I'm so old that i'm newb again.I couldn't find it in a search and VFAQ seems no longer active, but is there a procedure to change the oil pump in car?My car has BS elmination. However, the nut to the oil pump sprocket either backed off or was stripped by the person who put together my...

I am the 3rd owner of #490/1000. Originally Boston car. I purchased in 1999 from 2nd owner. Car has lived inside my garage entire ownership. Major engine overhaul and build in 2000, with very few miles (less than 500) since then.(I have a "feeler" add from 2010 on this board,

When I bought #490/1000, I was the 3rd owner. First, a lady in Boston, then a kid in Lowell, and then me. When I looked at the back seatbelts, I thought someone took out the seat and was too lazy to put the seatbelts through their holes. Of course, I was too lazy to put them in after I...

Anyone have a trick tool to access the lower TPS bolt/machine screw without removing the fuel rail?I'm pretty sure 12 years ago I rigged something up to loosen this one even though I obviously didn't adjust it properly since I'm seeing .60V at idle instead of .63VI was thinking of cutting...

When Checking Coolant Temp connections, the AC Temp Sensor wires broke off the back of the connector.Is this connector available anywhwere or is there a way to remove the pins and rewire the connector plug?I currently do not have the AC pulley or belt on, so not using AC. Does this circuit...

Getting to know my GVR4 by replacing bulbs, I realized the front corners have a blank light hole behind the amber section. Is there a write up for incorporating these into the blinker or one of the other lights? Anyone know what it is there for?-PJ

So, car now idles and drives low rpm pretty well.However, 02 sensor not cycling. I have a new one, but figured I would go do one log to see if it would start cycling?I logged a part throttle run through some gears. Can anyone take a look at the log if I email it to you and see what you...

Updating/replacing bulbs. For tail lights, anyone replace their 2057s with LEDs like Sylvania 2057 White SYL LED Mini Bulbs?I did a search but didn't come up with anything.-PJ

While I'm waiting for a USB to Serial connector that will hopefully be recognized by Tunerpro, I should get down to basics and make sure my throttle position is set up.I was searching VFAQ, and what I want to understand is:Position of throttle plate vs TPS vs IPS when no throttle engaged...

So, My 11 years or so of jackstand bawling are over, but I'm right at where I left off.I did a build of: refreshed head, JE 9:1s, T3/T04E, 272 cams, BS delete, FPR, FMIC.When braking in the engine, I used stock tune, 450 injectors, hacked 1G MAF that was like that before the mods.Engine...

With the weird fuel pump relay turning off and the possibility of capacitors leaking on my ECU causing this, I wanted to see what options I would have.I bought my current ECU from Jeff O. (Keydiver) in 2006 or 7 socketed with his chip. I wrote him a note on his site but not sure if he will...

I replaced rear calipers and added SS brake lines all around while car was down. I bled the entire system and brake pedal was very firm.Car was down for years, so could be corrosion on rings?I started up car today and brakes felt normal, but the ABS light is on along with the brake light...

I'm actually getting serious about #490/1000 back on the road.BACKGROUND: I burned a valve 19 years ago. A friend was going to just pull the head, valve job, and back together. Then I added HKS 272 cams, 3G lifters, JE 9:1s, BS elminated, FP T3/T04E 57 trim, SX FPR, keydiver chip, 660s, ACT...

On I 94 west around Gary at 10 ish PM and passed a very nice looking white GVR4. Had a red emblem on back and stainless fuel cell looking thing hanging down past the bumper cover? Anyone on here? Weird that I spot one in the wild when I just started a two week wrenching session to get mine going...

I hate asking these basic questions but I'm going to remove a seized 190 pump and replace with a 255 pump.I reviewed the VFAQ for 1G Walbro installation so that's good. Any additional GVR4 hints at what I will need?I have not opened up the tank yet, though all nuts are loosened...

Well, my GVR 4 is nearly ready to fire. Oil primed, etc. Drained tank, filled with 5 gal premium.Figured I would try firing on old gas in line: nope.I disconnected the AN fitting at fuel rail and it is dry. I cranked a few times and nothing. I will swap the fuel filter but wanted to make...

So I'm getting #490/1000 back on the road. Its been on jackstands for 8 years or so in my garage. Just finished going through oil, coolant, all plumbing, IC piping, put on the front bumper and closed the hood for the first time in that long. Brakes are bled, new rotors/pads, and front wheels...

Posting in newb forum since I haven't really messed with the GVR4 in 10 years.Had rear brakes off to do a remanufactured caliper swap. Well, that was a long time ago and I'm pretty sure I got everything right except I can't figure out where to put 1 clip on each side. I'm guessing that it...

EDIT: SOLD.Time to sell my 2 owner CTS-V. It was a California car new until 2009, owned and driven by me in Michigan since. Thought I would put it up here in case anyone was interested. I recently took a sales job and had 3rd child, so got new 3rd row Explorer to drive all the kidz in...

This is a "feeler" thread for my GVR4. I bought this car in about 1999 from a kid in Boston. I am the 3rd owner. I drove it about a year and a half, then it burned a valve. What started as a head job turned into a full rebuild at about 131,500 miles on the ODO. Got engaged during build, guy...

May be driving the galant this winter. Will need snow tires. Current H&R springs with KYBs is a very low stance. I don't care about the speedo, I'd like to know the tallest practical tire I can run to maximize ground clearance.I will be just commuting, not too much messing around, but...

Finally getting my '90 oil adapter setup on the galant. The "short" bolt I received from JNZ with the '90 housing last year is the same length as the one I took out of the same hole with the stock adapter. I haven't dry fit it yet and just screwed the bolt in b/c I didn't know what it bottoms...

Ok, A while ago I bought a '90 filter housing and posted a pic identifying all the ports, thread sizes, etc.I'm going to install this thing, but need to know what needs to be removed. I'm guessing alt/a-c belts and pulleys, then either remove or cut hole in the lower timing cover?Can...

Well, I searched VFAQ, here, net, free DSM manual, and didn't find what I was looking for. But, after some questions on this and other posts, the following was put together and edited on this thread:I have a new 1990 oil filter housing and need to know what most of the holes are for to...

This is definitely a newb question so here goes:Installing a Raxle passenger front shaft today. New axle seal in, attempt to insert axle, no go. I sent back my core last year but I know I compared the two and they looked fine. The C clip does appear pretty stout on this and the ends are out...

I searched, and here is the most recent broad info post for snow tires:snow tire thread w/ decent infoI have just acquired an extra set of straight '92 rims from KT (thanks KT) and am trying to pick a snow tire to go on them. I wanted to see if there were any new tires out this year that I...

edit: please use this GG threadI bought an A/C control unit from 14u2nV. I received it quickly with excellent communication. Reasonable person to deal with. Even gave him some stars for the new board.-PJ
