drain the trans cause if you don' when you pull the seal off, i would imagine it would drain out all over the place. not sure though. But on the other hand, new gear oil probably wouldn't hurt.

If your plugs seem to be burnt, replace them. And check all of your plug wires for cuts, tears, and the like.

oh snap! lol hahaha

wow man, thats alot. if you could do the work yourself you would save alot. advance auto has some alternators for like 140 bucks. and a belt is like at most 20. If you could do it yourself, i would highly suggest doing so.

i had this problem a little while back, and my grandpa told me to pour a little bit of automatic trans fluid in with the oil, and i did, and it quitened it down for a while.
sounds like lifters though. a rod is like a hard knocking sound.

man, if it were me, i would check both of your belts, make sure neither have slipped off, and inspect them, make sure they don't have cracks or missing ribs. Sounds like your alternator is on its way out. Is the sound a whine, or a loud squeal?. Make sure there isn't anything caught in the fans as w...

no vtec.......lol

OMFG?!?! hahahahahahaha thats ridiculous........
why would you do that?

man, don't forget to get the carbon fiber wipers from walmart, easily another 10 bhp. lol

Does anyone know if the de a/c compressor is the same as the k8? Thanks.

I also have an extra k8. Pretty sure the head on it is good. also unfortunate i am in illinois, a little bit closer, but no cigar. let me know if i can help.

hey i am having a really hard time getting my car in time after swapping out to a new disty. It runs so much better in limp mode. Does anyone know if i leave it in limp mode, will this hurt the car? I really need the car, but don't have the time to mess with it until monday or tuesday. Thanks in adv...

There is this stuff that is called PB Blaster. Works wonders on rusted nuts. (that's what she said)
but seriously its good stuff. should be able to get it at any auto parts store or even walmart

little bit of an update. i put it in limp mode, and adjusted the disty and got it to where it isn't doing the sputtering. I can't however get the idle right. i am getting it to idle about 1250. Somewhere i remember reading that the idle should be somewhere around 750. I know there is a screw on top ...

hey got a little bit of a problem. had a 03 camshaft position sensor. Went and got another disty. installed it, and got rid of the code, but now it wants to sputter and backfire like crazy at about 2500 rpm, and wont let me give it any more gas. Any help would be appreciated. thanks.
