I finally had some time this weekend to continue diagnosing my potential CSV/TTS issue. I'll have to admit, however, that I'm a bit confused now. I spent time tracing out wires and looking for...

That's an interesting find... I'll see if I can check out that jumper on my connectors also. Thanks highlighting that one.

This bit is interesting... David, do you happen to know if there are specific advantages with the modified wiring? (W/R wire connecting to both the CSV and the TTS) It seems like one possible...

My car has a cold start issue which I'm fairly certain stems from a problem in my cold start valve circuit. Here what I have observed thus far:

- I've preformed the "plug swap" a few times now...

I replaced the 2 relays, 2 resistors, and 2 transistors in my DLM last night. In case you don't know about this tool already, I thought I mention that a desoldering pump makes this upgrade really...

Dana... This is great! Good timing indeed. I didn't realize that DPNW stocked the appropriate relay, so I'm glad you pointed that out. It just so happens that I placed an order with them...

I'm going through a similar process as DMC-81 of evaluating the door lock module solenoids in my car. I'm interested in upgrading the components within my original Door Lock Module as described by...

I do find this exhaust temping, but I must admit that my biggest hangup is the lack of cats. I'm no expert on this subject at all, but is this somehow not an issue in some states/counties? If I...

Update: I dropped off the closing plate at a local shop for sandblasting and powder coating last week. I'm looking forward to seeing the results. I'll posts pictures once I get it back.

Had some more time to work on this tonight... I did finally get the old return hose loose! Thanks for the advice on this one.

I quickly discovered my next problem. Hervey's new SS return hose...

Can cats be reintroduced on this setup if we live in a State/County where cats are required in an emissions test?

I received the some parts this week: Master Cylinder, Steering rack boots, and a pair of tie rod ends. (I probably should have ordered a caliper rebuild kit too... That might be next.)

Question...

I made some progress last night with the re-installation of a rebuilt fuel distributor and its associated SS fuel lines. I ran into a minor (hopefully) difficulty near the end of my work session...

Great tips on re-installing the tie rod ends! Thanks!

On the topic of the brake master cylinder -- I have decided that the MC probably needs to be replaced. Obviously this will need to be done...

Thanks Dave & Tillsy for the tip on removing the tank to check the frame. Tillsy, thanks also for the example pictures. What did you use to clean up that area prior to coating.? I haven't done...

Great... It helps to have this initial reference point. I'll probably start calling a few of the sandblasting shops around town tomorrow.

Hmm... I'm interested in the sand blasting idea. I've never had any sandblasting work done before, but I can see from a quick Google search that there are some shops in the area that do it. ...

After a long stretch of not getting work done on my car (winter and too many business trips), I finally had the time to finish replacing all the coolant hoses on the car. I finished with hoses at...

Rob,

I am so glad that you said something about shims! I was already thinking about trying something like this after repeated (failed) attempts to get the dashboard to slide further forward. ...

Jonathan,

Unfortunately, I've already torn it all apart again. I did just go out an take a couple more pictures of the just dash alignment in case this helps. One thing I've noticed is the...

I was in the final steps of reassembling my interior the other night by re-installing the center console when I ran into a fitting issue which I didn't expect. The part of the center console which...

I just checked Google Maps... You are 1,815 miles from my location. Hey... I know! I bet you have been looking for a good excuse to visit the beautiful Rocky Mountains. Free room and board!

Rob.... I'm very close to picking up the die grinder and compressor. Thanks for the "encouragement." My undersized compressor actually just went out a couple weeks ago, so why am I looking for...

Rob... I understand the value of using the right tools. I obviously would rather buy the right tool than buy a new engine. I've already spent over $150 in bits and grinders which have all broken...

Great feedback and suggestions, everyone. I really appreciate the input. This is keeping me sane -- hearing that it is actually possible to get this bolt out and avoid buying a new engine. :)
