Re: Hard to track defrost problem.

you might find the bulb itself at a hobby shop. "grain of wheat" bulb or some such. Used in model trains. Be sure to get a 12v one. Then you can put it on the original base.

or use Wagner bulb #2723

low budget to me is 0.50$ but might be 5000$ to you. just trying to understand your situation ...

Re: Rear Defroster woes!

Well, the windows still didn't defrost. Volts were there, and ground. Basically, all traces are open, they are VERY thin in the middle of the glass, and a volt meter can find the first break in every line. Not patchable.

This hatch is from my '92 parts car, as the other hatch was damaged in a rear ...

Re: Exhaust Manifolds (interchange?)

the bp is physically 22 mm longer, so the gaskets look very very close but the spacing will be off.
ok, well that is disappointing. i thought the extra .2 displacement was from a longer stroke.
arg, so there is not a 1.6 dohc manifold or something that will bolt up (with some modification im sure ...

Re: Rear window defroster repair (Solder)

Well, it failed the first test, did not remove fog from the rear window. Got out the old Voltmeter, and found no volts across the grid. A short tracing session led to a relay that sounded OK, clicked and all, but when I unplugged it, it fell apart, burnt-up.

Tonight I dig into my parts car ...

Re: What is this sensor?

I do not know where the Temperature Gauge Sensor is.

that is located on the cylinder head under the distributor i think. it is a tiny little thing that has only one
connector on it like this:

Re: What is this sensor?

"Coolant temperature gauge sensor" (or "sending unit") is also a sensor, normally 1 wire. It feeds a signal to the temperature gauge in the dash, so the driver can completely ignore it while driving, and overheat the car anyways.

Re: Messed up VAF

Well it sits on top of the airbox, I wanted to remove it because I thought it would be like an MAF. I pulled it to hard and some terminals broke or something.
If someone could just post up a pic of their VAF/VAM internals, that would be great. Oh and the car will start and run without a VAF as ...
