Someone who figured it out on his own! Yeah Tapatalk will do that, because it sucks! Just gotta remember to refresh when you get an error or don't see your post.. because it does work no matter what TT tries to tell you. BTW, Welcome to NPORA

Wow, nice! I can see why BTW, "So Tempted" is good enough

yeah sounds like more reason to work on, maintain and upgrade the pathy!

Autoblog - Gearheads push to preserve rights to work on their own cars ____________________ Gearheads push to preserve rights to work on their own cars Pete Bigelow 1 day ago Hundreds of independent mechanics, gearheads and automotive enthusiasts have come together and implored the US Copyright office to protect their right to repair cars. A period to comment on the proposed exemptions closed April 30, and this week the Copyright Office released the latest comments, which come from large organizations and individual citizens alike. A broad majority of those who wrote support an exemption. "For over a century many American motorists have maintained and personalized their cars or trucks," wrote AAA, the nation's largest motoring organization. "They do so to save money, to fix a problem, to adjust a vehicle to better meet their driving needs, or simply because they enjoy working on the vehicle that they own. This sort of 'tinkering' is a critical element of the American car culture. Failure to recognize an exemption threatens this part of our car culture." What's changed over the past century is that cars aren't just mechanical in nature anymore. Whether drivers realize it or not, today's cars are largely controlled by dozens of small computers called electronic control units. In this copyright dust-up, automakers and equipment manufacturers have argued the software and code that run these ECUs are proprietary and protected by copyright law. In short, they don't want outsiders messing around with that coding, and believe unauthorized modifications could lead to malfunctions and car accidents. The Copyright Office will hold hearings on several proposed exemptions later this month, and decisions are expected sometime in June or July. At stake is whether home mechanics can continue to fix cars in their own garages. But the possible restrictions don't only affect car enthusiasts. More broadly, the ruling could affect whether consumers can continue to choose their own mechanics. Should the Copyright Office deny an exemption to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act's Section 1201, automakers could only authorize repairs at dealerships or sell the access codes necessary to repair cars to preferred service shops. In arguing against an exemption, John Deere and General Motors have argued that motorists don't necessarily buy a car; they merely buy a license to use the car for the duration of its life. Officials from iFixit, an online, do-it-yourself repair manual for thousands of products, wrote that the manufacturers are "trying to eviscerate the notion of ownership." In their detailed rebuttal to John Deere, they wrote, "Old MacDonald has a tractor but he really only owns a 2,000-pound barn ornament. ... Their argument runs completely at odds with an owner's property rights. And it gives manufacturers undue control over the physical objects they sell to consumers." Members of the Specialty Equipment Market Association, better known as SEMA in most automotive circles, ostensibly have the most to lose if the Copyright Office doesn't grant an exemption. The trade organization represents roughly 6,800 companies that create aftermarket automotive products. In comments, SEMA noted that dozens of features now considered standard on cars, such as cruise control and retractable seat belts, started with innovators outside the industry. "Critically important, and now taken for granted, many safety advances originated in the hobbyist community independent of the automakers," SEMA officials wrote. "In each case, it had been necessary for the 'tinkerer' to understand how the vehicle operated in order to achieve the desired results." In an era of more complex software, SEMA said, "the need for access free of any cloud created by the DMCA is more vital than ever. Congress passed the DMCA in 1998, long before most people conceived the legislation could someday apply to vehicles. Every three years, the Copyright Office holds hearings to determine whether exemptions are warranted as technology advances. This year, there are 27 different proposed exemptions, and a half-dozen apply to the automotive realm. They cover preserving access for security and safety research, jailbreaking mobile devices, diagnosing vehicle software and several similar categories. Though the specifics change per each specific proposal, the general contentions are the same. So are the frustrations of gearheads. While large organizations detailed their support for exemptions in comprehensive remarks, Alabama resident Drayton Green cut through the legalities and delivered a blunt assessment of potential restrictions. "This has to be one of the dumbest things I've heard," he wrote to the Copyright Office. "I can't believe this is even a discussion. If I purchase a car, I own it. The freedom to do whatever I want to it is provided by my constitutional rights. Simple as that." ____________________

Personally I prefer darker colors, but that's me. You may like, or

Moved it to keep the roofers from dumping crap all over it.

