Marty, That's a big turkey your taming there with a Snap-on and Craftsman ratchets!

I use an app called Car Scanner on my iphone, its a paid app that I think cost 3.99 on the app store but uses a generic bluetooth OBD plug. so far it's worked on several newer vehicles. it does live data too. the app also has the option in the settings for usb, but you'd have to find an...

Something tells me the fuel is being pulled back into the tank by possibly vacuum in the tank and or the built in check valve in the LP along with the return not being air tight. check to see how secure the clear return hose is attached. it might be there. but also if the tank isn't well...

@Will L. give me your input here. after talking about the timing and what I did moving the cam on the throttle shaft have a look at this video. the paint mark I did a while back came off so I marked it again where it was at before messing with it today. with all the figuring I came to the...

I too think the o-ring might be your issue from getting it in. it's giving you some resistance. try this to verify.... get you a measuring device (small metal ruler is best) pocket screwdriver or something, stick it into the hole and note the depth. then measure the same on the sensor and...

The engine is tired, I had played with the pump trying to get it to run better. Now as the weather is cooling down I'm realizing I had advanced the timing a little too much. Just need to bring it back some. Maybe this spring I will be setup so I can pull the engine, drop the pan and see if...

I am wondering if the gear or reluctor in the t-case is made of plastic. looked online for a diagram to get a mental picture on how you rotated the housing to access the bolt. I would wonder if when you extracted the broken bolt maybe something got jarred loose or out of place in that area.

I'm sure you used new injector return hoses but maybe there is something there? I have seen hoses and seals leak under a slight vacuum but not leak under pressure, also with large temp swings leaks can form where it was perfectly fine before. This can be one of those that can drive a...

Hose over needle nose vice grips are the best at pinching a line without damaging it. pinch it vertical with the loop or bend so it will expand out after removal. sometime on that PVC hose if you pinch it in the bend (horizontal) the pinch can eventually create a crease in the hose that won't...

Welcome @Greentouch Most hydraulic brakes should be the same other than like Marty said with the ABS systems. just getting air out of the caliper area should be as simple as pumping and cracking. helps with two people but you can also try gravity bleeding too. a trick with one person is...

Looks like the return is emptying it's self. I wonder if now that the weather is getting colder hoses, clamps, and o-rings are shrinking just enough to cause a drain back to tank or create a suction of air. the drain back into the tank would be something in the LP allowing backflow of fuel...

My only guess would be if when you rotated the case it might have separated some and things inside are out of alignment. I would need to see a visual of the transfer case and what section you un-bolted and rotated to know more. maybe get an inspection mirror so you can see up in the hole...

I know it's a dumb question, but check the depth of the old sensor compared to the new one. the parts house could have given you an incorrect sensor or was possibly boxed wrong.

Well last night after thinking more about it, I ran out there and disconnected the cold advance solenoid (afraid of the engine coming apart), left the high idle one connected. This morning with temps at 45 degrees the engine was a little harder to start. had to use the GP override button on...

Not sure it would be proper, but some long runs of good quality heat shrink might provide a good layer to protect what insulation is still intact. I know it would be a PIA to unroll a 100' out and slide on that length of heat shrink over it, but might be worth the effort depending on what you...

I think your right. I was reading my own thread I had started on leaning to set timing. will and others said the same. more advance = more rattle. I will have to play with it some. I think I have two things going on. the IP is a little advanced and I have the cam adjusted too far which is...

that looks like it's in the right spot though check it again after it runs. I have noticed that after it runs a few minutes the belt will settle into the groves and changes where the marks line up.

Someone maybe can verify this. I think I am just a tad too far retarded on the timing (probably me and the timing HAHA). with the symptoms I get are by pressing the advance piston (lever on the passenger side of the pump) engine stumbles and a little smoky. also under acceleration engine is...

Tried to video it for the sound but it wasn't near as loud as this morning, will try again in the morning if I remember. it's supposed to be down in the mid to high 40's. I am thinking I have the IP turned slightly too much one way or the other. if that's the case I can possibly mess with...

I forgot to post this morning about the 93 leaving for work. I had wired up the cold start advance solenoid on the IP yesterday. I had already tried it manually but I guess when the engine is slightly warm already you can't tell any difference in it running. Well this morning I was reminded...
