Good Evening All I'm starting my head gasket in the morning. Fel-pro gasket set, and new bolts. If there's anything I should watch out for, or tips to make it easier please let me know. I also have the wonderful luxury of air to tear her down. As always, Thanks everybody.

URBANISTIC The clutch is fine. I'm not loosing any fluid in the master, i'm guessing a seal went in the p.o.s. slave cylinder. ???????????? Is that possible?

5 SPD, clutch pedal is very loose, seems that pressure is almost gone. Changed clutch/slave/throwout/pilot 2 years ago. noticed pressure decreasing two days ago, last night had to pump clutch to get it to dis-engage. Could the slave cyl. have been a POS and is going south already. As always, any...

My CEL is intermitantly coming on showing a code 41, (engine running lean) changed the TPS, O2 sensor, plugs & wires, and the MAF. When the light comes on and I give it alot of gas I get a small white cloud and my exhaust pipe is full of carbon. Any ideas????

MR Shorty The 41 usually shows up after i've been driving for a while in 5th gear for longer than 20 minutes after I stop at a light or something. As far as the KOER test goes, after I do the KOEO test nothing happens. I can't even get the scanner to ID the engine (3 blinks). According to...

The PCV is fine, as far as the other two...wouldn't they throw off codes?

As a few of you will recall, i'm the one with code 41 showing up intermitantly. The TPS and O2 Sensor are new, plugs and wires are new. I took off the plug for the MAF and just cleaned the plug off (no maf codes as of yet) I also had the Ignition pack ohmed out, primary and secondarys both...

Thanks Rhett. Ant idea why the 41 code will still be showing after replacing the O2 sensor and clearing the codes once. I wonder if plugs or wires would throw that code up, or would give the sensor a wrong reading?

Where would the fuse be that operates the heater for that?

The sensor I replaced was before the cat. Where is the fuse at for the heater you're talking about OperaHouse??

Yes, I dis-connected the battery. I have a Chilton and a Haynes manual. All it says is there's one in the "Y" of the exhaust.

Had a code 41, replaced the O2 sensor (the one in the "Y") cleared the codes. Ran good for about 20 minutes then CEL came on again with a 41 again. Why would this happen? A few people have said there's two O2 sensors on this thing but I can only find one. Any help/advice would be appreciated.

Thanks Mr. Shorty I'm glad I found this site last year. I guess auto parts stores are getting commision now or, they're full of s^#*! Thanks again. Here goes another $49.99.

Can anybody tell me the trick as to which O2 sensor throws off a "code 41". Is it the sensor before, or after the catyletic converter. ??? Thanks.

Alex Do it all the first time and save yourself the headache of having to open it up again. I just did mine a few months ago, it's a pain to do it but nothing you can't do yourself. Buy the kit most parts stores stock it, you may have to order the pilot bearing though. Make sure you get one of...

BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR Gunner I grew up in IL. damn cold there! Hey I just went through something similair with my heater. My deal was..no heat. When I moved the temp switch to red you could hear the flap move but no heat. Somebody told me to flush the heater core so I pulled the 2 heater...

Autolite plugs, OEM wires.

Have you pulled the codes on it? Sounds like the throttle pos sensor. The MAF would make you idle slower usually. Is your check engine light on?

MrShorty Had the cure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks a lot guys, MrShorty was right. I put a high pressure nozzle on my garden hose and blasted the core out. All is well now, until the next problem happens. THANKS AGAIN!!!!!

My Exploder has me stumped once again, here we go.... First off, the heater core was replaced about 3 years ago and it's not leaking or anything so i'm thinking thats ok. I don't have any heat coming through to the pass. compartment at all, it's a tad bit warm but nowhere near it should be. All...

Lonestar: When I was diagnosing a power drain problem w/ my starter, I was doing the good ol' process of elimination replacing all the ignition components. When I changed out the relay I had the wires reversed and that caused my starter to stay engaged. Maybe (i'm guessing here) the contacts in...

Just went through this same mess with my 91'. Lost clutch pedal pressure, checked the master cylinder and was loosing fluid. So I did it up. New heavy duty clutch($150) and to elliminate any any questions later, a new slave cylinder($89). 3 hours to get the tranny out & install new parts...

Hope somebody has an idea on this. Just returned from a 9 month boat ride to IRAQ. Wife wasn't driving my baby much so it was setting alot. Anyway, first my gas gauge was stuck on 1/4 so I filled it up hoping after a few days the float would un-stick. Not, the darn temp gauge quit too. Amps and...

Electric Sucks! Air: The ignition switch is pretty easy to change, undo your steering column cover, the switch is at the end of a long silver bar near the bottom of the column.If I remember rite it's 2 "torx" screws holding it on. Try replacing that first,it's only about $10. IF that don't...
