My fix for the destroyed screw hole worked out good. I used two layers of 2 or maybe it is 4 oz. glass cloth. I could have done more but since I plan to cut clearance holes in the fascia, you don't...

I just saw this larger 3D resin printer and it looks like it would print my HVAC face plate flat. Not only would that speed up the print but it should print without any supports so very little extra...

That would make the license plate to stick up even further. I don't see any problem cutting the fascia so it clears the license plate.

On my car the lower right screw holding the license plate surround on was over tightened and damaged the surround at the screw hole. I've seen this on many cars (same hole). Anyway, I was fixing...

I fixed that bad "crimp". I was able to open the attempted crimp, cleaned the inside by scratching with exacto. Stripped a new part of the wire, cleaned it with 220 grit and tinned the wire. Then...

Found the problem. Not sure if this was done at factory but it looks like someone could not use a crimper on that red/black wire. It does look as old as the good crimped pins.

Do the...

I need to find some other things to order from DPI else shipping is $25.

My LH rear light was intermittent and it turns out moving the connector a little makes or breaks the connection. My rear light circuit boards have gold plated fingers so the problem is the OEM...

The schematic and some parts define which side of the car is defined as left hand (sitting in the car looking out the front). This is done rather than saying drivers side or passenger side because...

I just did an export from Fusion360 of the same HVAC face plate from TinkerCAD and the .stl file is 562 Kbytes. The .stl from TinkerCAD is 437 Kbytes. I wonder why the size difference. I may have...

Maybe your thermostat is stuck open. You can start the car cold and let it idle while feeling the pipe where the otterstat is mounted. It should stay cold and then suddenly get hot when the...

TinkerCAD now lets you export to Fusion360. I tried it with my HVAC faceplate and it worked. I can now view it on Fusion360 and maybe edit it. I could export it to a step file but my design did...

Those symptoms tell me your mixture is lean.

I would think a 1/4" steel plate would do.

You can't make design changes to a .STL file so it is not a source file.

That is one most people use but I don't use it enough to justify the cost. Maybe 1 or 2 months a year max.

I'm looking for a CAD design software just to do "engineered parts". I don't want something that can animate or do modeling of cartoon charterers. Yes I know of many but you have to pay a large...

I would not think a small vacuum leak would lean the mixture because the lambda O2 sensor would compensate.

I have run fuel additives hoping to fix problems. No harm was done but not typical it fixes anything. I see google searches show everything can increase affect smog testing. But i did see lean...

If your injectors were all working the same, my guess is that's not your problem. What does it cost you now to get it tested?

Good idea to go early. The offer still stands for the ECU. You would not have to install it, just unplug the connector from your old one and plug it into mine.

If you want to run your next smog test with my redesigned lambda ECU, send me your shipping address.

That is a good idea. I have a spot welder that I could attach battery cables to which would probably also work. Also would not create a big spark.

I agree that testing the injectors is your next step. When you push the air flap, don't press it very far since the testing is mostly low RPMs. Do they put any load on it (Dyno) during the test?

I've been thinking a lot about your failed emissions. Since you passed at the same place before, maybe they changed or updated their equipment or software. The calibration should be the same but...
