Funny charge light

Okay, so my charge light has become quite sporadic. sometimes when i'm driving, it stays off. more often though, it stays on at a low RPM, but will fade out at a higher rev. does this signify a slowly failing alternator? or maybe just a new belt? the car itself seems to run okay and i haven't had to...

Re: FPR control solenoid

Re: FPR control solenoid

Re: FPR control solenoid

http://www.mx-3.com/manuals/showimg.php?file=/1995%20Workshop%20Manual/F2/F2-120.gif PRC solenoid failure is highly unlikely to prevent the engine from starting - more than likely you got codes 2 & 5 - Crankshaft position sensor & knock sensor. oh one thing... a code 2 would be two rapid fl...

FPR control solenoid

okay, yesterday when i was going to work, my car wouldn't start, it was attempting to turn over and simply wouldn't... I've ruled out alternator / Battery and ignition, so i decided to run to Test ENgine to ground with the paperclip technique to see what was going on (after clearing out the codes by...

Re: Roll Call for Nor Cal

Re: Pre-swap!

So many things to do!

Okay... I've landed a KLZE (2fazed is selling me the short block and disty, alt. and the VAF) so basically, with work and school, i won't have time to do this swap for another year perhaps, due to the fact that I only have one mode of transportation. my dad gave me an idea and said to save up after ...
