    Check Engine Light finally solved

    The check engine light comes on after a few minutes of driving. Turning the key off, then starting turns off the CEL for a few minutes. The engine revs smoothly up to 4100 rpm then stumbles there, then smoothes out above that toward red line. KOEO Codes: 111, 214, 542...

    Headlight Lens Replacement Instructions Needed

    I need to replace the driver's side headlight lens due to it being broken. Can I just replace the lens or do I have to get the whole assembly? I looked at it and didn't immediately see how to remove it, so I could use step-by-step instructions on changing the lens or lens assembly on the...

    Dolly Towing My 4X2 Auto EX Backwards??

    I would really like to keep my 4X2 Auto EX but I need my car to be towable behind my newly purchased RV. Putting it on a tow dolly backwards can be done but some sources say it is inadvisable because of stability problems. UHaul does not permit backwards towing on their dollies and I have...

    Wiper Blade for 1st Gen: What length?

    The blades I salvaged from a 1st gen X are 18" and Adv.Auto shows 18" for same. They leave a lot of area un-wiped so I was thinking about getting longer replacements. It looks to me that the blades could be up to four inches longer, say 22". I need to replace the back wiper too and am...

    STANT Radiator Cap: Warning!!

    Beware of the Stant Radiator Cap for the EX. My brand new one does not relieve the pressure when the engine heats up as witnessed by a constant level in my coolant reservoir. A few days ago I replaced my radiator cap on the recommendation of my some-time mechanic. I got the basic Sant model...

    94 EX: Always 20 seconds of fast idle upon starting then....

    My 94 EX (166K mi) always has about twenty seconds of fast idle upon starting cold or hot here in Florida. Then, after the twenty or so seconds fast idle, over a period of about five seconds it slows down to a nice idle speed for engaging the automatic transmission. I mention Florida to exclude...

    Tachometer Dead and Always on Zero

    I've read all the posts on tachs in this forum. I found no posts on my tach situation: Tachometer Dead and Always on Zero. All other instruments are OK and the truck runs fine. I'm hoping to find something simpler than the circuit board requiring a tear out. (Saw the excellent post on the...

    Need step-by-step guide for changing Canister Purge Valve

    I just got the 94 EB 4dr 4X2 with 166K miles. Cleared the CEL by finding only one error code for the EGR pressure sensor. I was pleased to find that so easy, just sitting near the top of the engine, DS. I get a strong gas smell from the cannister vent and figure it is the purge valve...
