Huh, P0180, fuel temp sensor A...never heard o' that one b4. At lease you're getting codes...mine won't gimme anything.

He did, post #9. Started, ran rough...got engine light.

Yessir, that is it. Definitely. I had the exact kind of damage to one of the struts on my Neon when I used stiffer springs for autoX. The installer (read, me ) screwed up and cross threaded the nut. That is crossthreading without a doubt. Broken threads due to pressure alone would not show crossthread scoring (middle of the threaded area) and one would actually see the bolt (part with the threads) stretch a bit, allowing the nut to basically run over the threads themselves (they would loook like the threads at the bottom, rounded off in one direction...up). Take it back to the shop and get them to replace the strut for you. Basterds...

Good luck! 40 minutes away...that is nice...I wish I were 40 minutes away too...none of this shipping and handling shnit! Keep us posted.

LOL that was the fastest answer I've seen anyone type...

Holy mother of...(choose your title) Ex-brit is absolutely correct, unless the spring is not the right part and/or the top nut was cross-threaded, it should've held. Do you have photos of the coils, especially compared to your originals? Also, do you have measurements? Can you take measurements? Spring inner/outer diameter, top to bottom measurement, wire thickness...I's sure someone with the A/C springs might be able to throw in some info re: your springs once photos and measurements are up. Once you are sure the front coils are the correct part, go after those who sold you the strut. If it is the springs that are incorrect, go after A/C. Hopefully no one is hurt and the spring didn't kill/maim anything important to you. I've heard of springs taking people's legs off...well, not literally but escaping with enough force they shatter bone into hundred's of pieces...dangerous things, compressed springs are.

Oh, I'm sure they are at least as high as my waist, if not half-way up my back 4'-5' high...they just seem a bit...out of place and...exposed, compared to the rest of the setup on the -mog.

Hey all, My Yesterday I watched a WWII movie...I know, Hollywood...no, but really it clearly displays the true nature of people during wars. It is about how we can all be brothers if/when not carrying out the work of evil-doers. Part of the story focuses on two soldiers, one german, one american, both wounded, yet somehow they find it in their hearts to help each other and treat each other with civility. I am sure the war was riddled with hundreds of untold instances like that one. It is not a good movie by any means but it does drive home the message that wars are not the solider's war, they are the botched-up dreams of mindless, butchering leaders sending normal folk, with families and dreams to their deaths. Personally, I love all types of WWII Aircraft, Ships and Weaponry. In most instances, there is no one clearly better than the other. Each had their faults and benefits. My dad had a huge collection of books and videos on WWII which he unfortunately sold but those books were hours of enjoyment for me. Spitfires, ME109's, Zeros and Mustangs are mongst my favourites. My absolute favourite (thanks to Pappy Boyington and The Black Sheep Squadron ) is the F4U Corsair. I finally got to see one live last year at the Boeing Aircraft museum in Seattle. What a beauty!!!! Personally, I didn't lose anyone in any of the wars and empathyse with anyone who did. I think that aside from a few knuckleheads who went to war with the intent to harm and kill, no one went willingly or happily. Most were brainwashed or ofrced into service and into thinking this was a necessity and their duty. (Duty to protect their rights and freedoms yes, totally) Their duty to kill others whose "duty" was to kill them...well...Wars are a terrible thing made up by those who never fully grow and wisen up. Oh yeah , and what is that monstrosity? Russian-ized unimog? It looks absolutely brutal! Except I don't see why one would put fogs so low to the ground...just beggin' for them to be ripped off. NE way, nice to see everyone getting along... That is why I come here...

I looked into the FSM and I cannot find anywhere, which hose is for what. I also tried cutting and pasting a photo to illustrate but no such luck. Sorry. I'll try again but still, without directional flow indicators I don't think it'll be much help. EDIT: I just realized, ther emight be some indicators on th epump itself, if it is not too much trouble for you to pull out (or if you already have a spare, check on that one)

Nice! Scary too. Like the safety steps they took prior to firing the gun...

Good to hear!

You didn't have to order from them...I'm sure you could've found them at a Lordco and had them same day or the next... How many did u order?

Wha...?

There ya go....

So, I'm guessing you took out the spacers?

Bah Humbug! I hate diagnosing...

Happy Birthday...37...ahh, the good ol' days

I yawned...

Ok...so, here goes nut'n. After waiting for a while for Fleury's flange spacers to arrive (Thank you very much Fleury) I finally had time to install them today. Installed the passenger side first since that was the one giving me trouble (and I didn't want to fight the driver's side, which has not been removed, ever) and found out that with the 1/4" spacer, the original axle binds. So, I am at a loss for words and think that I am now relegated to replacing the axle boot and removing the NX4 spacers in the name of reliability.

Ok, so I removed my distributor and other than the slight surface rust on some parts and a bit more play than the new one, there were no other issues I could find. Changed it and everything seemed fine for a while. Then I put it in reverse and it bogged again. So, that is negatory on the fixin' department for: Distributor TPS AICV plugs wires cap/rotor Next to try: MAF then, Fuel Pump then, O2 Sensors then, EGI relay (apparently these fail as well...this relay powers the injectors to fire fuel into the cylinders.)

Changing wires at that truck's age is definitely a good idea. I get 300-350km outta mine (1998) with unlocked hubs and a great big rooftop tent. (my ride is running really rich right now though) If you don't have a bush bar, you can get a CARR light bar and mount two there. (comes in black or chrome and mounts to your front bumper behind/with the license plate. I am thinking of getting one. Also, if you have a roof rack/basket and said roof rack/basket stays on the car year-round, you could put your lights on there. I have a set of lights on the front bumper, a set of light on the roof rack, facing forward and a set, on the roof rack facing backward.

Not in North Van. If you're ever in Richmond, there is a shop I use for alignments...can't think of the name right now though... North Shore off road I think also has a garage. They might be able to do your alignment...I'll get back to you on the richmond shop.

I guess that is talent...in some circles For several tricks, he stands like a girl...a tough, rapper girl or someone who needs to take a...well you get the clench. Oh, and he's wearing out the green... I guess I'm just jealous...he gets to stand around in warm, sunny weather, playing with his balls wile I have to work .

walked into that one....I thought of making a comment much like yours JamesRich but something held me back...now I'm glad I didn't...

Take it to a shop. that way you'll be sure the camber AND toe are right where they should be. There is a very slight chance you might have to use two bolts per side (one on top, on on the bottom) or elongate the top bolt hole in both struts for further adjustment. Where in BC are you?
