Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Whoever does your coolrooms would be able to do your car if you have found and fixed your leak, by your post you have.Need to vacuum the system to remove air and minmise moisture. A/C charge is measured by weight and checked by either the sight glass and gauges for correct pressures. Careful using ...

My vote is with the alternator, mine has been doing this for years still works fine have a spare for if and when it goes. It has been suggested that the alternator has stainless slip rings and that is the noise they make apparently some EA falcons made the same noise and they had ss slip rings.

Could possibly be the gas control module playing up. Check all the electrical connections might have a poor connection or corrosion. Switch off the gas so it doesn't try to change over automaticaly and see if it will then keep running on petrol.

Sido number and vin number also on aluminium veh id plates pop riveted on the plenum chamber.

Been using it for a while now. Can buy it from bursons in an aerosol size can which is enough to charge most systems. It is compatible with R12 systems. Do a google search for more information.
Cheers Rob

Dont use R134a use an alternative like Hychill instead. Lower charge amount and head pressures but works better.

Keep your foot of the accelerator when starting. Also check your ignition timing on initial crank it maybe over advanced at base setting.

I just sprayed some CRC Contact Cleaner in mine, that was a few months ago and it's still going. Also clean the throttle body out with some carbie cleaner and a tooth brush. Grant I would avoid using carbie cleaner on the throttle body or idle speed controller as it attacks some rubber and plastics ...

Use too use oxy torch, a mould and sticks of solder when replacing cells or repairing posts on forklift batteries. Make sure well ventilated and that the battery is has not recently been charged or had high current draw to minimise the creation of hydrogen gas. Some battery retailers ( proper ones ...

Cleaning the idle speed controller usualy fixes the problem. No good looking for vacuum leaks as there would be an increase in idle speed if there was any.

There is a chance that you will keep locking rear brakes all the time even with light pedal application and lose front brake effeciency without one. Try and find a similar master cylinder with an internal prop valve or get an adjustable prop valve and set it up the brake balance
Rob

Could be a dry or cracked solder joint in the ECU causing the intermittent fault, as RAY185 said use a scan tool to retrieve error codes should point you in the right direction.

happened on the brother's truck. Replaced no questions asked.

Check the fusible links at the battery, looks like normal wire but has a push together terminal only a short distance from the battery post. Usual colours green, yellow or white, colour dictates fuse amperage.

There is no way I would ever use copper for brake lines it will not withstand the line pressure. Most steel bundy tube used for for brake lines is copper coated (resists corrosion) and depending on the type of flare nut used will dictate the type of flair. Most reputable brake places will make steel ...

Hixi, ford in the US had all bell housing to block bolt patterns the same. This was for six and eight cylinders engine families so that they could use anything in anything, was a corporate standard ( makes it cheap to manufacture). This was the position when I worked for them, cant see them changing ...

Hixi, more chev engine performance bits about, and they are a bit lighter and narrower than the cleveland. I would consider the windsor over the cleveland as they rev better.

The americans have tried for years to ignore metric, double check the size it probably is imperial, may have an odd/unique pitch. Most reputable fastener businesses should be able to help. Try nearest one to the GM dealership.

I thought I answered your question on retailer notifying you of the potential that the tyre maybe "illegal". I was told and subsequently checked that they are not highway speed rated, therefore was not an issue when in the bush wheeling, just hope that nothing happens at speed, I had to fit them ...

Are you saying that your getting around 700(750) to 800 out of your standard tank,I'd be guessing around 350 400 tops out of your "108" useable L gas tank. If your getting those km's out of your FZFE I want your hints and mods coz that would kill a diesel.. I rely on 450km out of my standard tank ...

Are those mileage figures correct roblrc???? If they are that's only a combined consumption of 15.23L per 100 km (or 6.6 km per Litre) this is working on 90L of fuel and 108L of gas. Seems low for a petrol??? What else is done to your motor? Running 2.5 inch exhaust, increased the base timing ...

They are not ADR compliant for most post 86 vehicles as they are not highway speed rated or meet the tyre placard specifications. The fitter could be held liable for any damage or accident even if not caused by the tyres. This why many retailers are hesitant to fit to a vehicle, will mount to rims ...

I'm running a dual fuel 1fzfe with the standard main fuel tank and a 108ltr usable gas I'm getting upto 1300kms touring range pulling a 5.25mtr boat and camping gear (including towing the boat over Mount Hotham). Lucky to get 4km to the litre around town on gas but still cheaper than diesel in the ...

I came across the "they are illegal for highway use" when I started looking for mud tires. Upon checking it is that they are not speed rated for a lot of 4x4s. Meaning that do not meet minimum vehicle standards and can void insurance.

just fitted a 2.5" to mine running orig engine pipes. fuel economy has improved a bit but be careful of the noise and drone in the cabin, definately needs a rear resonator fitted. Did this getting ready to fit a turbo.

depending on the type os gas system, he may need to run a balance pipe from the dirty side of the air filter to the back of the gas convertor. should not cause to many problems if it is an injected system.

if the tube breaks at the s/plug end use a s/plug socket to remove or if other end then the tube should be long to grab with pliers. Because the sparkplug has tapered seat or sealing washer it only needs to be finger tight. shouldn't jam. have everything ready before you start, do one cylinder at a ...

break the porcelain out of an old sparkplug, braze a piece of tube to it then braze on an air line fitting. put the piston of the cylinder that you are doing to top dead centre stops valves from falling to far if they do drop(have done this without being tdc without problems). set air pressure to ...

1fz's dont like gas. The valves stretch & cause rough running. Then when you adjust them you cant but shims thin enough so the valves need replacing. You can get them ground but thats not realy advisable when there at that stage. You can get better valves put in but that costs a couple of grand ...

On my other G60's they work as good as disc !! All drums are very slightly dragging so its not drum alignment. How much lining is left are the shoes aligned properly, different than adjustment, only a small contact area will create drag but will not be adjusted properly $10 bucks its the master ...
