My vacuume thermostatic control unit is leaking antifreeze. I did take it out & replaced the o-ring gasket that seals the flared pipe coming from the firewall. Tried an o-ring from Osh hardware store the same size but it was not like the flat stock one. Put it back in & it still has a slight leak. Does anyone have any experience in repairing one of these units with a gasket or sealants? A new one is still available if it can't be repaired for around $80 but I want to know if this can be fixed first? Thanks for all replies in advance.

I noticed the last few times I drove my car, when I pull into the garage and turn it off I hear a loud ping. Almost like something metal is hitting my metal fan blade. I just replaced both calipers on the front, new pads, new rotors new bearings, everything. Bleed the brakes all the way around and didn't make three houses down the road before the car started sputtering and shuts off. I got it to start back and made it to my neighbors house and again sputter then shut off. Oh this time the car back-fires. I think through the carbs. Since I just had my tank blasted and I have already gone through 1 tank of gas and 1 fuel filter, I thought now is a great time to replace t…

I just picked up a 73 240z w/ flattop carbs and it is running rich. Don't know much about carbs, but I pulled off the air cleaner and the front carb appears to have an excessive amount of gas being pumped into it. Gas is being pumped in regularly at what seems to be a pretty high ammount. The rear carb does not do this. Is this a stuck float or something like that?

Q:The Girlfriend says/susp[ects that since the new battery has been used for the past week or so to try and start teh car repeadely, sometimes with the help of a booster pack, perhaps the batt needs to be rechar…

Hey, I got a 1980 280ZX about 5 years ago, and when I first got it, the transmission broke, so i took it to Aamco(mistake number 1) and they fixed it, and about 4 years later it broke again... Whats happening is that when I drive it a little bit hard or if I drive it normal for about 3 weeks, I will turn the car off, leaving it in first gear. Then when I start the car, I put it in Reverse, but the transmission gets stuck on the first gear rail. So Reverse locks up the tranny, won't let me go anywhere, and stalls the car. From there on out, neutral is first gear. The only way to fix the problem it seems is to pull out the transmission, and as soon as the mechanics get it …

Does anyone know how to test the auxillary air valve for operation. I am having problems with the idle at warm up, and I think that might be my cause. My symtems are when I start it it will idle but when I step on the gas it goes up and when I let go it will act like it is going to die. This is only during warm up.

I have a 71' 240z and I replaced my front rotors & bearings. After done, the dust cap on the passenger wheel went on fine. The dust cap for the driver wheel does not. When I try to push the cap on, it feels like there is a pocket of air traped in the hub assy. that is creating resistance. I can use a hammer and tap it on, but after driving around the block, it pops back off. Anyone have this happen?
