Hello, Junior Member User1 -

While you may have said that to others today and feel like a broken record, I heard it for the first time just now. Thanks for the input, though.

In a way that makes total sense. I mean, there was no sound when it died (like I would think would happen if the timing chain jumped), it just quietly died when I shifted into neutral. After that,...

Thanks! I can't really take the credit, though - this has been the best car I've ever owned. I didn't even have to replace the clutch until 180,000 or so. No, that's not a typo, and not a lie. I...

MAF sensor? I'm not doubting you, but I'm unsure how the MAF sensor would cause extremely hard starts, then a rough knocking sound and lack of top end power. Granted, I have a limited understanding...

So I've heard! I checked with one place for the timing chain - $2500. She quoted me a "new-used" engine at $2400-3200 depending on their source cost. No brainer, if I had the cash.

Thanks. My problem is that, even if I can pull the cover successfully, I'm not sure what I'd even look for. Or worse, I could replace the whole timing chain setup, bolt it back up, and after...

Timing Chain? Oil pump?

Hi guys,

My max has 299, 617 miles on it, all one owner. The car was running pretty well until last week going down the road, I shifted into neutral (6 speed) and it died. Popped the clutch,...

Timing Chain Kit question(s)

Hi all!

Well, with 299,617 on the odometer, looks like my timing chain needs to be replaced. Any recommendations on good kits? I figure the old girl doesn't have another 300,000 in her, so high...

Squeaky Clutch Pedal - 6 Speed

Torque

Thanks. I checked the clutch pedal and the FSM's adjustment procedure. I do seem to have more play at the top of the pedal travel.

The FSM doesn't seem to cover anything other...

Issue after clutch replacement

I had my clutch replaced at a shop maybe a year ago. The OEM lasted from '03 till 15, around 160k on the odometer. That's just for background. After getting it replaced, it was a lot...

WHERE is the check valve?

Two folks were good enough to help me figure out I probably have a bad vacuum check valve, however, I can NOT find the thing.
