  1. First question I have is do you have a picture? Are you selling this on ebay? If so I believe I made you an offer and you made a counteroffer. If it is, then my Father who lives in Carlisle, PA could just come pick it up instead of shipping it. That is if it is what I am looking for. Thanks, Chris
  2. Is the relay cluster still available? I will purchase if it is, let me know. Thanks
  3. I am pushing the correct button, it worked since I have had the car (8+ years now) but stopped working within the last 6 months. I believe all the fuses looked fine when I check them, but I will double check them. My thought was the relay, know anyone that has one for sale?
  4. is attempting to get his 88 Starion back on the road.
  5. I am currently experiencing a headlight issue with my 88 Starion. I push the button on the dash cluster to put the headlights on and they pop up but without any light. I am wondering if it is a relay under the hood or could it be the switch that is not functioning correctly. Any input would help, I need to get it inspected before I can get it back on the road. As a side note, is there a safe inexpensive way to unstick the rear brake, due to it sitting for a year or more the rear brake seems to have frozen up. To add the parking brake is off. Thanks for the help!
  6. I would like the switches that are on the sides of the dash (control the lights). Let me know how to arrange payment (paypal is fine with me) and I will be happy to take those off your hands. E-mail (cforbzy13@yahoo.com) me and I'll give you my address and contact info. Thanks, Chris
  7. I have a 88 Starion with an AUTO trans that will not engage any of the gears, when you push the shifter button in you can move the shifter forward and backward throughout all the gears (park through 1st) and it will not grab in any of the gears. I was thinking it was the torque converter that went bad. Does anyone have any ideas? thanks Chris
  8. Thanks for all your imput. I have checked all the grounds for the headlight problem, but not the switch. All fuses look good but I will check the fuse link by the battery. What are the signs that the switch is bad? As far as the idle problem, the park idle is about 850 -900 and the drive idle is at 750 but drops to 600-650 when there is a draw on the amps. The alternator is new and has been tested and seems to work fine (output under load) Someone mentioned that the ICS may be bad but the choke works fine at cold start and works down as it heats up. Is there a special way to adjust it with the pedal cable? MPS may be the problem but how do I check it out? I have never check the Temp sensor. Is there a good way to check it? I assume it's just a toggle switch but not sure. Boy these cars are fun to try to figure out. Thanks for all your help
  9. I have run into a few problems with my 88 Starion. First one is when I go to turn the headlights on, they flip up but the lights do not come on. The fog lights also don't come on, however that is linked to the headlights, so I am thinking that maybe the switch has went bad which doesn't allow either to have power when I push the button. Does the switch have independent wires for the headlights to pop up and then come on? Second issue is that, the car idles great in park and neutral but when i put it in gear to drive (automatic) it drops about 200 rpms and shakes the steering wheel some. When I take it out on the road everything runs and feels fine until I pull up to a red light were the power drains and begins to make the car shake like it does when you put it in gear. I have noticed that when I brake the amps drop down making the car do this. I am wondering is there a ground issue somewhere on the car that I am missing or something that I am unaware of. Does anyone have any thoughts on these issues?........need some help, been trying to figure it out for quite awhile Thanks

  11. I would like to see a black rim with chrome lip and chrome center cap. Also to add, that is a pretty reasonable cost, seeing as anywhere else you go for a quality rims you'll easily pay that per rim. That first rim is the best. The others, not so much. I think there was someone else who posted about our stock type rim except he made them 18 and 19s. Looked exactly the same. My ideal set would be 18x9 front and 18x10 rear with correct offsets, don't want to bother with those damn spacers. Keep us posted, I'm definitely down if they look sweet.
  12. I have a 1987 Conquest TSI, with 120,000 on it. Parts: New head Brand New 5 speed Transmission w/less than 5k on it (75k warranty) spent $1300 Aftermarket intake from *DM Exhaust muffler from Mookeeh Rebuilt Turbo New front spoiler What it needs: Paint, clean up a little wheelwell surface rust Maybe new seats, your call Little blow by, from wore out rings Besides that, it is a solid car and love driving it, but I also own a 1988 Starion auto which I put my money into Anyone interested $3000 neg.
