Re: eg overheating, need some help plz

I had a Porsche that did that, turns out it was the temp sensor that tells the fan to kick on. Replaced that(on rad) and all was fine. The one that sends temp to the cluster was fine, that's how I...

Any idea how to track down where the wires may have worn off the insulation?

I used to work with large aerators in ponds and we ran lots of wires underground. There is a tester that can detect...

Re: Cluster problem!

OK, I will try to track one down. In the meantime, is there a dedicated ground for the cluster? Maybe its a bad ground? Or maybe the... electrical connection ribbon on the back is misaligned? Maybe...

Re: Cluster problem!

Could it be the turn signal stick (the thing on the left of the steering wheel)? I have a spare one of those.

Swapping the cluster probably is not a reliable test since the problem is...

Re: Help! I just replaced my front UCA, now pulls!

I don't think you're talking about the same thing I am. I assume you changed your tie rod? I'm talking about upper control arm - no adjustments there.

either way, I took the measurements, took the...

Re: Help! I just replaced my front UCA, now pulls!

my right front ball joint was super worn out and I was able to just grad the wheel and rock it back and forth. It still drove straight as an arrow. I could let the wheel go on the highway...

Re: I'm about to drive this thing off a bridge! B18B1 in eg.

iacv's in, no change. Could it be the fuel pump? Before all the problems, we had run it down all the way to the point it cut out and wouldn't stay running.
