Just another BIG THANK YOU to Russ Merritt for rebuilding my transmission, replacing plug wires, and fixing a major oil leak, sealing a turbo leak, fixing motor mount, and all sorts of unmentioned minor problems. Plus he even arranged to personally trailer transport my car. For anyone...

Seen your GN in the parking lot a couple times.....PM me if you see this.

was told it could be the engine grounding out the positive cable between the motor and frame. What are some other causes of this ?? Bad coil-pak maybe ?, low fuel pressure ? Need some advice from you guys and what to do to fix this problem. Car runs perfectly otherwise. SM #'s are all...

That you have had ??? What were you doing at the time, and the situation that led up to the comment. Mine was at a cruise night and a little boy of 10 or 12 walked up and said I had the coolest car there. There were about 40 to 60 cars there and some really nice custom rods showing. I was...

Just wondering the cost of having mine rebuilt vs buying a new one. I'm quite satisfied with the one I have now, but it's starting to blow smoke every once in awhile. So......what's the usual cost to have one rebuilt ? Can anyone recommend someone in the New England area, or a good buisness...

This gage has never worked since i've owned the car ( Last Aug. ) I believe it's hooked up because I can barely see the gage lights, and only when it's dark outside. Was just wondering if it might be a bad ground or improper wiring. Sure would like some advise from you guys so I could get it...

It really sucks !!! This is the first winter I've had my 86 T Type. We have 15 inches of snow here in MA. , and all I can do is look at my covered TR and dream of the warmer months to come. I really envy you guys in the warmer climates now !! This , REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, SUCKS !!!!!!

I have new heater hoses, heater valve, and heater core almost ready to go in. I do not see any vacum lines in the engine bay area, that could hook to the heater valve. Where does this vacum line enter the engine bay area ?? I see two black, hard plastic lines that come up through the...

The hoses are not hooked up to the heater core at the fire wall. Was like this when I bought it. It's getting colder now and I would like to hook up everything to have heat. Which hoses go to where from the firewall ? Which one does the heater valve go to ? Do you need the heater valve ...

I have oil pressure and water temp gauges located in the usual pod under the radio, on console. I had purchased the car last Aug. and finally got it on the road today. Since the gauges weren't working I noticed that there was no wiring attached and non tucked up underneath the dash. These are...

A few questions about throttle bodies. When would you consider upgrading to a larger throttle body ? What other modifications should also be done if performing this upgrade ?? What are some of the aftermarket throttle bodies and how well do they perform ? Should aftermarket intakes be...

Didn't know where to put this but i'm looking for Manny Moniz of Freetown Massachusetts, now in Florida. I have a missing title problem with his prior 86 T-Type. If anyone knows this guy, can you have him respond so I can get into contact with him. You can e-mail me at DWStroh@comcast.net...

Just wondering if any of you guys have fabricated your own turbo shields. How you did it and materials used. Or other methods to cover the turbo. The Shields I have priced are too much money for my budget at this time. Thanks! Darrell

Only asking because if I let my car set without starting it for about a week the battery is dead. Even though I recharge and start the car to let it run for awhile, the same happens. I know I need a new battery but my question is; will a weak battery effect how the car runs ?? I know that...

One has the newer style fuse and one the older type. What is the quickest way to tell which is to the ECM ?? The car wouldn't start if the ECM wire on the pos side was unplugged, correct ??

Since the bad weather is clearing out of here in New England, I'm planning on adjusting the IAC. According to my scanmaster 2.1, my IAC is at 120 with the key on, engine off. I think I've done my homework enough to start making adjustments as from what i've read, those numbers are very...

My 86 T Type Idles about 1200 rpm in park and netural. Is the idle rpm programed into the chip and can I reduce the idle. I'm still a rookie and understand that there are parameters that I have to be within according to the scanmaster that I have. Is there anything I can do to lower this...

My engine seems to be running kind of rough at idle and I was looking for a vac leak since some of the hoses look old and need replaced......anyway, I unplugged the vac line to the EGR and there was vacume in the line but the EGR valve appears to be stuck. Could this cause a rough idle ...
