I recently took out my Crane HI6 ignition mod from my 95 prelude (sold the
car), and was thinking of installing the crane in my 93 truck (2×4 22re
engine). This is my problem, I lost the manual and I have no idea which
wires I hook up to where in my truck. Could someone help me out and get this
thing installed.. All I need  is a wire guide and which wires hooks up to
what and which wires dont need to be hooked up..

Thanx,
Mig

Dear Expert,

Here is your  challenge:

I’m an Electronics Technician with quite a bit of amateur mechanic
experience. But no EFI experience.

My ’87 Camry (automatic, 4-cylinder, 3S-FE/2.0L engine, 90k mi.) has
been stalling. This problem occurs
intermittently. What will happen is that I will step on the accelerator
and the engine will quit. If I let up on the gas right away, the engine
is able to keep idling almost normally. If the car does stall, it may
turn over but not start for some time, usually 2 to 7 minutes of
repeated attempts. If I am moving and I notice that it wants to quit I
can make several stabs at the gas pedal until (sometimes) the engine
comes back. When this occurs on the interstate, sometimes, it will start
to die and then I step on the gas and the tach will indicate that the
engine is speeding up but, the car will be slowing down– and at the
same time I smell an odor of exhaust/poorly burned gasoline.

I checked the transmission fluid just to be sure. It was okay in level
and color. Transmission works fine at all other times.

The computer has no error codes. I reset it by pulling the EFI fuse– no
help

I ran a test from a Chilton book which showed the O2 sensor to be
operating correctly. (however during the test the engine may not have
been in its failure mode- can’t remember)

I’ve pulled and cleaned several electrical connectors in the engine
compartment.

I sort of checked the air flow meter I think it is okay – not certain.
(hard to know with intermittents)

This problem comes and goes – bad, then good – no in-between. So, it
seems to me like it is an intermittent electrical problem. Also, with
this occasional transmission involvement, I think it might be related in
some way to the ECT system. I don’t have a service manual and I don’t
have much knowledge of these systems.

Questions:

Do you think I have two problems – engine and transmission?

What one failure would cause both problems?

What can I check or replace?

What should I test or check while failure is occurring?

How can I narrow this down? Is it an electrical problem?

Is this a problem that you have seen before?

Not  enough money to go to a mechanic so, what is your best guess?

Help me please this is driving me nuts!!

Thank you so much for any  help you might offer.

Hello,

I noticed that with my car jacked up off the ground, I can shake the front
wheels slightly as if the lugnuts weren’t tight enough.  But they are very
tight already.  The car is a 95 Corolla DX.  Is this normal?  If not, what
needs to be done to correct it?  Thanks in advance!

I’m thinking of putting a set of component speakers in the door of my 85
Pickup, they are 6 1/2 with tweeters, any ideas or problems that may occur
in the installation?

Thx

Chris

Hi all,
        Are there any chips in my ‘cruiser? If there are, is there any
chance that they might be affected by the Year 2000 bug?
( If this is answered in a FAQ somewhere, my apologies; can you give
me a pointer?)
Thanks

> What would be the symptomps of a worn timing belt ?

Coasting to a dead stop.

Seriously, as far as I know (and that ain’t much when it comes to cars)
there is no warning. If it breaks, the engine stops and, depending on
the engine, valve damage can occur. Had a belt break on a Chevy Spectrum
(Isuzu) and the thing never ran right after that (after the belt was
replaced that is).

Sorry to be a pain, but can any one help me with my problem? re: ’4Runner
extractor power loss’ posted 10/1/98

Please help, this things becoming a dog to drive.

Thanks in anticipation!

Jason

if it doesn`t have a steering stablizer, then you should put one on. they
really help a shimmy problem when using larger tires.

I’m very interested in one of these two vehicles. Any tie-breakers?

Thanks for any replies!

<<<Ideas are easy, making them real isn’t>>>

   What the hell happened? I admit I’m not up on the auto industry as much
as most people, but imagine my shock and horror when I find myself in the
market for a new car, and finding myself with the means to buy the car
I’ve always wanted – a decked out Toyota Supra.

   So I casually saunter over to Toyota’s web site. What? Where the hell
are the Supras? Ha ha. Very funny. This is obviously a mistake. An
oversight. Ha ha. With sweaty trembling fingers, I call the biggest Toyota
dealer in New England.

   "No, it’s not a mistake. There is no ’99 Supra."

   Well, Jesus H. *Christ*! Why the hell not?

   "Demand… market demographics…."

   *click*

   Begone, you worthless sales hack!

   First the 300Z. Then the RX7. And now… this. I can’t believe it. I
hope everyone buying these inane gas guzzling sport utility vehicles are
happy with this. I didn’t feel betrayed by the auto industry during the
80′s, but now.. now I’m irate!

   I guess I’m off to see if I can get a bargain on a ’98…
