Fixed. Oem reman put everthing back to spec. I know weve had the oem/aftermarket talks, some people never learn. Im a FIRM believer now. Thanks for the help gentleman.

We decided to go with oem reman. Did get new thru oreillys originally, what a mistake. I scoped the dist yesterday and the wave form was all over the place. Ill post the fix or not, later. thank you

Morning gentlemen. Have a 96 camaro Z28 5.7 ohv LT1 with 105157 on the clock here thats driving me crazy. Came in running hot due to coolant leak from the water pump. While water pump was off we replace the distributor ( was actually cheaper than getting cap and rotor) because was all original and w...

Wow, that was a real diagnostic cluster f###. Glad you figured it out.

I've had the same issue, only a few times though. Sounds like an awesome tip and ill have to try it next time it happens. What i really hate, is when lining up the belt, you find its inbetween teeth. Which way to go. I always seem to pick the wrong side and have to re-adjust. Have a good up coming d...

Got the new gear in and its missing 2 teeth. Guess they just decided to run away, tech has no idea how they broke off, maybe pryed on gear? Anyway, problem solved. Thanks for input steve

think im helping myself. In re-examining everything, i found what appears to be a missing tooth on crank reluctor wheel. Going to get a new crank gear and confirm missing tooth, (kind of hard to tell if missing or factory notched, cant find good pic) Gear be in thursday, keep ya posted. Thanks for t...

Good morning, have a 99 lexus es 300 dohc, came in for t belt and water pump. Has 180,000 on clock and was running fine when it came in. After belt replacement vehicle will start then die after a few seconds. When it runs for that 2-3 seconds its smooth, no skips or shakes. Even when holding/feateri...

The whole issue after ignition switch and bcm replacement was the "dealer" we used couldn't program bcm. We sent to a different dealer and they were able to re-program, car works fine now. Thanks for all your input.

well, after several days at dealer they supposedly have bcm programmed, after a couple replacements and changing the ignition switch again. Vehicle still doesn't crank. Dealer has no idea why it doesn't crank, so it's coming back here. I guess i have my hands full with this one. Once again, i'll kee...

On a whim I took jumper cables and went from the - post on the battery to block when I had an intermittent no crank. From then on I do it on all of these issues and have found bad grounds causing issues. Another issue i've found is a bad ignition switch or neutral safety will cause this. Will it cr...

no, its not inhibited by any theft deterent issues. PIDs all say that system is off and not active. I'm thinking the bcm has an issue. Keep 'em coming, and I'll keep yall posted

Had a 2004 Saturn Ion 3 (manual transmission) in here the other day to diagnose an intermittent no-crank and its driving me crazy. Starter would occasionally "click" rhythmically, but it never turned over when you held the key in "Start." The car also had the following codes: U1606, B2960, B3033, B3...

Well, just got a call from customer. He took it for a 100 mile ride over the weekend and a little while into the ride he heard the cooling fans come on high and stayed on the whole time. Temp guage in car stayed right in the middle, but fans never shut off. I guess I'll re-post a/the fix again later...

Thanks for the insight on this one. I vac bled it today and it was much better. Still not completely right so i adde coolant thru the bleed port on the heater hose and all set now, wshoooo. Thanks again

i do have a vac bleeder, so i will try that first thing in the am. Its actually my last resort. Ive checked ALL the coolant hoses and they are all routed correctly, no kinks, good thought though Steve.

I heard that Steve. I've thoughroly been thru the procedure 4 complet times and even lifted the fe so the car was at a 60 deg upward angle. The bleed procedure says when you stop having to add coolant it's done. So far it won't take any more. The fact of being able to shut it off for a few minutes, ...

we did a coolant flush for maintenance in mid march 2013. It returned 8 days later for no heat. Had heat when it left. we did t stat at that time for heat and heat came back and everything was hunky dory till the next day when cust said fans were loud (on high) and i've been bleeding system ever sin...

Good morning gentlemen, I've got a 2004 infinity g35 that we did a thermostat and coolant flush on. Since then, the cooling system works fine while idleing in the shop. Fans come on (low speed) at 203 deg and go off at 190 deg. It will do this all day long until it's driven. After 10 minutes of driv...

I'm going to lean towards a bad accel pedal. Watching pids will help if it acts up for you while your looking, and im a** u ming that its wireless.
