    I manually cleaned the IMRC's 9 mths ago... getting p1519 code now.

    Trying to get my mark viii in shape again I've been looking at getting some issues fixed. About 9 mths ago I took the intake off and cleaned out the IMRC's. Now I'm looking at a p1519 code. I reached behind the plenem and manually moved the IMRC's thinking that would free them up then...

    This is a very general question.... but....

    My car is down at the moment while I wait for the half-shafts to come in. Before I did the rear hubs I tested the fuel pump PSI and it shows 20 @ idle and 25 @ idle BUT it was a harbor freight pump so not too sure of those readings... still looking into that. But back to the point. The car's...

    Rear Knuckle Hub Problems v.stuck on there

    I got a problem guys. I need the best advice I can get so I thought I'd ask around. The right rear hub was making noises and the brake was squealing while driving without the brakes pressed. So, finally I decided to finally get to replacing the back hubs. Upon taking the back wheels off I...

    I have a small problem... hoping for some help

    Hey guys.. I used to have my car on lowered coils. Toward the end of that time I bottomed out once and instantly my car had 20more HP. I couldn't attribute it to anything except maybe the 3rd cat was clogged. I've been fighting mpg issues and so last week I decided to finally just take that...

    I havent had ac since buying the car.. nearly 3 yrs now...need some help.

    Right after I bought the car the air started blowing through the defrost. If I remember right it was intermittent at first and only did it when it rained but that's all in the past I guess. In the meantime, trying to troubleshoot the problem I have done the blend door ( and pulled the dash...

    I've crossposted this... need to find out what the deal is. I'm stumped.

    About 2 months ago I chased an overheating issue and replaced the radiator, thermostat, and water pump. The issue turned out to be a water pump. Now, two months later, I'm driving in 65 degree weather and the car overheats. I'm not loosing any fluid, radiator is at "cold fill level" when car is...

    Lowering coils? reviews? which to choose? Coil users please come in.

    I have a set of arnott 1.5 lowered coils (I think they are arnott) and they are simply too soft or shot. I'd like to go with another 1.5 lowered kit but I don't know which manufacturer to go with. People have suggested: Americanair (eddie) H&R Tokico (blue's I think but can't find them are...

    Leak In the coolant system: Hight pressure: can hear it in front left side in hood

    If you look back a couple months I made a thread about a coolant problem. Then my car went up on stands for the rest of the summer and now I'm having the same problem. :rofl: I hear a high pressure air release under the hood front left side when I stop the car. Then goes away after 10...

    Antifreeze coming form AC weephole. Blend door = bad (known). No air blowing.

    I've been reading up on past threads about this and while a lot of people are getting 'water' in their floorboards no one has mentioned this problem that I've read. There is a history here and I've known the blend-door is an issue. Recently I turned on the car and the air wouldn't stop blowing...
