SO no one has checked the inhibitor switch (or NSS if it is a manual) or tried starting the car in neutral?

It can also be a loose ground wire someplace or a bad head unit. Do get it to the dealer before the warrnety is up.

The inner tierods may seem ok, but unless they are extreemly tight they may need replacing. Don't mess with the backlash adjustment as that is for a factory adjustment. In the old recirculating worm and ball system it could do some wonders. Clicking, did I miss something? May I have a better description of the who what when where and why?

Double check all your connections. You are in limp mode.

I am just lurking as Blu needs a rack too. His leaks, and really leaks at 80 plus mpg. and er um, triple digits, so I have been told.

The SVX is not a clutch typ LSD. The LSD is viscous type. It would be wonderful if it was a mechanical clutch type. This may apply http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=901362

When the transmission is warmed up the lubricant thins out. The thicker lubricant may provide enough drag on the synchros to keep things moving. You may be able to try some Redline lubricant.

Slime. Take out the tank (if possible I don't remeber how they come out in 2000). I put small pebbels in the tank and shake the hell out of it with some water in the tank. Others may have other methods, which leads to the next question .... when was the last time the coolant was changed?

When you have multiple codes you always look for a common denomnator. I see a jumped timing belt, Evap may be just a fluke, but the rest make sense along with the sudden onset of the problems. Start there.

I can not go the weekends of 18-19 and 25-26 otherwise I would love to.

Fos all the time you are putting into this, why not just replace the bad O2 sensor, and no you can not over ride it. It si TRYING to catch your attention and protect the cat and keep emissions good Replace the O2 sensor

Actually first see if there are any fins left at all. Another posability is a clooged radiator

Yes what he said. dealr parts last XXXXXX miles, and i think that for some things they are worth every penny to get the same mileage out of.

I am trying to find a cd player (WB would be nice) for the Justy (Who will be christened Justy when registered). What year could they play MP# files?

Do the Alt test and stop guessing. It will save you a lot of grief to rule it out or condem it.

I thought the car wouldnt run without this.

Loose heat sheild on the exhaust system.

How to PROPERLY test an altenator step 1 NEVR EVER have it bench tested step 2 check idle voltage (just because) step 3 with everything on, rev the engine to 1800 rpm and check the output. Voltage shold be 13.5 to 14.2. I bet you wont reach that number. Benchtesting has to be properly done, which 99% of people do not know how to do, rebuilders do. Another BS thing to watch is digital alt handheld testers. Another item no one knows how to read or use. The old fashioned silver toaster works fine.

*ahem* I have a shop manual for 1998 that is PDF (same as 97). It has duplicate pages in it but otherwise is fine. Contact me off list.

I am not sure of the igntion black box without seeing the manual, but usually they are signal amplifiers. How exactly did you "test" the alt. Bench testing isnt worth the time it takes to remove a fanbelt.

Sicking brake caliper. grease on a cat exhaust from a broken boot oil leak.

Under powered under braked and not made for it. I would not do it to a old small car i really liked.

How many miles on this. Have you looked for a vacume leak, eiyher a line valve, or maybe a shaft through the carb?

There is one huge cat right under the exhaust manifold, that is the only cat. What you may have cut off was the resonator. There is really no replacement exhausts system for this car (do NOT beleive what they advertise as OE replacements). The system has to be fabricated and the rear muffle pipes are weak. How did you "rebuild" the carb. Without a rebuild kit all you did was cleab up the carb. I havent heard of these ever clogging up so i doubt it is the cat. The engine revs freely so it is not the cat. Did you flush out the fuel system by draining the tank, adding good fuel, and runnning the pump and driuaing it at the carb feed line? Have you heard of Dusty's Justy's ? the site does have quite a few diagrams. Also there is the Justy proboard. a little justy community.

is it a hole or a plug?
