Looks like the distributor we got from pull a part was bad. Went back and got another one to try, and it’s running again.
Wouldn’t have a way to get it to Honda, but will check with them to see if it’s been done before or if it’s part of the recall.
My brother got a whole distributor from Pull-A-Part and it’s still doing the same thing.
He also tried changing the main relay.Replaced the ignition coil with a used but working one, and it had spark on the spring, although a weak spark. There is no spark at the plugs.
As a computer builder I experience the same thing. I can throw one together in 3-5 minutes if I wanted to. However I usually spend at least a couple hours doing it, making sure every wire is ran perfectly and out of site, any lights and fans are in optimal positions, every screw is put in perfectly, and any little details are taken care of in the best way possible.
Sunshade was open in test with old tires, closed with new. That’s likely to have made up the majority of the difference. Good tires vs bad tires or old vs new will certainly make less noise, but those envigors are a pretty decent tire and didn’t seem in that bad of shape. They are probably a little more grip oriented then the Michelin you swapped for though so I can see a few db drop because of that.
Is be curious what the result would be if you could use the meter again with shade open and new tires to see the difference. In my car the shade open makes a substantial difference.
A tip you can use to lower possibility of any issues is to cover electrical and sensitive areas with plastic bags, and just a normal pressure garden hose.
Larry Kosilla is a fellow youtuber and well known as one of the best detailers around, and responds to emails and answers calls, if you ever wanted any tips in detail related areas. Great resource to have who really likes to help people out, and he makes his own products as well.
I had a 97 Sonoma 4.3, and at 120k it spun a bearing. Looked it up afterwards and seems very common for anything with the 4.3.
This isn’t about the title of the vid, but rather a comment you made about taking the channel in the direction of tuning/building. I also know you like different oddball type stuff, so it got me curious if you ever thought about doing anything to the element? It would be something cool and different, and with your honda experience shouldnt be too complicated for you. I’ve read you can swap in the k24 and 6 speed from a tsx, then have lots of aftermarket options, including a supercharger to make over 300hp.
Not practical really, but would be awesome to see.
I was going to install steel lines on my car yesterday, but decided to wait and get a flared line wrench first. However I talked to a friend that is a mechanic today and he said steel lines are supposed to be replaced every 3 years. Have you heard of that, cause I thought they would last a longer period then that.
Also my kit did not come with new spring clips. My car is 5 years old with 23k miles, do I need new clips or can I reuse them?
A friend brought over a metal spike to hammer through and got it on. Not sure the official name of the tool.
I haven’t used this site on mobile, but at least one poster had the “tapatalk” thing under his post. I would guess the confusion is the mobile version probably isn’t showing post quotes.
[quote=”EricTheCarGuy” post=160545]Interesting. I’ll have to see if I can partner up with a company that sells those products. Seems like it would be a fun experiment.
Thanks for the suggestion.[/quote]
Try contacting KnuKonceptz. They are in Cleveland, and have great stuff for great prices. I live close enough to pick up from them, and seen a lot of their stuff. All hjgh quality.
http://www.knukonceptz.com/Also I found a forum post after doing the above car (I did it 4-5 years ago), and results were 13.7x volts idle, 13.2x under load stock, 13.9x volts after Big 3 at idle, and 13.7x under load.
As for belt vs chain, I would always prefer a chain. I personally don’t keep vehicles very long, so not having to worry about a failure in the amount of time that I own it would be better, then a part that needs replaced but is easier to do.
So if you are someone willing to keep a car 300k+ miles a belt would probably be better for you, but if you will replace the car before 250-300k, then a chain would be.In the US we don’t have the “Almera”, but its related to the Sentra and/or Versa not Altima. The Altima catalytic converter issue was on the 2.5 liter and not related.
When trying to search for Sentra burning oil, even adding 1.8l to the search just brings up all of the QR25 issues. The 1.8l Sentras generally don’t have many common issues around here other then headgasket.
