He is a vampire? Has a note from Dr. Van Helsing?

Really? I thought limp mode kicked in, based on feedback from the other sensor and preset values. I think this is true if the Crank Sensor goes but not if the Cam Sensor goes. With the crank sensor gone my car just ran rich and hesitated. It wasn't even bad enough to be called limp mode. I have no ...

Do you have the V6 K8? I have nowhere near the expertise of Pat, but I have recently gone through the replacement of the Crank Position Sensor. This is the one by the crank pulley. I was getting code 02. With this code I was getting some weird idle and some hesitation when accelerating in 1st gear f...

What means this post old Jedi? Not for sale you have. Without instruction for apprentice this thread is. Lacking in part description or sourcing information is your path.

Once you get it open take the opportunity to lube the spring and latch mechanism that hods the hood closed. If your hood has not been opened in a while it may have seized. I had the hood off my car for a couple of months in the summer while I was working on it in the off season and when I slapped th...

Metallic Snake Oil No it doesn't do anything for a modern fuel injected engine. Hey even ebay will tell you http://reviews.ebay.com/Tornado-Fuel-Saver-is-a-Scam_W0QQugidZ10000000000922281 Usually these things are marketed as a secret that the car and oil companies conspire to hide from Joe Public.

Pat et al On the weekend I doused the moving parts of the linkage and stabilizer with PB Blaster and a penetrating oil mixture of my own making and drove it around to work it in and heat it up.After a couple of days of use, shift feel is improved about 300%. Probably needs new bushings but its good ...

Hey, I am no expert but I think it is an extremely bad idea, especially if the rad is old, you could just damage the core. Fill it with water. Drain. Fill it with coolant mixture.

If the pics on his cardomain page are current, apart form the external body kit, my car is lower and it is purely a winter car. I am running Toyo Garit winter tires in 195/55/15 size making them just a touch smaller than stock in overall diameter,and with the aforementioned slightly narrower footpri...

Pat Thanks again. I didn't really suspect the bushings because the P.O had installed a Pacesetter short shift kit about 7000 KM before I bought the car and so it didn't really occur to me as something to look at immediately (eg I immediately changed the oil and transmission fluid) I guess I have a c...

I only put about 4000 miles a year on my MX-3 as it is a winter commuter car. With today's oil formulations I think changing oil every 3000 miles is probably overkill, but I have actually changed the oil 3 times in 4000 miles just cause I am running some very short intervals to clean 150,000 miles o...

Clutch slave is in, and working, flexible hose has been replaced by Corksports SS Line, new solid clutch pipe installed and CPS has been replaced. This is more work than I have done myself on any car. Car runs for the first time since I blew the clutch line. I have put about 50 miles on it in the la...

On the bleeding, after doing the best I could myself, i did get my GF to sit in the driver's seat and depress the clutch pedal while I opened the screw. I did have a tube over it leading down to a sealed bag with some DOT3 brake fluid. After about the first two pumps there were no bubbles. so i tigh...

I grabbed about 20 minutes this morning before work and did a better job of bleeding the clutch line, and then started her up. Clutch pedal seems a little vague, but I am used to a pretty heavy German clutch. Of more concern is when I release the clutch pedal there is a friction sound. I shut the en...

Thanks guys. After measuring the line (24 inches) I called a couple of places and the closest I could find premade was 30 inches. My real concern with doing the bending myself was that I might get pinching and affect flow (which couldn't be good for a hydraulic system, right?) Anyhow, I called aroun...
