    Good catch - when you take it apart again, shake the muffler. If there are converter parts inside it will be pretty obvious. I've seen them break up inside and the chunks are pretty significant.

    California is unique in that they test for NOx (Oxides of Nitrogen) which is a very stringent test. That's the one he fails. You can have a car running otherwise perfectly, passing all the tests for...

    I agree. The marks are pretty subtle, probably only happened on cars that were stuck in storage lots for extended periods of time, and a great indicator that the paint (and fascia!) is original.

    You'll probably find that the plate doesn't want to stay in position since the tiny clips that hold it in place to the frame are broken/missing/frozen. Often the screws on the small clips are frozen....

    Might depend on your ambient temp. There is a range where the TTS will fire the valve when it isn't really needed causing a slight flooding condition. Since you are in south Texas this could be the...

    Now you get to do it the correct way and take the front cover off the engine. The chain tensioner has likely "relaxed", and you need to physically reset it.

    Remove the steering wheel first.

    Take out the front seat, you'll be spending some time under there taking the larger bolts loose. Not 100% needed but helps.

    Remove the little vent cover where...

    Another thing to note is that the bosses on the plate holder are not as deep as the outside of the plate holder. This causes the fascia to bow outward toward the plate holder when the screws are...

    TBH I've always been a bit skeptical of coilovers for this reason - you are supporting the weight of the car on things that weren't designed for it. In the back, this part. It should be part of the...

    Considering that the entire frame is pretty thin, 1/4" would be overkill. Might also cause you to split the bushings.

    Also try not to upset the geometry too much i.e. such that the top of one...

    I believe all the aftermarket header kits have all 4 holes just for this in mind. My personal preference is to actually use all 4 though.

    CAUTION if you drill them out, overdrilling the upper...

    I'd agree. Brake booster failure was usually considered pretty rare, but the rubber parts inside aren't getting any younger and I'm sure failure is getting more common. You should be able to hear...

    I have not seen it done exactly as you describe. I wouldn't be comfortable with the rubber hose on a non-barbed fitting. If you can find a compression fitting that is barbed on the other end that...

    Didn't the electric car it came from have reverse? Typically, electric cars just reverse the motor to back up, they don't have a gearbox.

    I don't believe the new digital ones were in production until about 2008. It's likely an original board that's been rebuilt.

    A long time ago I plumbed a medical vacuum valve into the line so that I could turn the water off manually. This way I could run the A/C in "normal" and still have the hot water off. No need for it...

    It's a vacuum line to the hot water valve located at the back of the engine above the bellhousing. It turns the hot water off when selecting the MAX AC mode.
