DC pulse by
jdl
If you want to check for a dc pulse on a particular circuit, what do you
use. I'm talking low-end tester. I guess if you have a dmm with a
tach--dwell--duty cycle--frequency setting, I guess any of these will
react to a dc pulse. Also, I believe a digital logic probe has a pulse
setting that will...

92 Buick Regal GS 3.8L V6 stalls by
stymied
165,000 miles. My Buick stalls intermittently.
It bagan when I parked it at the store, came back out ten minutes later
and it would crank, but not fire. Ten minutes after that it started
and ran perfectly.
Took it into a mechanic, and naturally he couldn't duplicate the
problem or find a code. ...

mileage car, with less...

96 Taurus Steering Column Lock Lever Actuator by
[email protected]
This is the link between the lock cylinder and the ignition switch. It
seems - from responses received from other sources -that the easiest
way to replace it is to replace the steering column. Anyone here got
any thoughts?
Thanks in advance. BTW, I'm not doubting anyone elses valued...

Oil Pressure Sensor Connector by
[email protected]
I had to replace the oil pressure sensor on my 1994 Mazda MPV. Because
the protective boot for the connecting wire had hardened up over the
years I kind of mangled the connector when I removed it (it looks like
the connector was designed to be disconnected by pulling the boot off
of the sensor -...

'91 Mercury Sable Windshield Fluid Pump by
[email protected]
I recently bought a '91 Sable and found the windsheild fluid pump
doesn't appear to work. The wipers work (which I assume means the fuse
is good), there's a full tank of fluid, but I push the button in and I
hear/see nothing.
If I assume that the wiring is okay and that the pump is damaged,...

Noise Source? - High pitched vaccum/damper sound by
inetquestion
Specs: 1998 ford explorer, 4.0, SOHC
I notice this noise slightly all the time. There is a slight hiss, but
I'm unable to determine the source. It becomes much more noticable when
I change the position (accelerate or decelerate) of the gas pedal on a
smooth section of hi-way. It also does the same...

aerostar----ABS dash light on---skid other day..... by
[email protected]
It's a '94 aerostar, 95K miles. For about
a month, the ABS light comes on at random.
But braking was unaffected. Then yesterday
I was braking because a speed bump was coming
and the rear wheel skidded. I think it was
the left, but could have been both. Already
going too slow to affect anything. ...

speed - hard to get over 65-70mph) so I've removed the spark plugs and
checked compression. ALl cylinders are ok except one which has
compression 1-2 bar above the rest, on that cylinder there is a lot of
clean oil (oil...

THM400 2-3 shift hesitation; G-05 coolant and intake mfld gasket by
Henry
Two questions today:
1. Tranny problem -
My 3 speed THM 400 (1985 Chevy pickup) hesitates during the 2 - 3
shift. It seems like it stays in both gears until I lift my foot a
little to "baby" it thru the shift. I have a tranny temp gage and the
problem does not vary with tranny temp.
