The color of the pad denotes it's coarseness but there is no standard so different manufacturers use different colors. You want to use the least course pad you can to achieve the desired effect. Too...

Sounds like the fuel system is still not operating correctly. I would start with having the fuel injectors cleaned and tested and replace the seals. Then test the cold start system to see if the Cold...
Do you still use the orifice tube or do you change it to something else like the VOV? As for the compressor, it is basically the same as the R-12 one with a higher pressure relief valve and different...
Make sure all of the clips that hold the grills in place are all there and tight. Missing or loose ones can cause vibrations and rattles. Check the rear window to make sure it is still bonded to the...
Just what exactly is a "Proper" conversion? What is done besides changing the refrigerant and oil, and putting the adapters on the service valves? In my experience you lose about 10% cooling capacity...
I agree, it looks like someone screwed -134 adapters onto your -12 service valves. Try to stay with -12, nothing will cool as well as R-12 with the stock A/C system. On a lot of the cars I have...
If your car smells bad it could be an oil leak dripping onto the exhaust or maybe you are in open loop and/or running too rich. For it's time, the K-Jet fuel system in the Delorean had very low...

Do you hear the frequency valve buzzing? Is there power to the ECU?
A "full" tune-up also includes the O2 sensor, checking and if necessary adjusting the valves, and resetting the Lambda counter. It's also good to do a compression test and checking the A/F mixture...
If adjusting the mixture screw has no effect on the dwell meter reading the ECU is in "Open Loop" meaning it is not adjusting the mixture according to the O2 sensor. Could be the motor isn't warmed...
Another thing to note, do NOT use teflon tape on the TTS. It MUST be grounded to work and teflon tape can isolate the switch from ground. As I said in earlier posts, the most common reason for the...
Have an assistant hold the clutch pedal down while you see if you can find the source of the leak. Most likely the seal in the slave cylinder or a connection. If the master cylinder was leaking and...
The biggest cause for idle problems is vacuum leaks. Like Bitmaster says, a problem with the vacuum advance can also affect the idle. So can dirty fuel injectors with bad patterns. Other...
Removing that cruse control was the right thing to do, especially if your car is a 5 speed. Tapping power off the ignition coil was a bad place to power it, it should have come off a direct battery...
Sounds can be "sneaky", seems like it comes from one place but is really coming from somewhere else. Since you only have one belt on it is probably either the water pump or the alternator.
Make sure you are not over-filled, that can cause a leak and make a small leak a big one. Also important to use the correct oil. Common leaks are the axle seals and the oil pressure sender on the...
It is possible that your "O" switch is shorted to ground. Disconnect it and watch the amp draw and see if it stays low. Make sure you don't overheat the motor during your test. You could stick a...
Wednesday, the 6th, on the Motortrend cable channel, there is going to be an episode with a Delorean. From the trailer it looks like Derrick is going to take a barn find Delorean and do an engine...
Anything you can do would help. One owner wrapped a coil of fuel line around the A/C accumulator to cool the fuel. A vendor used to sell a big rubber shield to direct the air from the radiator down...
A floor jack and jackstands would be more flexible. Hard to work underneath the car with that thing in the way.
Take the wire off the sensor and ground it. If that doesn't turn on the oil light with the key on something is wrong with it. A broken wire or a burnt out bulb would be among the first things to...
Apply 12 volts directly to the CSV when the motor is running and the fuel pump has gotten full pressure. Rare for a CSV to not function with a full 12 volts. Easiest way to do it is the plug swap but...
Typically the problems in the CSV system are electrical in nature. A bad connection, wiring mods, a bad TT switch, the plug on the TT switch forced on incorrectly, that kind of thing. The polarity to...
Do NOT try to clean it. Inspect it and if it is all sooty and/or looks like it got very hot, it is probably No Good. Shake it and if you hear stuff loose inside it is NG. Otherwise just put it in.
