They wont break..if they do..well its easy to fuix em. a body shop can finish the work for u once its molded. You just...

I always gas up when that indicator light comes up. I can still drive it for aroun 15 misn without the car stalling. Anywho..if you are going to drive like this, always stock a gallon of gas in the rear hatch area. Just in case u get stranded..you can then drive to a gas station and gas up. But yeah...

Ok..so I notive my k8 underhood tempetures are hot..compared to other cars. How can I help this car be a bit cooler up front? I knopw of removing the weatherstripping..but doesnt this get the engine dirty when it rains?? its asacrifice im willing to take...how can I get this engine to run cooler? it...

Well..its ATX and it will start only when you wiggle the shift... it seems to me like it is a faulty neutral start switch..im assuming its located in the tranny? where the gear shift lever is? its the switch that wont let the car start in gear..just neutral or park. I had that problem in a nissan. I...

hmmm do u guys think that I can tell if the car has forged pistons by getting a compression test? I got a k8 but it supposebly has forged pistons and better valves and springs..SUPPOSEBLY.. it eb nicew to find out.

-hec

Where exactly is the EGR? I see it in the diagrams..but I cant find it on the exhaust manuifold. the intake states k801 something like that..meaning it is the k8?? correct? Is there any way to tell if the engine has been modified?

hmm..ok Im new to mxx..bought it for 1000 ..very happy with it. BUT well im a little confused. My last car was a 180 hp modded nissan maxima...nothing to brag about.. 0-60 in 7 secs. Ok..I dont know wht a k8 engine does ..but is 8 seconds ok..or fast? I first ran this car today and was able to own a...

REALLY ? woah thats a relief well just in case my belt snaps like it did on a dohc engine i used to have. WOW so eally it wont bend them??? this is to good to be true!

It is recommended that u resurface the flywheel and about the idle..no it shouldnt o.0 if u got an outo the code for um I believe (not sure) neutral start switch , the one that doesnt let the car start if its not in parking or neutral.

that sounds like a disconnected maf o.0 but could be a vacumm leak. Have u pulled codes?? checked fuel pressure?

Well, just set the engine to TDC (top dead center) meaning piston one is all the way to the top. It should be marked on the block. you can also use a long straw and remove the no 1 plug and putnthe straw there to check when the pistomn is up. Try not to turn it alot o.0 since valves can be bent. Als...

Well...If you think your engine is to young to have worn piston rings, its a good idea to look at the valve seals. just poke em..if they are hard to the touch or have cracks..it defenetly burning oil tru there. Or simply just replace them. Also check your spark plugs to see if they are wet with oil....

Ok theres a sensor on my k8 thats rignt near the throttle. It has 2 vacuum lines connected to it. What is this and where do i get a replacement? the one I have has one of the plastic tubes broken and cant be glued back on. What doies this affect in? Burns more gas?
