Re: Radiator Circuits explained?

Some additions; On a two speed fan system as Brian has been describing, with the AC off, the fan on low speed is normally barely audible (if at all) from the driver's seat with the hood closed, as in normal driving. If all is well throughout the cooling system, low speed should be adequate cool the ...

Re: Fargin won't Start II, the sequal.

Seriously, the t-belt belt has to have striped off all it's teeth around the crank gear, maybe the cam is seized or snapped?
Any oil showing on the dipstick? Look fresher than it should?

If the crank gear was fargin loose on the crank again, seems the accessory belts wouldn't be turning either.

Re: Fargin won't Start II, the sequal.

Is this the same 'fargin car?

I'm having trouble imagining how the accessory drive belts can move but the timing belt does not.

Re: Fuel sending unit has deteriorated part

That is a noise damper you're worrying over. It can be replaced with standard EFI fuel hose and clamps. The pump will obviously be a bit louder without that damper, it'll function fine in all other aspects.

Re: how to locate and replace my oxygen sensor?

........As far as I can tell, there's no way for me to try this from the top. I have managed a few creaks but otherwise that sucker is stuck good and tight. Tried spraying pb a few times, and while that helped with a couple of the creaks,.... Sometimes, when they've been in there way too long, they...

Re: puking oil

Engine oil or trans oil? Massive engine oil leaks are most often pressure leaks, cooler and switch/sender suggestions above are excellent. Trans oil, uh oh, goggle "self machining syndrome", read about the possible bad news. The number of google search returns will give you clue as to how ...

Re: oil pressure mabye?

...... When it comes to checking your own pressure mechanically... Is this easily done by a novice do-it-yourself type and what is needed to accomplish the task...... Mostly hardware store stuff will do the job. Get a gauge that reads up to 100 PSI or so, it'll probably have 1/4" NPT (pipe) th...
