1 Lucky Texan Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 (edited) wife's 03 H6 OBW threw 4 misfire codes and P0456 (small evap leak) I cleared them to see if they come back. Tightened the gas cap - dunno if that could have been related. It's a little disturbing because i did a lot of work on it recently including changing the plugs. But, also filled the tank about 20 miles before plus, a 'strange' driver was driving the car, my daughter, when it happened so ....kinda weird. I once had spurious misfire codes when the battery was going bad too. Edited May 15, 2012 by 1 Lucky Texan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 When I Finished my intake Manifold's mods, I was thinking about painting it Yellow but I decided to let the Silver aluminium colour live... But a Pink Intake is something New to me... this is the Very First time I See one intake in Pink! Kind Regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoyale Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Now now, it is not Pink. It is supposed to be Cherry Blossom Red, so I found a Cranberry paint which is a close match (Not perfect) but works Haha. Cheers!

hanyou Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Changing the timing bumped me from 18mpg city up to 24 Turning the car on makes the battery show in the red, even once it starts idling.. driving gets it back up to normal until I turn on the a/c. Autozone says battery was bad, threw in a brand new one.. same results :s Also, $120 for the cheapest new battery?! X_X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NO WAY.... Did they even CHECK the battery? Sounds like alternator if it's low at idle, but fine voltage at higher RPMs. It could be a tired alternator, or it could be tired wiring. No way to tell without some volt meter testing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kayoteq Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 celebrated 170k with a fresh tire on the refinished spare spare. Yes found a tire shop that didn't blink when I asked for 13s.. There's enough of a local population of econo cars to keep them alive.. probably will get my extra 4 wheels populated and balanced soon anyway the manufacturers are phasing them out correct? Or just urban myth but Sears doesn't have crap. Well their inventory is like, 1. walk over to the 4x4 behemoth tires and muse how my whole set cost less than one of those.

I powder coated the top cover matte black. before picture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
987687 Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I never bother cleaning used engines and transmissions. it's just gonna get dirty again... heh. I think I win grimiest transmission ever. (it had quite a few issues... leaking oil was one of them) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1-3-2-4 Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I was bored and wanted to shoot with this HF powder to see how it was plus gave me something to do while the weather was nice but holy crap you win with that transmission lol... My current one puked all over the crossmember once and I remember after cleaning it up and all and I went to step on it I almost ended up falling in the engine bay.

derburger Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I think my 86 XT Turbo has a blown head gasket or cracked head(s), it failed a combustion gas leak test and has milkshake under the radiator cap. A leakdown test would find out for sure? A repaint was supposed to be the ambitious summer project! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpreset Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 to day i replaced the fuel filters o my 85 hatch also the air filter and some vac lines when it cools down ill go change the oil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatFourFrenchy Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Today I hauled the donorwagens engine to the steam bay and gave it a thorough cleaning gefore I give it a complete reseal. Took two convertors and got exhaust quiet again so now the TOD on engine is very pronounced. Looking forward to putting in a quiet engine with half the miles.
