Finished up with some High Heat clear coat baked them done! Probably could have turned out better but for my first time I don't think it's too bad. They look better than what they did to me. Sent from my SM-G530T using Tapatalk

Installing a new gasket on my idle air control valve and wondering if I need to use RTV sealant or put it on dry? Sent from my SM-G530T using Tapatalk

Hey guys needing to know if I need to use RTV sealant for the gasket that goes with my idle air control valve I'm replacing the gasket and I need to know if I should put it on dry or put some RTV on with it. 3.3 VG33E V6 97 QX4 Sent from my SM-G530T using Tapatalk

Decided to paint my valve covers during replacing the gaskets. Giving the top part of the motor a good cleaning doesn't hurt either. Gonna order fuel injectors in the next few weeks. Sent from my SM-G530T using Tapatalk

I got an alternator from my local pull a part and for @!*%s and giggles I put it on. Same results. No change. I will definitely check my grounds. Thanks! Sent from my SM-G530T using Tapatalk

My battery is going bad. It's almost 4yrs old so time to replace. When I put this beast back together going to install new battery. Thanks for all the help. I'm in the process of cleaning the upper plenum, installing new injectors and replacing the valve cover gaskets. To be continued....... Sent from my SM-G530T using Tapatalk

Going to take the alternator and the battery to AutoZone or advance to have them load test will get back to you. Thanks for the help. Sent from my SM-G530T using Tapatalk

No it happens all the time. Doesn't matter if the a/c is on or off. If I turn one interior light on then walk to the back and turn the back interior light on they flicker. Replaced alternator 2 weeks ago just for @!*%s and giggles and the lights still flicker. When running I checked battery with a volt meter and it's at 13.65 volts. Shouldn't it be around 14.5?

Sometimes my lights will flicker. Interior as well if on. Headlights and fog lights. What would cause that? Sent from my SM-G530T using Tapatalk

I agree I think it has something to do with maybe my battery not being Top Notch if you know what I mean it will still start the car which that is possible for Batteries to be bad and still start the vehicle but I totally agree with you on that I think it's the electronics I think it has something to do with the battery Sent from my SM-G530T using Tapatalk

Maybe thinking bad or clogged fuel injectors. I read in a Haynes manual that if the battery is not Top Notch it could cause the fuel injectors not to get the sufficient electricity they need to perform to their full potential. Thus could cause a miss in my book. I might be wrong. I had ask that question before but all I got was no a bad battery or a battery that's going bad would not cause a miss. I think it would. Anyway I'm replacing all fuel injectors and replacing valve cover gaskets due to a horrible oil leak and a new battery. Once I'm done hopefully my p0300 cil will be solved. Still haven't checked compression. I just don't think that's the problem. I pulled the valve cover gaskets off and to me the heads look good there very very clean for a vehicle that has 243 thousand miles on it that tells me the guy I bought it from change the oil regularly.

Timing belt was replaced at 216k. It has 243k now so should still be good. Sent from my SM-G530T using Tapatalk

Replace lower and upper trailing rod bushings. Easier to replace entire trailing arms instead of just the bushings. I have a 97 QX4 that was doing the same thing. I replaced the upper and lower trailing arms plus the sway bar links and the sway bar bushings all on the rear end. You have to press the bushings in if installing only bushings. I didn't do anything with the Pan Rod not saying it wouldn't help your situation. I found all I needed on ebay for around 200$ I also installed new shocks. Sent from my SM-G530T using Tapatalk

Update. New plugs,wires,distributor,fuel filter, air filter,charcoal canister, and thermostat. Check engine light will come on and go off on its on. Run codes getting P0300 and P0325. Multiple miss fire and Knock sensor. Going to check compression and see if maybe that's the problem. Sometimes it runs great but when coming to stop it starts missing but will clear up.
