Subruise Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 good luck brother, keep swappin solenoids til it stops comin up. also, my friends 88 gl also has running lights/dash lights that are on whenever the key is. thing is, his still has stock stereo (for now). so, i think i can count my stereo wiring out as the cause. so ill ask once again: ''how come my lights always be on and stuff? i know it aint the v switch'' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subruise Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 yesterday i scored some yardsale gems. compressor (3/4hp 10gal), 1/2'' impact, 50' hose for $50. shopvac, benchgrinder $25. also got lights that work w my craftsman batteries. now working and cleaning this, and the rest of the fleet that comes here for repairs much easier. passenger seat is no longer loose lol. oh, and does anybody know why my running lights operate via the key? ps....for you Maiden fans, this is my post count of the beast.

TheLoyale Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 What do you mean about the Running lights? Any parking or head lights will not work unless the key is turned to "ON" the only override for the parking lights is right on top of the steering column, that switch is always hot 12v.

Subruise Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 ya parking/corner lights. y'know, the ones that should be turn signals but arent. also the tail lights and dash lights are also on whenever the key is. ive left parking lots in the dark w/o headlights on a couple times now because of it. perhaps ill replace the switch. Thanx for the reply Tom(s) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subruise Posted August 29, 2012 Author Share Posted August 29, 2012 well it doesnt sound as beefy now, i want it to pass emissions so we can take it to Oregon this weekend. Wifey broke the clutch cable yesterday which is ok since it didnt happen on the highway, so i got to leave work early and go play soob limbo on the second of her cars (whitey did it too). then, after i got done with that, Ellis came over.........without first gear in his 88. which is once again parked at my place waiting on repairs. but hey whats another one?

TheLoyale Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 As for you running issue, perhaps a Vacuum leak? Try spraying around with some starting fluid and see if the idle changes. Get a better spotter next time :-p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subruise Posted September 20, 2012 Author Share Posted September 20, 2012 (edited) oh ya, i did the starter fluid dance. no dice. still though i cant help but think intake gaskets, just a hunch. if i squeeze the throttle i can get'er up to 6500ish rpm. stomp on it....puke. it also threw the #1 plug wire (yes it came off)that was prolly me tho. Oh ya, Tom, waffles are tasty with peanut butter Edited September 20, 2012 by Subruise waffles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subruise Posted January 5, 2013 Author Share Posted January 5, 2013 stainless you say?? i say chrome... difference? i dunno. what i do know, is i efn looooooove whitey. so glad to have him/her (yea, hes a hermaphrisoob, kinda like a frog. which is fitting, considering the somewhat amphibious nature of the roo) back in the family. nearly as happy that that silver car is only partialy my problem now. and Ellis is nearly equally happy to be rid of his old one and driving silver lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
