  1. So I have searched the web and here and everybody says its either on the fender wall of the passenger side or directly behind the charcoal filter on the driver side .

    I have looked and all I have on the fender wall are 3 blue single relays and behind the charcoal canister is one orange relay.

    Nothing that looks like the dual electrical plug in starter relay I got from the store to replace the faulty one.

    Does it make a difference my car is from canada ?

     

    I will post pics of the 2 locations shortly for you all to disect

     

     

  2. check the timing via crank and cam pulleys!

    I would say do a compression test but these buggers are difficult to get some banks thread / accessed .

     

    sounds like the PO was trying to rectify your problem so my instinct says ... check the timing via the crank and cam pulleys !

  3. OK , so we are done!

    I finished the tune up and fluids today .

    Well actually i didnt change the fluids as they looked fresh ..... fluid came out of every fill plug and when I put my finger on it ... it was basically fresh .

    All but the rear diff .

    Did that today with syn.

     

    #6 spark plug ... the bitch that everyone complains about .

    Simple ... have wobble extensions and pull the 2 10mm screws holding the A/C line on the firewall off. then pull that line forward.

    Walla , plenty o room with wobble extensions.

     

    Dist cap phillips were buggered so I just drilled the heads of em off , then removed cap then hand unwound the left of the studs .

     

    Rig is Done and ready for some DAMN SNOW!

     

    Im a snow hound :)

     

  4. Check out this link. http://www.hippored.com/?portfolio=cuffia-facile-easy-boot-cv&lang=en. These boots could save alot of headaches. They look great if they will work. I have a 94 SEV6 4x4 Pathfinder and just discovered the passenger side outer boot is cracked. Cv joint not making noises or vibrations yet so I'm about to do some maintenance. Any opinions on the Italian company's cv boot or any helpful shortcuts will be mucho appreciato! Thanks, Randy

     

    BRILLIANT!

    Wonder what diameter the axles are as I would guinea pig this product!

     

  5. I haven't put the filter in just yet but I went to pick up my new plugs today and he ordered me the v-groove instead of copper ... I have double platnums in it right now and they are working great to my knowledge so I opted to just leave those alone... so Fram Filter is garbage?

     

    V Groove should be copper unless you get the nickle ones .... which I would not run.

     

  6. Nice clean paint makes it easier to spot problems, and hey, the kid has a sense of ownership now... :shrug:

     

    I bet he is looking forward to driving it, and you to it being out of the shop... :D

     

    B

     

    Indeed !

    Funny though ..... he is 13 :)

    Although this is not the 1st vehicle we had bought for him.

    Started when he was 8 and I bought him a 71 VW Beetle shell for $50.

    He then sold it and bought and sold for last 5 years till we got to this one and decided ... this one is a keeper !

    He can already drive a stick shift mind you.

    He works in the shop in the summer and I pay him an hourly wage .

    My business is all family ran , owned and operated .

  7. It most likely does. There's not much wiggle room in the back.

     

    Someone recomended one of those radiator leak pours and I nearly choked on my drink. That stuff would probably gum up something shouldnt be gummed up.

     

    That stuff is bad juju !

     

  8. Yesterday my son and I ran to the shop to put in the Cam seals and the crank seal ( front) .

    Cam seals went to problem , as usual , but the crank seal was a bugger and I think the kit I got gave me the wrong one .

    Got all bogeyed up trying to install it ( complete with lots of syl glide) .

    It was weird as the kit gave me 3 cam seals and one larger one ( which was black) which I assumed was the crank seal.

    Once holding the black seal up to the crank it was obvious it was WAY to big so I grabbed the 3rd cam seal and it was an almost fit ... so I figured the cam seals and crank seals must be the same on this application.

    Well the crank seal would not seat even with a 36mm deep socket as a helper .

     

    Guess Ill order another and see if it was a Manu error.
