paladin Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Had a ripped up 5spd tranny button 4wd in my 92 Loyale. Found a donor 88 and swapped the whole engine and tranny and now it won't run. Good fuel pressure, but no signal to the spfi. Ohms from spfi to the ECM checked. Swapped ECM, dist. and still no go on its own. Bypassed the spfi with hose from fuel pressure check guage and runs. Ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paladin Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 New rear bearing, cleaned and re-greased rear axles, replaced rf axle and bearings on 79 Brat, replaced axle, bearings and exhaust on 92 Loyale.

fwd_gl Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Is their insurance going to pay for the damages? Since technically they got in front of me before the accident occurred it's my fault :-( Really lucked out though I was able to slow from 60 --> 30 before impact. And there was no damage to radiator or any other mechanical components except for popping off the distributor rotor :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
987687 Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 If you're doing 60mph and someone pulls out in front of you, it's kinda their fault if you have to slam on the brakes and can't stop in time... I guess it's hard to prove that's what happened unless you had a dashcam, which is why I won't drive without one anymore. It's all that saved me from a lawsuit in a crash. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, probably gonna be grabbin a GoPro here pretty soon. In the "great" state of Texas there's a pretty unfortunate hard ruling that rear ending is a universal fault. Here in Austin driving is just going down the tube, no one is from here and despite the no cell phone law everyone is glued to them...

987687 Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 That makes absolutely no sense... if someone cut you off point blank, it's their fault. No reason to get a gopro as a dashcam, you can spend MUCH less and get something purpose built that's pretty decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR_Loyale Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Took the day off today to go to the JY and get the replacement HVAC control unit. Now I can reliably get heat to my windshield in my red sedan. Another item off my list. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superooo Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Trans mounts, the body side bushings on the sway bar endlinks, and both front axles again, bad trans mounts chewed my last axles in like 3k miles. Grrrr. Finished spfi, sent bratsrus my stuff for a 5 spd kit, and got one of those streetlight rainy pictures that make our cars not look like rust buckets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skysm182 Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Replacing a bad rear wheel bearing on my 91 4wd loyale. Found out why it was bad. The locking ring is missing the inside metal lip so dirt got past the seal. If anyone has a replacement ring they would like to sell, i posted in the wanted section.

iceageg Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 New radiator and seat rail. Running cool and less wobbly. Win win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatFourFrenchy Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 (edited) Painted an extra set of wheels and applied some Firestone Winterforce tires. Fresh plug wires and plugs. Still looking for the oil leak on pass side and hoping it isn't the rocker box to head gasket.

MR_Loyale Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Did my annual iac maintenance for wandering idle. A capful of Berryman's in the valve, sit 5 min, start. Repeat. Idle is now rock solid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iceageg Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 New 16" steel wheels off of a 1996 Honda Passport fitted with used 205/50 R16s. Also drove it from Denver to SoCal and back with my son. Good times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trident Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 On the way to work this morning, the clutch pedal on my '86 EA82 wagon decided to stay on the floor. Hoping it's the cable, but also ready for a full clutch replacement if need be. Parts rpl'd recently: Starter (Bosch) Fan resistor (OEM) & relay (AutoZone) All new coolant hoses/clamps (Gates) & new radiator cap (OEM) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fwd_gl Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Hah my ea81 did that on thursday (luckily right next to a parts store) was just the cable fortunately, good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trident Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Thanks. It was a broken clutch cable. Parts ordered and I'll get it back on the road Wednesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sapper 157 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Finally got the Weber running! Also did a full brake job. Had fun doing some drifts in the fresh snow today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

987687 Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 I had my clutch cable break in traffic on i84 going through Hartford. What a mess. Fortunately I had my mountain bike with me, so I used the shifter and brake cables to create a makeshift clutch cable. Made a lot of people mad by idling along in traffic in 1st gear. Oh well, it got me back to Maine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paperscale Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Stared at them and dreamt of the day when they are finished... :/ I often look out my window at mine sitting in the driveway. I'm just too busy and the weather is just too awful to do much of anything with it at the moment. I need to get my friend over to help look at it to determine if its the head gaskets that are bad, or if it could be something else. Oh I also ordered some rocker panel replacements, so thats exciting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trident Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Clutch cable installed, wagon's back on the road. I got the replacement from Autozone, it's Pioneer brand (CA-824 part #) Huge difference in the clutch feel now. Going from original clutch (190k mi) & cable to new cable/original clutch. Also found that when I eliminated the hill holder that I removed the return spring too....at least I think I did. Either way, there's not one now. Any thoughts on this? The pedal now has a "dead spot" during the first 1"-2" of travel before resistance is felt. New spring might cure that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
