besides the phone holder, cup holder, and cookie-tray flooring, I redid mine in a fine layer of mud and dirt... expecially around the passenger side window

my pathy leans left when I drive it. Prolly due to all those burritos I've been eating

you can probably go to Home Depot or similar and get some shower pan liner and cut your own

yea, I'm thinking EGR as well.

well... there ya go.

what he said.

I have never seen the knock sensor actually go bad. Usually there is a different problem that makes your truck try to overcompensate for and run sh!tty, thus causing the knock sensor to detect.

in 95, the roof rack and wind deflector was standard on the SE and LE versions. The XE was wingless.

I buy the cheapest thing that has a lifetime warrenty at Advanced Auto. If it fails, I get a freebie (just did one on my van)

I is an enginerd

I think I have an extra dip out of my 95 swap. My suggestion is a strong magnet. See if the tip fo the dip is magnetic. If it is, then when you drain your oil, slide a magnet around on the bottom of the pan and try to draw the piece to the drain hole.

condensation in exhaust etc. Also, if an engine has been sitting for a bit, there could also be some in the cylinders depending on open intakes and humidity at the time it was shut down.

if you had a blown head gasket, you would be generating big clouds. Been there. My pathy blows white for a bit after sitting for awhile. just steam as far as I'm concerned.

yea, even a single gear off will cause you trouble with the distributer. You can get her to run but you won't be able to tune it into the required timing. Go slow when removing and reinstalling the dist. It's easy to fruckup.

check TDC by pulling out plug 1 and putting a long screwdriver down the hole. disconnec the coil and hand crank the engine until the piston is at the top. Check the distributer. It will either be at post 1 or 180 degrees off. and check the plug you pulled... if it's dry on the electrode, you ain't getting fuel. Should be wet with gas if you are cranking and the fuel injectors are working

next suggestion would be to get yourself a chickenbone cross, some river stones, a lighter and a live platypus....

not sure what you mean by 'other post' There is a single big wire on the starter that holds 12V all the time There is a smaller wire that connects to the solenoid (on the side of the starter) that is tied into the ignition circuit. Turning the key energizes the solenoid which throws the big wire 12V to the starter windings. Check for 12V on the big wire. Check for 12V on the trigger wire in all key positions (off -> 0v, on -> 0v, start - 12v) if voltage isn't there, the problem is upstream and could be the connection to another relay that has baffled many and bypassed by few. I have a writeup in here somewhere about how to bypass the intermittent starter issue.

looks like a garage door handle.

typically you should address the first code first. I get the knock sensor code when the damned computer adjusts my mixture too rich or lean due to some other error like the O2 sensor etc.

that's good to know. Next time I need to get at mine, I'll try that method

Don't really see any change with RPM. Will change the thermo and take a whack at flushing the HC. I wonder if I can swap the hoses and run it backwards... hmmm... I'll have to think about that. In theory, should unblock whatever may be blocked. Of course, then I'll have to drain and flush the entire system.

nope... full to cap and half full in burp bottle.

I did the same thing on both sides... extensions and u-joints, Have someone reach from the top to hold the socket on the nuts. First things first... get some penetrating oil on them and get it hot. I couldn't torch mine so I slapped oil on them and ran it up to operating temp. Hit with some more oil as it was cooling down. Good luck

You knock Casey.T on the floor a few times to make sure he is unconscious, then open his wallet, snatch $226, and run home

I suspected a clogged heater core but I hear it's abitch to replace/repair. I'll go thermo first just to be sure (my water pump is starting to make funny sounds) and see if it fixes it. Now... if it would just get above freezing here so I could do the work...
