    Misfiring when hot

    Turned out to be the coil having rust on the terminal along with a coil wire that was rusted and read 6.8k ohms. It's a shame, someone put some sort of 8mm wires on this vehicle. :( I used some 8mm Taylor wire that I never was able to use from my Infiniti G20. Tightened the terminal up a...

    Misfiring when hot

    Runs just fine cold, but once it warms up, it starts misfiring. This truck is a TRUE beater truck used only to transport trash 2 miles round trip. I don't really want to throw much money at it when it has so many other problems. Any likely causes? Thank you.

    Just replaced master cylinder...breaks are rediculously spongy now...won't even stop

    Interesting....but what about the neverending bubbles in the master reservoir when I press the brakes? That has got to be a symptom. Thanks

    I am getting fluid to the caliper now, but please check back a few threads and you will see the issue that I am fighting now. Thanks

    I don't think this is a bleeding issue anymore though.

    Just replaced master cylinder...breaks are rediculously spongy now...won't even stop

    Hi everyone, really appreciate you helping me out so much. So I bench bled the master and bled all 4 again. All bleeders pushed out fluid. I also removed the RWAL. However, I still have the same problem I swapped out the master for. Here it is: When you press the brakes, there is a delay in...

    Just replaced master cylinder...breaks are rediculously spongy now...won't even stop

    Thanks....got the stuff to bypass the ABS unit and bought speed bleeders so I can do this solo. Still wondering why no fluid is coming out of the left front caliper. Any ideas on that? I plan on bleeding the new master too!

    Just replaced master cylinder...breaks are rediculously spongy now...won't even stop

    I just replaced my master cylinder due to a leaking reservoir grommet. I bled all 4 brakes in the following order: right rear/left rear/right front/left front. I noticed that no matter how much I tried to bleed the left front, no air would come out of the bleeder. I loosened the line and...

    How do I know if my truck has manual or power brakes?

    Ok, well just asking since when I go to Rock Auto there are numerous options for the master cylinder including manual brakes. I just didn't want to get the wrong master. Nothing like getting the wrong thing in the mail.

    How do I know if my truck has manual or power brakes?

    I plan on replacing the master cylinder and bleeding. I have worked on brakes for a while but every vehicle I have ever owned has had power brakes so I never really got involved in attempting to understand whether or not any of my vehicles had power brakes. Is there a sure fire way to tell...

    Getting door keys

    Thanks, how hard is it to pull the door handles/lock cylinders (I assume)?

    Getting door keys

    Called all dealers in my area and they advised that they cannot cut the keys for my truck since it is too old. They can't cut anything before 1992 and advised that this is probably a dealer wide situation. Any other ideas? Thanks

    Getting door keys

    As you may recall, this is my beater truck. I bought it and it just has the igntition key but no door keys. Since I have a prepaid lockout service, this is not the highest priortity so I want to see how cheaply I can get a key and what would be required of me to get that key. Again, this is...
