You could have a coil that is failing. Red hot cats mean very over rich condition. If both cats are getting red, check for a coil. If one cat only is getting hot, check for a cylinder misfire.

Evaporators are inside the cabin, under the dash. Perhaps you should consider having it done by a professional. TRAC makes very little difference in the labor. You just have to work around the TRAC acuator to remove the evap core. Good Luck!

Your TRAC off lite is probably not the switch. When there is a code in the TRAC system, the TRAC off light stays ON. In the DLC2, short E1 and TE1 with the key on. Count the # of blinks that the TRAC off light makes. Use this diagnostic information to repair the problem. I have not tried...

I agree on the Odometer.

On these year models. Nak or Pioneer, Without CD, press and hold AM and Tape at the same time. Then turn the ignition while holding the buttons down. Walla! ANT mode. This drives the antenna motor a few seconds longer, therefore, unrolling the entire white cord from the antenna motor assembly...

Since the cable has broken, you need to remove the broken piece manually. Next time put the radio in ANT mode to remove the mast. Also, heres a little trick from the old days! If the radio is locked up from the battery being dead or removed, Put the radio in ANT mode, turn it off and then back...

Probably an open circuit now. Dont turn on the seat heater unless you really dont like your passenger!

Check the wiring in the driver door hinge area or Bad master window switch.

The resistance wire runs throughout the seat bottom cushion as well as the seat back. The wire sits just under the surface of the leather cover. It is possible the wire has a weak spot and creates considerable resistance at that weak spot. It can burn through the thin fabric rather easily. I...

The lights are LED's in the radio I believe. I have never seen them replaced! Unlike the A/C panel.....

You may have a leak somewhere. If the A/C is not cooling, we have an issue of some kind. If it cools a little, we are probably dealing with a low freon issue. The '95 was 134a from the factory.It should hold about 2lbs, there is a yellow sticker under the hood that will give the spec. Charge to...

This was a post written to another user. This may also be your charging issue. OK, Im not there to see the car but here goes! Remove your battery and the tray under the battery. You will see where the ground cable bolts to the body on the side of the frame. Remove the bolt and inspect for rust...

Lextreme, I dont get to L.A. very often. What short do you have?

The high side is the one sticking out of the plastic shield in front of the radiator as you said. Just a note! If you are adding freon, it has leaked somewhere. You have not said what year SC this is, so Im not sure if you are on R-12 or R134a? Dont get too excited because the freon you...

OK, Im not there to see the car but here goes! Remove your battery and the tray under the battery. You will see where the ground cable bolts to the body on the side of the frame. Remove the bolt and inspect for rust or corrosion on the cable "eye" that the bolt goes through. If there is...
