Notice how alot of these involve people from countries with a high amount of alcohol consumption? nipper

:clap: Not if you stretch it, should be fairly easy to do to a brat nipper

Its one assembly, its two differnt parts, actually four. The bracket, pump, sensor, and low fuel light. The other sesonsor is just the bracket and the sender. i'm suspisous of this entire diagnoses. Take it to a dealer or someone else. Its rare for these things to go. Are you sure its not a pressure transducer? What trouble code are you getting? This is a very very rare of the car to give trouble, except for them being innacurate.

What you never owned an Studabaker Avanti? I have owned a "botload" of manuals too, but untill your in bumper to bumper traffic up a 3 mile incline on a bridge, you never really lean how beutiful a hill holder is, as the hand brake thing gets tired after a while. It really does extend the life of your clutch, even on minor inclines. But its your car. nipper

Before i replaced my 2.5L in Blu at 181,000 miles i got 19/27. With the same car a new engine i get 21/27. nipper

Well if they arrive on a monday, and you dont get to them till the weekend :-p i looked harder at the pic, i cant really tell what thyey are from. i'm guessing its not a matched set, unless subaru made some mysterious 8 cylinder car we dont know about hehehehe nipper

fedback on a car part that takes a few days to install isnt reliable. You can't go back and change the feedback. Also on the newer forums there are a few people that have gotten crap ebay head gaskets. personally i just wouldnt do it. You say you bought several sets off ebay, i hope not for all the same engine. nipper

Sigh, how can you not like something you didnt know you had, nor yet understand how to use? They were standard equipment on manual trany cars. just disconnect the cable if you dont like it. They are adjustable, so get yourself a manual and read up on it. nipper

http://www-mat.ee.tu-berlin.de/research/sic_sens/sic_sen3.htm actually it can even by higher. Technically the car engine is a heat engine. this is because i thought it was cool http://www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/K-12/airplane/engopt.html nipper

A spark plug jumps a airgap and grounds out on the electrode. The electrode is a fairly large target. As we know from lightning, high voltage electricity does what it want when it wants to. If you have plugs fowling, or burning oil, they are sometimes handy to have. If they are only a little more money, its like chicken soup, can't hurt. If its alot more money, its not worth it. Also any new sparkplug will out perform an old sparkplug. nipper

If its already weak its already weak. Combustion pressures are 15-18,000 PSI at time of combustion. It wont even notice it. nipper

SOme people love them (like me) some hate them. Personally i think it was responsable for getting 180,000 miles out of the original clucth on my 88 GL. i love them. especially in stop and go traffic up hill. nipper

Then we will answer his question ... no we can't identify them. :-p Dont buy headgaskets on ebay. It's too important a part to cheap out on. nipper

i just worry about the raidiator passage ways collapsing under full vaccume. Everything else can deal with it. Dont use a millitore vacume pump, then youll collapse alot of things. IN this case a cheap vac pump is best. nipper

Follow your clutch cable. If i remeber correctly there will be a second cable coming off the clutch fork going to the HH The way a HH works: Stop on an incline. Depress the clutch, release the brake. The clutch will hold the car in place (by holding the left front brake) Untill the clutch is released. When the clutch is released, the brake lets go, and off you go. nipper

Nothing big here, sounds like your clutch is tired, or the clutch cable is stretched out. Try starting off from a dea stop in 4th gear. If the car bucks and stalls the clutch is fine. If you can do it the clutch is tired. Then look at the clutch cable, it may be ready to snap. nipper

DO you have a hill holder? nipper

The motor also has an internal park switch, so yes it can be the motor. Open it up clean the switches and lubricate the drive and see what happens. Clean the wire plug. nipper

Never have a very bad wheel bearing? Besdies the car is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay down there, and i'm up here. May be a combination of things, may just be pads.:-p As long as he is there pulling off the wheel he should check everything. nipper

of course its hoooked up to the speed signal. In car units are wired into the vss system so they can do some dead reconing when they use the satalite, along with the wheel angle sensor. put the car in drive with the wheels chocked and no foot on the brake. This will tell us if it is wired into the NSS or not. Try to fiddle with it then. nipper

YOU must be really careful when you do this. The cooling system is not designed to have a large vacume on it. I am all for anything that works, but in all honesty, in 35 years of working on cars (since i was 10), i never had a problem with air trapped in a cooling system. Dealers have fancy systems becuase time is money to them, and anything that speeds up the process saves them money. The avg Joe doesnt really have the need for a vac pump. Its really simple, fill the system with the car running, wait for the t-stat to open, keep filling the system. Squeeze the upper hose if it makes you feel better. Seal the system take a test drive. Check the fluid level when it cools off, top off as needed, and your done. nipper

VC is sealed, nothing leaks. Manual tranny is sealed. Automatic which uses a clutch pack, remove the driveshaft the auto fluid leaks out. nipper

Technically it already has. On a manual the car can become unsteerable worse case scenario (seen it once on here). You can also damage the front and rear differetionals and other driveline parts. Dont wait it out, get it fixed. nipper

AC COndesnor that will do it. There is a cheap tool for straightining the fins. nipper

Yes
