Re: Anyone good with body rust?

My bodyman cut out the rust on my back quarters (didnt look bad till you started grinding) welded in new metal and then used lead fill, very little bondo. The bodyjob came out perfect, I cant believe how straight the body is. Lead is the old fashioned way to straighten things out & lasts forever...

Re: mx3 problem! Need Help

Did you check your Distributor Cap & rotor? You might also check the 2 valves Behind the engine near firewall, sometimes they can stick. You can spray some loosenut on them & play. Air intake accordian pipe is usually the problem though. GL

Re: KL-ZE Purchase question

If you buy a curved neck, you will not have a KLZE, you will have a millanea motor. You will have to buy a straight neck KLZE and change the intake or try the Brake master change to fit the straight neck.

Re: Intake Manifold, Gasket or not?

You are lucky in the USA for auto parts, I m amazed at what Rockauto offers down there. Id look there, they usually have lots of different brands and decent prices. They usually have everything except I cant find an EGR valve position sensor. shipping to Canada doubles the price so its a rip-off for...

Re: 1992 stock v6 shutting off

There are definately a few different ditributors, even on the same model year. Make sure you have the same, the firing order may even be different.

Re: Hesitation

Ya VRIS souinds right. 1 of my little vacuum valves near firewall was stuck when I bought the car. Stick ur hand in there and make sure the lever moves. Could be the problem, i just took mine off and loosened it up.

good luck

Re: KLZE OBD2 Swap Help - UK

Did you look under the hood on left side near firewall for plug ? Just a guess.

If all else fails, I would try another disty, thats the number 1 problem Ive had with mine.

good luck

code 16 nighmare

I have a 94 gs, 1.8 stock. It starts hard when cold, you usually have to turn it over a few times, stop, and then it starts right up. Runs OK when cold but when she warms up the ECU light comes on (was randomly but mostly on now when hot), and when you come to a stop it stalls. After stalling with E...

Re: stalls when warmed up

I managed to get the code, it keeps giving me code 16, EGR valve position sensor, connector or wiring. I think I found the EGR valve, what a horrible spot, think i ll have to get the car on a lift and see if I can check it out from underneath.

Thanks again for the help

Re: 1.8 V6 - Engine Tuning

Maybe besides the above mentioned mods you could try some head work. Port & polishing wouldnt hurt and maybe you could upgrade your camshafts. Sounds like you just want too add a few ponies without upgrading your engine, how many HP are you allowed before you change classes? You mentione 163 hp ...
