    Why I'm not a mechanic - UCF11 Wierdness.

    Update: Made it to work with no stalls (15-20 minute drive, stop and go). MAF unplugged, ran great. When I put it into park it did stall. Engine was already warmed up at the time. The stall thing still confuses, me, it has good power from top to bottom again, and I don't think it has ever ever...

    Why I'm not a mechanic - UCF11 Wierdness.

    Quick update, decided to take a look at it tonite instead of staying in bed. Disconnected the MAF and no surging issues whatsoever. I only took a quick test drive, the engine was still warm. I did put it into N while driving to give it a nice big rev and it did the smooth stall thing again 1...

    Why I'm not a mechanic - UCF11 Wierdness.

    Hello all, hoping somebody can shine a bit of light on my lastest auto adventure. A few months ago I changed out my timing belt and water pump on my 94 LS400. I didn't do it quite right.

    Bad Brake Pads?

    Looks like I have it figured out. The 2 clips I replaced the inner lower clips, and long story short I had the left in the right and the right in the left. They looked the same to me, but one of the 2 I pulled out was partially melted and eaten up by the rotor. I put in another one of the same...

    Bad Brake Pads?

    After letting it sit over night, feels and sounds alot better (consistant). The noise I'm hearing is def. the pads hitting the slots on the rotors. The time between "noises" increases proportionate to the speed of the car. I'm pretty confident it will be a easy fix tonite. But still interested...

    Bad Brake Pads?

    Hey all, I've recently installed new rotors, Baer Holdings drilled and slotted with Advanced Auto store brand pads on all corners. I was going to get the EBC pads but since I decided to do this at the last minute on my vacation I was short the money so got the cheapos. I'm wondering if the pads...

    Performance Brake Upgrades

    I've never bought from these people but I almost did. They're ISO 9000 certified and proud of it, but when asked why they don't have 9001 (which to my understanding means they actually verify that 9000 standards are met) they never replied. I'd be very uneasy about the quality of thier products...
