    An Apparent Miss While At Idle

    Could Be Bad Gas I drove it to London yesterday and had no problems. I think this English gas might be the problem. I've changed almost everything else for the timing chain. I will do that when I got back stateside next year. Thanks

    An Apparent Miss While At Idle

    I have a 91 X-EB with 136,x.. miles. I've noticed lately that I have developed what seems to be a miss while at idle in and out of gear. I have good acceleration and I have no starting problems. There is no noticeable change in the RPMs or registering on the tachometer. Any idea what I can...

    Battery or Starter problem?

    I think you may have gotten your alternator wet and possible burned out the diodes. It happened to me 3 weeks ago. If you jump start, once it's running, take a look at your volt guage. At normal charging, the needle should point near the "M" on normal. If you get it started and the...

    fuel gauge not working

    Your float is full of fuel. The seam on the float has a hole in it. The float is sold separately at the dealership for about $5. The job isn't all that hard. Best to have the tank empty first. Makes the job alot easier. The tank should be plastic (mine is) which makes it a job you can do...

    Clunk front front when braking

    Check your radius arm bushings. Since you are driving a '95, it might be time to replace those. I've replaced them on my 91 and my father's 94

    Help...Brake lights out!

    This is an odd one. You might check for relays under the hood. Check the flasher for the turn signals also. Sometimes those things go screwy and cause all types of odd problems

    70mm mass air sensor for 91XEB

    Thanks for the info. That sounds like a lot of cheese to drop in an 11 years old truck. Hmmmm, I'll have to think about all that. Thanks again

    70mm mass air sensor for 91XEB

    I have a 91 XEB and would like to know if putting a 70mm Mass Air Sensor on it would make any difference or should I just keep my money in my pocket?

    Need Help Please

    Look underneath at the exhaust work. Your problem is most likely under there. Does the sound stop when you decelerate or just when you brake?

    Bogged down at 1500 rpm/45 - 55 mph

    I have a 91 EB. When the engine is running at about 1500 rpm at 45 - 55 mph, it seems to bog down. I have to accelerate to get over that hump. Any ideas anyone?

    Engine Performance "lack of"

    Don't know if this helps but it might be worth looking into. My wife's uncles owns a 95 EB and his seemed to lack power also. He took it to the dealership and the problem was in his transmission. I don't know what they found but look into. It can't hurt

    Flickering lights solved!!!

    Re: Flickering lights solved I had a similar problem with my 91 EB. Mine started with a jumping voltmeter and the flickering lights. Since I am stationed in the UK at present, I had to have my alternator rebuilt. Works like a charm now. Your voltmeter is reading pretty much normal now with...

    How do you properly warm an engine up?

    I'd say about 30 seconds is sufficient. When your oil pressure guage reaches its normal reading (much less than 30 seconds), then you should be ready to roll without a problem However, climatic conditions should be your guide. Give you engine a few minutes to warm up in extreme cold. The...

    I have a 91 Eddie Bauer with 128K miles. My problem is a jumping volt gauge. The needle jumps back and forth intermittently. I have replaced both the positive and negative battery cables and terminals with no results. I thought for sure this would fix the problem. My battery is strong and...
