    AC issue, loud metallic smashing.

    If you have one of them " pancake compressors " they are prone to make noise, Mine makes a hell of a racket ( kinda like a hammering / crackling sound ) when the clutch is engaged. At first I just replaced the clutch But it made no difference, so I put on a brand new one from 4 seasons and it...

    Schurkey : SUM-868858 is the Summit wires I used last time, Looking at the speck sheets they appear to be made of the same material as the ones you posted. Looks like the only thing different between the two is the color and the cut to lenght option...

    Cruise control fuse location

    When I have trouble with my cruise control and the fuse is good, I have found that either : 1) The brake switch under the dash is stuck on causing the cruise control to " turn off " ( usually hitting it with some wd-40 gets me going for a while ) 2) Some water has gotten in the control box...

    When I am reading the fine print at the bottom of the NKG ad you posted, it talks about having " 1/2 the resistance of traditional carbon core wires " Are the " wire wound " wires the same as " Low Ohm " wires ? or are the Low Ohm wires something else and the wire wound wires an even...

    The engine was not misfiring before installing the Autozone cap, rotor, wires and plugs , But it was throwing a SES lite and a 32 code before the Autozone parts. It was because of the code 32 and general lack of power that I initiated the tune up. The instalation of the EGR valve took care...

    New Dizzy and ICM, New Cap, New Rotor, New Wires, New plugs, New EGR valve, New IAC valve, it is not throwing any codes. The only thing I have not replaced is the Coil but It did check out OK with an volt meter test. Are these coils noted for creating a miss when they warm up ?

    Well, I made it out to the garage before I read Road Trips post, so I did not take any " before pictures " But this is what I found. 1) Half of the OEM wire clips that are shown in the above pictures are missing on my unit. There are some metal tabs ( #8 support in the photos ) where I...

    I am having the same issue with a random misfire as the OP after installing all new tune-up parts from Autozone ( Duralast Gold wires, cap, rotor and AC CR43TS plugs ) and came upon this thread looking for a solution. I did put a wire loom on the coil wire witch was resting on the #1 plug wire...

    PSA: 1988-1995 stumble after EGR valve replacement

    So now I am wondering, Are there also two separate EGR solenoids, and do they need to be paired together ?
