    740 Higher wattage head lights

    740 Poor Idle revisited

    1992 745 with Regina/REX Today I decided to dig deeper trying to figure out why the idle is so crappy, most of the time. When its cold it seems ok, but once warm the the idle dips below 500 and things get shaky, especially bad when the AC is on. I have only had the car stall twice in the winter...

    240 brake pedal to the metal

    My buddy's 89 244 has been sitting the last few months from a no start issue. I took care of the but now stopping is an issue. The pedal just sinks and the brake failure light comes on. I see no leaks and the fluid level looks OK. Bad master cylinder?

    +T eBay oil and water line kit (B21F)

    I think i have just about everything i need for my +T kit, 90+ manifold, re-clocked 13C from an 850, 740 inter-cooler and stuff. That leaves me with oil and water. I found this kit poking around eBay, and since the B21 uses 1/8 NPT for the oil switch, this looks like it should work...

    When the engine is cool and you give the throttle a quick flick there is a delay or hesitation before it revs. It goes away when warm, but I would like to address it incase of future issues. It is a regina car.

    240 89 240, trans failing.

    My buddy has an 86 with a 'factory rebuilt' trans. Short story it has well under 20k on it, probably some where between 10-15k. He first noticed 2 days ago on the highway it didn't want to regain speed after hitting some slower traffic, and since then reverse has gone from hard to engage to...

    240 Clogged heater passage?

    My buddy just bought an 89 244 and the heat does not work. The core it self seems to move coolant but the port in the head seems to be clogged. Has any one run into this and is there a way to un clog it without digging to deep? When i pulled the lower heater core hose a lot of rust coolant came...

    LH2.2 NA to Turbo

    I swapped out my K-Jet for 2.2 a few weeks back, i pulled the parts from an 86 240. While i was at the yard i pulled the fuel rail, injectors(green), MAF and ECU from an 88 740 turbo. Should this all just drop right in with the harness from the 86 NA car? The car is NA for now but i assume the...

    850 intermittent vac leak

    Alright, so, i have an intermittent vac leak that seems to happen within the first few minutes of a cold start, on chillier days. There are two scenarios when it happens. 1: While cranking there's a weird hesitation right before the engine starts and i read only 10" of vac at idle but will come...
