    I'm an electronic engineer but working on cars has always been a huge hobby for me. <br>9 time out of 10 I try to fix things myself, cursing, stressing and breaking things along the way - but it's all worth it in the end!

  1. I've tighten the crossmember bolts before, it shut up it up for a while, I'll check them out again. Thanks guys, you rule :cool2:
  2. Ok, so my front end makes all sorts of funky grinding/moaning sounds when I turn, mostly at very low speeds (IE turning into parking spots) I've checked alot of the suspension out, it looks fine. I'm thinking maybe the Idler Arm?? it looks like it has alot of play in it.. I dunno.. I'm getting a little worried about the sounds now, they're getting louder as time goes by, and it's a tough thing to diagnose in your driveway. Also the front end is beginning to vibrate a lot at higher speeds now, and it's not my tires, they're balanced. I'm sure someone out there must have had this sort of problem?? Ideas please??

    Cheap upgrade

    Haha, thats funny...it's sold out of Vancouver... for 24.99 it's probably at the dollar store
  4. Thanks for all the replies guys.... I only ran it on 91 octane for the emissions testing.. normally it gets 87. I have cleaned out the EGR valve BUT i couldn't remove the copper pipe that runs from the manifold to the EGR valve, it didn't budge no matter what I did. But I know it's not blocked because I did the manifold studs a few weeks back and had the whole works ripped apart, and i could blow air from one side to the other easily. Anyways, this weekend it's gonna get another look over and inspection by me b4 I try one more time for aircare. So you guys recommend 87 octane fuel?? Everyone up here swears by Chevron 94 octane for aircare, even for old cars.....
  5. Hey guys, I dunno how many of you have mandatory vehicle emissions testing in your region, but we have it here in BC, Canada - and my Pathy keeps failing!! It's ridiculous... There's 3 parts to the test: CO2 emmision, NOX and Hydrocarbons I think.... I've passed 2 out of the 3 items everytime but it keeps failing on the NOX part. It failed by 0.3 today - totally ticked me off. Quick run down: I got a brand new cat, O2, air filter is clean, NGK platinum plugs, the truck idle's and runs absolutley perfect. EGR valve has been cleaned out, cap and rotor are a few months old as well as the fuel filter. I run it on 91 octane fuel. Truck had 274,000 kms. I have no idea what to look at anymore! :furious: Any ideas???????????????????????? Ravz :help:
  6. Congrats man, I know what you went through! I just went through that broken stud = exhaust leak problem myself. Took me about 6 hours to drill out the old studs, put in new ones, and bolt her back up. I had to change my cat, oxy sensor, and about 1/2 the pipe underneath - it was all rotten. $450 Can. got all that crap done however it's all welded in now, so that exhaust isn't coming apart again
  7. Oh man, gas hit 99.9 cents per litre here in Vancouver, BC Canada. And thats the cheap stuff. It's ridiculous. Thats roughly $2.77 / gal US right??? Man it sucks!
