    7MGTE 1989 Won't Start

    Car was running fine. Was starting each and every time. Lately it began to be a little rough idling once it was started, then yesterday, I could not get it to start. It cranks fine, but will not fire. I have checked the grounds, as I got a code 11. All grounds are present and clean. The...

    86.5 Wrap Around Water Pipe

    Just bought an 86.5 NA, this isn't my first rodeo but I have not seen this before. The wrap around pipe that feeds the heater core is capped off on the drivers side with a welded cap and the hose runs to the firewall from the passenger side. Usually it is just the opposite and the cap is a...

    Won't start...removed push button start and has clifford alarm

    There are a couple of wires mated from the Clifford to the factory alarm box...the install looks pretty good....so if it started before I removed the push button and now it wont does that mean it was fubar before and the push button was a bandaid?

    Won't start...removed push button start and has clifford alarm

    Ok, I know, you are going to tell me to remove the alarm...but I am not sure that's the problem. Heres the story...bought a car with rod knock. It had a push button start that worked. To remove the push button, I took the wire off the starter and the one off the positive battery terminal...

    Dash Security Light is constantly on

    Found the problem....when the turbo gauge was taken out, there was a jumper wire put in where the battery gauge replaced the turbo gauge. That jumper was placed on the security tab instead of the correct spot. Now all is good, both the battery gauge and the security light work as they...

    Dash Security Light is constantly on

    Car starts and runs fine...all other systems seem to run well. The only gauge that seems a bit off is the voltage, it reads low and I know the battery checks at 14 and my turbo timer says volts is about 14 as well. I have seen the wiring and it is straight forward, only thing that the light is...

    Dash Security Light is constantly on

    Forgot....there used to be a high end security system on the car that I took out because I did not have any of the instructions or controls. The PO had disabled all the door locks, which I added back in and they now work with the key and the lock bezel. I also had to add locks to it because he...
