  1. well monkeying around on my rig today I noticed a female spade connector just hanging below my distributor..I saw its male counterpart on the distributor so I plugged it in. Just wondering if anyone knows what it is for out of curiousity.. I have been battling a timing issue so Im thinking this may have something to do with it. Also found a plug on the same harness as the female spade connector and can't see if it plugs into anything near by.
  2. Hey guys, Looking @ giving my rig a quick shot of paint to clean it up a bit. Was looking at the summit racing paint kits, more specifically a Acrylic Urethane kit, and wondering if anyone has used it and any thoughts on it. I live on Vancouver island just North of the border and they don't ship to Canada so I need to figure a way to get it.. thanks for the help guys!
  3. I'll check the diagnostic mode and see what I get out of that. Might just buy a new distributor...They aren't as expensive as I thought..
  4. Interesting..is there a way to test this? I ran the codes recently and nothing came up..
  5. Yes, dual plugs. When I changed the plug wires i had a diagram to go off so Im very sure it is correct however I will double check.
  6. Easy to install...and look and work great!
  7. Hey guys, So heres my dilemma. Got a 87 Hardbody 4x4 pickup a while ago. Gave it a full tune up, (Plugs, fuel filter, wires, cap, rotor, air filter) and when doing all this I noticed the distributor bolts were loose and the thing wwas just moving around by itself. So I guessed the timing would not be correct so I got out my timing light and tried to time it. I have the distributor fully retarded and it's still about 22 degress BTDC, I was reading it should be about 10-15 degrees BTDC but it won't go any lower. The timing is controlled by the ECU on this thing so I really don't know what to do to get it any lower. Also, reading about this motor too is that the distributor only goes in one way if you take it out so Im guessing if for some reason it was out (Previous owner said it wasn't) it couldn't go in wrong. Any ideas? Thanks
  8. hey everyone! Just a looking for anyways input on a issue I've been having. got a 87' Nissan with the Z24 4 cylinder engine. when you first start it when it's cold it will not idle. If you take your foot off the gas it will run for maybe 5 seconds or so then die. Once it warms up its perfect..doesn;t miss a beat. i've changed the plugs, air filter and fuel filter recently and it didn't help. any insight? Thanks
