    JBL help with the three dash display?!?! Help guys! Looks like you're familiar with the stock unit. For several months, when I start the '92 EB, the radio might not come on- no display or power. One or two starts later, the radio is fine. Other than that, the radio has functioned well...

    Bosch Plats Nicaraguense, I always used the Bosch Plats, work great, even w/the skinny electrode. Never mind the multi pointed things, the single gives you a consistent spark. Good luck!

    Thanks for your info! I appreciate your responses! Mr. Shorty, I was using the Haynes as a ref. and all the codes they had listed were all two digit. It was tricky to determine which were 2 sec pauses and 4 sec separator pauses. The codes do repeat, and I would end up just writing the...

    ERROR CODES???

    Knowing I have to replace the fuel pump to eliminate the whine, and hopefully reduce the rough idle, I decided to pull the error codes. I used the volt meter method in the Haynes manual. [ I felt like I was using an Ovaltine spy decoder!] I ended up with error codes that were not listed in...

    Broke bolt

    FYI In the future, I recommend a technique that's worked great for me: A) Instead of an easyout, I drill the bolt as big as possible without hitting the threads B) take an ALLEN wrench, the 90Degree type, and tap it in good into the drilled hole, at least one idameter in depth C) back the...
