ok, problem solved. faulty sparkplug. replaced all plugs. runs like a swiss watch. someone suggested this fix. kodos on him.

in ec 1 list check valve, control valve and servo diaphragm. is one of these the throttle opener. does not show solenoid

will check my fsm. will solenoid make a sound when it engages?

how can u test? and where is it located

not 100% sure but i believe i still have the solenoid. all the anti pollution still on this 72. can't recall how old exhaust is but i remember replacing muffler 10 years ago.

might have to go to my mechanic

my diagnosis is the muffler is back fireing when i'm stopped or slowing down. don't hear it when up to speed. some one said was the carbs . i don't want to go down that road.

recently when i'm at a stop i hear low sounding backfire. does that mean i need a new valve? i looked them up on ebay. used $45 and new old stock $396 us.

did anyone notice the stars and strips on this flag?

happy 4th of july to my fellow americans. drive safe.

My neighbor just put his truck up for sale yesterday. To bad I already bought one. ? out of my price range anyways. $17000 Canadian. 1961 fordf100 short box 302 dual exhaust. 3speed manual with over drive. Anyone notice something different about this truck?

Got a vinage 1989 Ford F-150 last week. Beautiful condition. No rust,158000 kmiles, in line 4.9 litre 6. When I called the guy he said he just put the ad up 2 minutes ago. I was first in line, he got 70 more call and they were still callin after he took ad down. Lesson ......don’t hesitate call immediately if interested. When I saw it in the parking lot I thought it must be a misprint, listed for $2500 Canadian. ( that’s $1800 us ) 5 speed overdrive. Interior clean. Qualifies for vintage insurance. I love it. Would never have happened if I waited 5 minutes more.

thanx steve. works perfect. I don't post as often as I use to. I find it's difficult to navigate. when I first joined it was much simpler. i'll try harder to use it more often. got a new old truck. i'll post pics soon. thankyou very much.

I don't know how to change my signature on my post. the signature and list of vehicle I own below when I post or reply to a post.

while watching the nbc nightly news tonite, I noticed there was a red 280z under a pile of ruble. I hope iveryone is safe that's the main concern. first thing I thought was it a member's and is he ok.

what's the difference between an irish wedding and an irish funeral? one less drunk...... drive safe.

1000 posts doesn't make one a mechanic. I can change tires, oil and fillet a fish.

I don't know much about struts but don't u need a compressor tool to compress the springs?

the reason I ask about the quick struts is my mechanic said he needed special tools and it wasn't an easy job. with quick struts I figure I could save on hourly rate.

i'm going to need new struts soon. I've heard about Monroe quick struts. any feedback and do they make them for a 240. my machanic says the back ones need replacement, should I do all four while i'm at it. thankyou very much.

got a new used Honda civic coupe Thursday. it's a 2011 with 74 thousand kilometers. cost out of pocket was $ 1400 and he thru in a set of snows and rims ( three seasons on them) and a full tank of gas. basicly same car but without the leather seats. I think I got a good deal, move up 2 years and gain 80 thousand kilometers ps got $ 8150 from the insurance company

ominous weather coming to florida. according to the news it's a big one. hope all our fellow zed members stay safe. I know life is most important but take precaution for your zeds.

was rear ended last month. after fighting with insurance company finally got settlement. 2009 Honda written off. I can move up 6 years to another Honda but it's a salvage. this is all they do is go to auctions and fix them up. the ownership has rebuilt on it but same designation as salvage to me. damage was front end, basicly front clip, one fender, hood, rad and rad support. has lazer spect to within 3 mills. i'm apprehensive about a rebuilt. would like to get oppinions on weather to buy or stay away. right now i'm on the fence. it's a great lookin car. ( civic ex coupe) tia

replaced head lamp driver side. it was shattered. don't know how it happened. ok when I washed and waxed car last month, then a few days ago while taken bug sponge to the frontend noticed sealbeam out. last year before I went to zcon 2916 I replaced same headlamp that was burnt out. I did that job with the wheel on, made the job difficult. this time I took wheel off, ten times easier.

Can someone post pic how to hang shoulder belt. this is how i do it but it doesn't seem right.
