It's been a white :sad:

The fuse Fuse 9C - (Battery), Radio, Cluster keeps blowing. It just happened today.

I did replace the fuel pump (works great), but the fuse is now not working.

No radio, gauges, the electronic climate control, speedometer, tach, boost gauge are all not working.

Any ideas ...

I run a drilled, 160°F thermostat on my 97 Ei. I live in Texas and with the heat outside 100+, the engine only get's to 175°-180°F The only difference I notice is the pick-up-and-go seems a little better. I gave up on MPG's for the most part - I drive 55 tops whenever I can.

For having that kind of mileage, the drivers seat looked good.

Morning fellas! Sorry I have not seen this; I'm not on too ofter. I live in San Antonio and would have no problem driving a couple of hours for a meet. Let me know!

It could be; does it do this every time you start the car? Even when the engine is warm?

I jsut moved here (San Antonio) about 6 weeks ago.

If you guys plan on doing anything, let me know.

I nee to know the size of the pipe going into the muffler (97 Ei) and the size coming out. I will be doing a lot of work on it this weekend. And how much pipe of the two sizes should I buy?

And how long is the resonator? That is going bye-bye!

When it's going to get colder than crap up here in AK.

With that being said, I have heard the 3800 is more efficent at hotter temps than cooler. Since I can't do anything about the external temp, can I drop in a 205-215°F thermostat? I only get ~15mpg in winter and ~20-22 in the summer.

Also, is ...

7.4 liter = 7.81 fluid quarts. If this is for your 97 EI, you have the 4T65-E HD. It's not a deep pan, but dont worry about that. When the trans is at it's proper fluild level, it's way above the pan, lol. Thats why there are 20 bolts.

Grab 8 bottles of fluid to be on the safe side. If this is the ...

You have your hands full, but it soundls like fun!

tonight while drive home it has gotten worse now, with the ding ding ding all the light will flicker on and off like crazy and it does this randomly, and the battery gague will go all the down to the red.



Was it just the battery gage, or all the gages. Did any lights on the dash flash when ...

Check your trunk switch. Or see if it dings with the car running when you open and close the trunk.

Check every fuse in your fuse box.

You could try unplugging the photo sensor.

but I will say that the fluid that came out of the pan was a very dark red but what came out of the torque converter was black as tar.
I don't understand? When I change my transmission oil [drop pan method] and filter at around 25,000 miles or so, Shouldn't the xmission oil be the same color ...

The fluid and filter will cost you no more that $40. That does not include the beer, lol.

Do it yourself. It will be messy, but you will learn a lot. Your gas mileage and performance will go up.

A complete flush does not change the filter. Think of it like changing the oil, but leaving on the same ...

I'm going to look into the dinging - I want to run LED's

The way the electronics are ran in the car are crazy!

Pull fuse 1D - 15 Amp Chime fuse

Somehow it is connected to the TC system. It fully disables it. The TC light on the shifter will still be lit, but the button will not function.

ABS is still in full effect

Happy Roasting

Cool, thanks

If an engine over heats, will the excess heat ruin valve springs?

It will be good to see you again Travis
