Re: Car Won't Start!

ECU water emperature sensor hooked up ?

Unplug the cold start injector just in case it is running constantly.

Re: Mechanical fuel pumps failing

I've not looked inside a 4AC pump, but every mechanical pump I have played with worked the same. Two small spring-loaded disc valves and flexible rubberised fabric diaphragm. This diagram shows how a typical fuel pump works.... http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uq-nxENqERs/Ti--l9m1BFI/AAAAAAAAAHI/j_Ir3GbPWw...

So my LSD WORN out because both tires move in opposite directions. NO !! When the back of the car is off the ground and you turn the wheel, there is not enough load to clamp the plates.

Re: Car Won't Start!

Double check the plug wires for 1 > 3 > 4 > 2 firing order, put all the accessory
belts back on, and take the car for a run. You could have one or more cylinders
flooded, and you need to burn the excess gas out... driving on it will do that :)

Its the back bolt, and the brown wires pop out of the harness at the firewall end of the duct and...

I have discovered over the years that even experts make mistakes.

Re: bad gauge cluster possibly?

In that case, it looks as so you have power to the dash, so the
only possibility I can think of is that the multipin plugs that connect
the under dash harness to the cluster have fallen off.

Yes... the GAUGE fuse powers the function all the gauges, but the
illumination of the gauges is powered from a different fuse.

Re: AE82 4AGE Trouble.

If it gets hot enough that you don't want to rest your hand on it, then that's too hot. The EFI relay powers up the ECU, so if that one has an intermittent fault, it can switch the engine off. Try swapping in another relay and see if it makes a difference. The round one is most likely the ENG MAIN r...

OK... next most popular suggestion is swap out the COR (Circuit Opening Relay). And while we are talking relays, you could try checking the temperature of all the relays in the underhood fusebox after the car has been running for a while. Any relay that gets HOT is suspect. A little bit warm is not ...

Re: car won't start need help

Should be set up in the software. Cranking + WOT = no fuel.
Crank with foot flat for 10 or 15 seconds to clear the excess fuel, then
lift your foot and crank normally.

Based on nothing more than numerous similar "dies when hot" posts, I would suggest you borrow a spare coil and igniter to swap in. Maybe swap the igniter first (make sure it is well bolted down as it grounds thru the outer casing). If that has no effect, put your original igniter back on, ...

Re: car won't start need help

With all that cranking it is most likely flooded. Have you tried
cranking in "flood clear" mode ? Pretty sure that will just be cranking
while you hold the throttle wide open.
