  1. Crankshaft position sensors are the bane of mechanics as if they do not thorw a code you can never really fault them. Sometimes you have to take a shot and replace it and not be disapointed if it does not fix it.
  2. Yup sounds like the solenoid quit or it is gummed up.
  3. I replaced mine from Autozone and have had tghem for three years, even with one stuck caliper they have not warped.
  4. Next time it happens remove the battery cable then put it back on and see if it starts
  5. See thats why you can't have nice things, you keep busticating them
  6. They shold be available in Europe, as I have heard it gets cold up there too. I prefer the block type to the oil type. The block type heats up more surface area where the oil one basically does only the oil. The oil sits in a large pond in the bottom of the engine. Neither one is perfect, perfect is both.
  7. Just leave them be. They have been there happily for 300,000 miles they may not like being disturbed.
  8. A cutch is engaged when you activate it, a clutch is disnengaged is when you deactivate it. A clutch's puprose is to disconnect power, as opposed to connect power, since if no one fiddles with it power is transmitted as it's natural state Noises like this come and go with weather and how loud the stereo was turned up. How many miles on the clutch?
  9. Could be- Alarm Main relay Ignition switch. Bad battery cable Bad ground(s) Next time it happens (amuse me) put the car in neutral and try to start it. There is not much bewtween the battery and the starter on this car hence why I am leaning towards a cable ground or ignition switch or main relay. Also those would kill the car.
  10. Well if the calpiers were stuck. Rotors can warp for something as simple as the wheels being on too tight. Also if they are really hot when the parking brake is set (like from a dragging shoe). And sometimes it just happens. Were these aftermarket rotors?
  11. It is rattling around on the fork. This is not an uncommon noise and like I said it can be ignored untill it gets worse or you do a clutch. Tis is a miata board but just an example that it happens. You can also find it mentioned on other makes. It is an annoyance. http://www.rx8club.com/archive/index.php/t-7404.html
  12. When you press the brake pedal and the gear selecter buttom you should hear a relay under the dash click, do you? The solenoids sometimes get gummed up over the years from that coke that got spilled in there and no one owned up to
  13. I can get 34 at 40mph so it may be possible
  14. Isnt there one of these already? It is thge throw out bearing. It can be lived with for a while but eventually a clutch job is called for.
  15. Mine woulod change one notch too, but that is better then running in the red!
  16. Did you try posting the image link? It will post the pic.
  17. They may use the same one for all autos (4 and 6) and use the extra tab for something on the 6. Or someones brother in law got the parts contract.
  18. Halloween wheeling,m we will be hunting down the elusive Jersey Devil. Oct 29th. We usually aim for a 10 AM start and have lunch in the pine barrens. It ends when it ends or someone gets eaten. If the last part happens it will be on Youtube. Skill level is from drive and park to get the car covered in fine NJ Pine Barren clay. All cars welcome, and trucks, and *GASP* jeeps http://s183.photobucket.com/albums/x234/nipper-dawg/NJ%20Pine%20Barrens%20March%2026%202009/ http://s183.photobucket.com/albums/x234/nipper-dawg/NJ%20Pine%20Barrens%20Nov%2023/ So far it is me and NJSubaru
