The car ran perfectly last nite, but won't start this morning. The engine cranks and doesn't catch. The fuel pump turns on, and there's pressure on the gauge, so I know I'm getting fuel to the rail. All fuses look fine. What test should I run next?

We suspect a problem with our oil pump and are about to remove the pump and replace it. Does anyone have any advice or suggestions? How much disassembly is involved?

In an effort to pinpoint an engine noise, can we use the old hot rodder's trick of removing the spark plug wires (one at a time) until the affected cylinder is found? Will this test damage the distributorless ignition system in our cars?

I'm interested in locating one of the factory aluminum raddiator supports for our cars. On what vehicles were they original equipment? Are these things a direct bolt-in?

I need to have an ECM modded to run 55 lb injectors. Does anyone have a recommendation for a source to do this (other than Quad Air)? Thanks very much.

Please check this VIN: 1G4GJ1170HP408459 We bought the car last nite, so we sure hope everything checks out! Thanks so much for doing this! Rick & Kristi Bejarano Rick.Bejarano@Prudential.com

What exactly is a Vehicle Speed Sensor? Where is it located and how difficult is it to replace? Who can supply one of these and about how much should it cost? Thanks in advance!

Who's got the scoop on the BOP Event in Reynolds, GA? I think the event is scheduled for November 9 & 10.

The converter in our '87 T (see sig) has begun to lock and unlock erratically at around 45 mph. As road speed increases, the converter locks and remains locked as it should. I believe a similar problem occured before we purchased the car and the previous owner replaced the torque converter...

The past few times we've taken our 87 T (see sig) to the track we've been unable to build any boost at the launch. The car pulls well from about the middle of first gear, but leaves the line very lazily. On Saturday at Bristol, the car ran a 13.20 @ 109 with a 2.2 60'. At the GS Nats earlier...

I need to confirm that our 8.5" rear ends use 28 spline axles. Can anyone help me?

Is there a way to visually confirm that an ECM has been modified for low impedance injectors? Can the case be opened and inspected for these changes? What are the changes - are additional heat sinks added?

Setting Throttle Position Sensor? What's the best method to dial in the TPS? When I set it for .42 at idle, the WOT numbers are lower than desired - 4.2 or 4.3. What's the trick? If the sensor is adjusted with the engine off, will the numbers remain unchanged once the engine is started...

Does anyone have any experience using Hotchkis (or Edelbrock) lowering springs on their TR? The springs in our car are tired and we're looking for replacements, and the idea of the lowered stance seems very cool. The Hotchkis springs advertise a 1" drop, are powdercoated, and sell for $268/4...

Last nite I swapped the faded glove box door on Old Gray for a mint replacement. In order to maintain the locking feature, I removed the knob & latch assembly from the original glove box door and installed it in the new door. I separated the chrome outer knob from the inner latch with a gentle...

At the Gnats last week our car developed a nasty habit of not upshifting under full throttle. The car runs and drives fine under all other conditions, however. The diagnosis we received was that our governor tossed the spring, so we procured a replacement (with a pinned spring) from SE Turbo...

The turbo oil return line has developed a leak on my car and needs to be replaced. Has anyone used the braided steel replacement made by Eastern Performance? I've had good success with their braided oil cooler lines and am considering using their return line as well. I thought I remember...

Sometimes I notice the BAT display on the Scanmaster drops to volt values in the very low 11's and sometimes even the high 10's. This does not seem to correspond with any specific driving conditions or accessory use, and the voltage output does not seem to change with engine speed. I've...

We are doing some minor paint work on Old Gray and are having difficulty identifying the correct paint code because the trunk label is missing. Based on what was available on the '87 T, the car must be either Gun Metal Metallic or the slightly darker Medium Gray Metallic. Has anyone seen these...

The generic turbo mufflers currently on Old Gray are due for replacement. We use the ATR mufflers on our T-Type and are very pleased with them, but are considering other options for this car. The exhaust system appears to be the 2.5" Kenne-Bell system using dual mufflers with offset inlets and...
