I think Chilton uses the compression gauge method, that method is out of date. There are marks on both the crank and cam that you can use to line up to #1 TDC. The mark method is simpler and faster. Line them up before you take off the belt. Use a flash light to help you with the mark on the cam through the little hole in one of the spokes. Good time to change out the oil seals (cam, oil pump and crank) and water pump while in there. Also make sure you use a new tensioner

No, you should not be adding additives like the camping stove oil that may harm oxygen sensors. You should have driven it more before testing. Go ahead and use up the old gas and fill up from a busy station. I hope you used a "free re-test" smog center. If you need oxygen sensors you should use the Bosch planar type. They are more resistant to contamination than the traditional thimble because of the design and they helped solve a P0420 low converter efficiency problem and avoided a new...

I would like to see a drawing or picture of that. Can't quite picture how the pipe is positioned.

This is designed to give the engine better low -down torque and basically works by causing the intake air to speed up as it transits down the long runners,..when it hits the combustion chamber along with a squirt of fuel from the injectors, great turbulence occurs, causing a better or more...

I went to check out subarus (of course) in my spare time and tried to add the greatest subarus in the world: GL DL Loyale and Justy. It doesn't show up in the listings and it is very difficult to edit withut one long line spanning the page (no line break). Is there instructions?

It behaves ok when warm, except for slightly rough upshifts, but when cold it really hesitates before going into gear. I believe the previous owner dumped it on me for this reason, as a mechanic told me it was Toast. We had a drain and fill done, with some improvement, and plan on another in the Spring. So we can wish each other luck...

Is engine 4 cyl or v 6 ?

Thanks, I believe that's the info I needed. The car does have a remote start, so I will connect the wire to the swich and make sure it is working properly. On Mar 11, 7:06 pm, "Jean-Guy Paradis" <pjean...@videotron.ca> wrote:

Yeah. Buy a Humvee at GSA auction. With all the money you save on the purchase you can buy lots of gas and maintenance, roll over all sorts of objects - animate and inanimate, and make the body and tranny shops happy. It will be great for the economy and a good use of your social security checks. They'll also love you in Motown.

P1175 seems to mean different things to different manufacturers. If it's the cam sensor or other covered engine internal parts, then your car may still be covered under the 5/60 powertrain warranty. If so get it fixed for free. Robert A Rivard wrote:

Yep. I got it. It is because of the ’children lock’ is on. Thanks "nicknick" wrote
