First time I went, a 1950 Ford won Top Stock, and my '56 Ford took Competition Eliminator. :) Good times, Dan. They were consistent. Now about the reaction...

Hi all, If anyone can help out, I have this problem with a '97 Olds Cutlass, 3.1L motor. Just recently, as the weather started getting warm, the car would not...
I would quick check the fpr. pull the vaccum line off of the fuel presssure regulator and look for any wetness or fuel. Try starting the vehicle with the ...

Be careful...if this is the case, and the diaphragm in the FPR is bad, then fuel will come spraying out of the vacuum hose fitting on the FPR. Remember what...
LOL ... yes - in this case fire is certainly bad! :) Well, the car has run today, but I haven't driven it anywhere (nor will I until my truck is back to tow...
Bet you don't have spark when it won't start. If I am thinking of the right model 3.1, I'd bet you need to replace the ignition module. The ignition module...
FWIW, lack of cam sensor signal will be a no start, as it doesn't know where #1 is. Later GM started incorporating a fall back, if cam sensor not found, then...
I pulled my intercooler off tonight to install a BOV, and found oil in the bottom tank. Not a lot, perhaps a 10th of a teaspoon. My turbo is set up with the...
I have never seen a turbocharger that is completely free of oil leaks on the intake side a LITTLE oil is "normal" AllanD ... (will be updated VERY soon)...
... If you're not blowing smoke out the exhaust, I wouldn't worry about a bit of oil in the intercooler. Turbo Buicks get a *lot* of oil in their intercoolers...
Fred, I have to agree.... I helped a buddy install a 2nd intercooler on his factory 1.8T Audi A4. Less than 20K on the Odometer... And already had oil in the...
My f150 beater needs a little help in the cooling dept. I parked it the other day and the overflow tank was leaking a good bit. The coolant in this truck...
You buy a new radiator for $100, that's how you get the junk out. The overflow tank isn't leaking...you're overheating, and the excess water is coming out the...
... I had a similar thought. ... Nope, its leaking. During this scenario, the over flow tank doesn't fill all the way up. Id say 2/3 full and it starts to...
To backflush the mung out of the block, remove the upper hose, the thermostat elbow, and the lower hose. Shove your friendly neighborhood garden hose into the...
water is a FAR better cooling media than anti-freeze/water mixes, the problem is that water is very corrosive by comparison. the other thing is if you DO...

Even a 50/50 mix will EVENTUALLY turn to mud. It's due to the fact that the silicate anti-corrosion additive becomes alkaline over time. What is necssary is...
That presumes that you HAVE a C-note to spare. Personally I anticipate problems like that and buy in advance at MY convienience, usually at "sales" in the...
