So my tail light fuse was blown, put it back in and dash works ( cause of taillight & dash safety system )But I still only have headlights with ignition ON and clutch pedal still activates brake lights along with brake pedal doing the same

Who’s all in so cal that’s running and would be down to meet?1292 is running again as my daily for the past few months.Would be nice to see another vr4 as I haven’t in many years.Maybe meet at a racetrack or something?

So ever since I bought the car I only have headlights and dash lights when the ignition is ONDash lights and brake lights would light up when hitting clutch or break. Regardless of ignitionI took my clutch pedal out and in the the other day and a day later my dash lights stopped working...

Indeed I bumped the thermostat housing and made wires touch each other causing sensor ground.

So the car was running fine today, I went to change the valve cover gasket and decided to add PCV system back to stock.Did BLT , Cleaned injectors ( with eBay battery powered device ) and put in new injector seals.Did BLT and holding pressureGo to restart and just get a bunch of cranking...

1292 sat for 10 years spent about 4K getting it back on the road last year. Took on a road trip to San Francisco from San Diego. Cracked the tranny a week later, been sitting for another year lolHopefully just found a new trans for $350 I’m gonna hop on tomorrow then another couple months...

Your a life saver, I’ve been bleeding by myself with a wood block.Had my gf step on the clutch and noticed a giant crack pushing the tranny away with each thrust of the slave cylinder.Cheese and rice

Ok so my slave cylinder piston is yellow not pink or green. I ordered OEm from extreme psi?WtfFrom using the extended slave rod, I caused my clutch to start slipping under heavy decel the other day.So I swapped the original back in, not I literally can’t get it into gear unless I fight...

Pretty deep and heavy scoring all up in my oil pump, I decided to change the front case gasket and check oil pump while down for HGI’d say the worst scoring is in the hole on picture 3 &4 I believe the drive gear.Ordered a new ACL pump and stubby shaft.Anyone running the acl...

Never mind here’s the shot with more vertical scoring.Again couldn’t feel it any difference with my fingernail:?:?:?

Also why’s it look like one of my pistons looks like it’s been beat with a tiny hammer?

I plan I gettin a 8mmx1.25 8inch long bolt and using two nuts to create a stop for the tensioner tool.Also read I can just put the tensioner in a Vice and crank it down very slowly then out a pin in. ( think that’s what I did a long time ago on this motor originally )And as for the other...

Also going for the gates timing kit and felpro headgasket kit.Do I need to worry about using the gates hydraulic tensioner?

So to remove the belt I just unbolted the tensioner, as my friends suggestion. After lining up all the timing marks and putting piston 1 at TDCI’ve torn off everything and the head is ready to lift.I think I’m gonna replace the water pump, and timing tensioner, the pulleys are covered...