All three times that I have dealt with this(Clutch/Engine/Trans replacements), the above is exactly what it came down too.

This image should look familiar See the reservoir with the black cap just in front of the brake master cylinder.

There are not many hoses and since they are easily replaced and the cost is very low, it is a quick way to eliminate them as a possibility. They can fail even when you see no real obvious reasons for it, as they age the dry out and crack which can lead to leaks. Sometimes just cutting the ends off and reconnecting will do it, but again vacuum hose is cheap, so I recommend replacing them all and being done with it. Just make sure you do one at a time so there is no getting connections mixed up. As for the plug gap, did you gap them yourself before installing or did you just take them out of the boxes and install? They usually come "pre gapped" but I never trust that. It is quick and easy to verify and adjust when needed before install... and I always end up adjusting the gaps on a couple of them when installing new plugs, even if only by a little bit.

Wow no one has jumped into this thread yet? I could be wrong but even if there is a valve causing your problems, then there should be no flow with the garden hose either if something is blocking inside the cabin. Where are you hooking up the garden hose? Are you passing the fresh water directly into the heater core inlet/outlet or are you connecting it to the heater hose or hoses? Have you verified that the hoses are good? People have reported hoses having separated on the inside and caused blockage, even intermittent at times. Replacing the hose fixed the problem. Just saying that you might want to eliminate the hoses from the possible list of problems before digging into the dash.

Picked up and installed a new battery (replaced under warranty.)

Ok in reviewing the FSM the system appears to be electric motor based. It appears that both the Auto and Manual may have been available, even in '94. Until someone else can chime in with advice, page HA-55 of the 1994 FSM (See the pinned topic in "The Garage" section if you need to download it) has a trouble shooting procedures for the Auto System.

If your hearing a relay then perhaps it is electric... which of the following does your controls look like? or Mine are like similar to the first and fully cable operated. But in looking for those pics (web search) the second one came up as a 1990, I thought the change happened in 91/92. But if that is what you have then they may in fact be electric/vacuum. Someone with more knowledge of that style will post I am sure. Since I have not had that style myself, I wonder if the actual mechanisms that move the doors electric or vacuum.

Welcome to NPORA It should be mechanical, my 88's also has very little resistance but if you move it somewhat quick then you can hear the HVAC door close at each extreme. If that a try and if you hear nothing then it may very well be possible that the cable has come disconnected for one reason or another.

Hey headpeace I am going to lock this thread (just to keep related info together) but not before giving you a link to an existing one to continue your inquiry in Tire Balancing Beads

Used it to (hopefully) exterminate some moles.

Seen how small that bolt is? I always use a lever to move the alty and never rely on that tiny little bolt to do it, to easy to.. well.. shear it off

Yes, using an old, stretched or otherwise worn out belt would be a problem too.

Not a troubleshooting thread But, if your using a stock belt then it should not be a problem, unless A: they gave you the wrong belt. B: your have something limiting the adjusters range of travel. C: your doing it wrong!

Head over to the New Members section and look for the "Common Problems" pinned topic

So does this one Yeah I know what you mean, my car uses Coil On Plugs too

Ah that explains the odd look, picture is fuzzy (could be the screen I am using) so I was not going to question it Well, if you have not already got the rest of the plug out,I would use compresses air followed by a vacuum to try and get as much remaining crap out from around the plug before attempting to remove. And try and keep a vacuum on it during removal (if possible) and after to help prevent as much as possible from falling into the cylinder. If you have a long straw-like detail attachment for a shopvac that will help a lot. I have even taped a straw to a standard corner attachment in a bind before.

Ejected... as in forcibly removed? Are they cylinders threads still on the plug? And coil? Do you mean wire? It does not look like a COP to me, does the R50 use COPs?
