Setright Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 I hear you on the weird looks! It's the only attraction of not having a garage to do it in :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slo5oh Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 If you live near the central valley (in communist held california) I'd be happy to let you use my pressure washer If not, are there no self car wash places near you? Great write up. Me and 2 of my friends got some serious looks when we changed the water pump in a mustang in the parking lot of a gas station.

coloradosubarules Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 Never get an alt from the salvage yard. I went through 4 (in 2 weeks) untill I finally broke down and bought a new one from Advance for $120.00. It's cool though because the yard gave me my lift coils for my jeep for my trouble. Saved me about $120.00 Needless to say I am a happy man. Except for thatr darn knock sensor getting wet and giving me a CEL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcniest5 Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 Each time I wet my engine, usually from spray washing the engine, my CEL comes on but it would go away after the engine is dry, usually a hour or two of driving. Is this CEL a tribute to my old knock sensor (the gray connector one as indicated elsewhere)? If it is the newer one (white connector) then I wouldn't have this CEL even when the engine is wet, correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
