I need to change my battery as well.... my car cranks and cranks and cranks (about 10-15 seconds before starting ) and someone said their car had the same symptom and it was the bat
Well we took the driver door panel off but not the passanger (is it a closed system?)
i didnt disconnect the ac controls, i just thought it was weird that both the windows and the ac lights didnt work....wasnt sure if they are on the same fuse? ( which fuse is that BTW? )
Friend with his 97 gts again....he removed the dash and the driver door panel....put everything together and now the windows wont roll down and his ac unit controls have not lighting to them
What did he forget to connect or what fuse/relay?
So we changed the sensors and went to change the spark plug wires....appears the person before really was a lazy ass.....number 1, they didnt bother to do the rear two.
On top of that 3 out of the ten wires were not "clicked" on. Did that and it seems to have fixed the miss....still a little...
Maybe i am just used to my 02? It sounds like its missing but seems to pull well. The thing that throws me off is the starting....when he first goes to start it you have to crank for about 7-10 seconds.
He dumped some sea foam in it is going to drive it around tommorow for a bid then do...
Hmm maybe ill tell him to just do the plugs and wires and take it out and drive it for a weekend to see how it does?
Im on my blackberry.... what size socked can i text him to use?
Usually the start up takes about 3 times as long....he did dump some seafoam into the gas tank and let it idle for 15 minutes or so. He also when and pushed down on all the spark plug wires on the distributer and to the plugs.
He said his socket for plugs didnt fit into the heat shields for them
all were taken after the intial start up (where it takes a really long time to fire )
Quick start up vid
Engine Bay
Back of the car moving camera around the pipes
Longer start up, tehn back of car and a few revs
He didnt let it sit he got it like that from someone who was just letting it sit. He is sending me a few videos of the car from the rear for you guys to listen to. When he picked it up the tank was on E so the first stop he made was to a gas station
Im just trying to decide which ones to attack first with him...... im changing the wires from my 02 so im going to give him mine to throw in there. But should i do the plugs/wires first or the fuel filter?
Where would tehre be bad connects?
Yeah its a damn shame this car has sat so long...
Friend has a 97 GTS thats been sitting for about a year and a half (outside under a tent). Long story short when its running it is missing.
When you go to start it up it will crank and crank and crank for about 10-15 seconds before it catches unless you turn the key to on and then off and...
So after taking the time to change the water pump and radiator i go to bleed the system so i can take it out for a spin.....and the damn thermostat is bad!!!!
Blah....hopefully this week ill get her up and running
96 GTS does not really blow heat when turned on.... someone said sometimes one of the hoses gets backed up.... dont really mess with heater and hvac systems and feel like a newb for asking....but which hose is it that i should check for back up?
Beyond that, what is the next step to...
The piece that runs up and down at the end of the window ( at the back of the window). Anyone have a part number or a place to pick one up for each side?
