, what my experience has been, and what other innovative ideas I've used to solve problems in the past. I've lost count of how many times people have told me I couldn't...

Would it really matter if it's a knockoff, if it works good? I mean, it's not a critical part we're talking about here.

That's what I'm saying!:aigo:

Apparently you're not getting what I'm saying, IJ. so I drew you a picture. Not trying to be an asshole, just showing cause I guess I wasn't clear enough in my description.

It's unfortunate that autozone is one of the only places to get GC, and we have to give them business because of it. I can't stand going to any autozone, as the people they hire all seem to be idiots.

Well, you got something connected wrong then. It can happen.

That was dopey to go no tems. New Illuinas with new springs, and the tems is sweet. And overall, it really is simple to replace the struts, and springs.

In thinking more about it, it may be better to use a length of some old audio cable if you can find a thickness that would just fit into the guide. It would tend to center the stem, and make it easier to get it reinserted.

The fishing line, or string will work, with a judicious application of super glue. If you can get the line and the valve out of the spark plug hole, as said previously, you can glue the line to the very top of the valve stem, after cleaning any oil off. If done carefully, you should be able to...

Like I said, the paint I used, worked great. When I repaint my car, I'm definitely using it again. Single stage enamel rocks IMO.

You could have a mismatch from the same shoot, if you don't prep perfectly.

It's not gonna be exactly at 3000. Many factors can contribute to it being a little different than exactly 3000 rpm.

And what's up with you jacking your own thread?:biglaugh:

I just answered this for someone else, but, it's probably in limp mode, and that due to a problem with the AFM. The ECU senses something wrong in the AFM signal, and uses limp mode to keep you rolling without blowing up the engine. Check the connector, as they get dirty, and sometimes come...

I'm sure you're talking about the housing. Take it off, and clean it, and then paint it. I painted mine gloss black. Looks great, but I don't have a real good shot of it to show you.

It sounds like you're in limp mode. If the ECU senses a problem with the AFM, it goes into limp mode so you can drive it safely home, or wherever you're taking it. It may just be the plug loosing contact. These cars are notorious for doing that. Take the plug off, clean the contacts, and...

According to the TSRM, they have to be heated. Mine came right out, with a little tapping, no heating involved. No apparent damage was done either. But keep in mind, I was not reusing the pistons, or pins, so keeping them in perfect condition wasn't a necessity when I decided to do it the easy way.
