    Car just shut off

    IF you have a bad ground cable on your car it will die. Getting power is only have of an electrical problem you need a good ground. especially since the coils and injectors have a switching ground that tells it to fire. A way to test it is to get a jumper cable and attach only the neg side to...

    Compression Test

    Put about a table spoon of oil in each cylinder and rerun the test. If it jumps up dramatically, especially 2 and 6, its the rings. I would run a leakdown test as well if you have the tools or know someone that does.

    WTF...lost my power steering

    I was repairing my o2 sensor wire at my school and when I went to pull out of the bay my power steering was almost gone. I say almost because its not as hard to turn it as the engine is off. So what could have happened? I took it on the freeway today and it felt normal but when I got off it was...

    60-1 max boost

    I will be installing a ebay 12x24x3 core IC and 2.5 hard pipes. I thought it would be more than 20 psi though. A stock ct is good for 15 and Ive heard of people running 22 on a 57 trim so I thought the 60-1 would be good to 25 or so. I guess I was wrong.

    Steering Wheel Removal With AIRBAG

    you should let the car ssit for 24 hours with the battery disconnected to disarm the airbag. Unless these have the marked harness that you can disconnect under the dash. I dont know for sure as mine has no airbags. Leave battery off when connecting it though as it could go off then as well.

    stupid question but need fast answers

    I removed the 3 nuts on the top and the one on the bottom but it looks like you have to remove the upper contrlo arm to get them out. I think Im just overcomplicating this but its really stuck.

    Relay question

    I pulled a daigram from all data and it said its an a/c magnetic clutch relay located on the pass side. I jumped them both and one fan turned on so I figured the other was for the clutch.

    Relay question

    I know what sensors your talking about but thats not what I wass looking for. The connectors Im talking about have a 5 blade female plug that looks like a relay goes to them. I believe one is the clutch relay that goes to the high pressure switch you were talking about.

    Relay question

    do you happen to have a picture? Is it just an end terminal that a relay plugs into, or does it have some more wires coming out from it the previous owner might have ripped out?

    Ignition timing question

    I got those numbers from using the advance dial on the timing gun itself to line the marks up on the 0 mark. I dont think it was accurate at all thats why I wanted to double check it with my gun that I know works (I was at school and used their gun at the time). When I first put the light on it...
