The thermosensor isn't going to affect much, but the coolant temp sensor in a G54B is critical to determining open and closed loop and will affect the running of the engine - but not spark. I'd look into the coil or ignitor like BKB94 suggested. As far as the wiring goes without a pic it's tough to see what you going on, but you should have a wiring harness branch running along the intake manifold with 3 connectors on it for the CTS, sender, and the AC switch, all of them right at the water neck. Look for wires in that area that are yellow with either blue or green stripes on them - if I'm remembering right.

I just trimmed mine with a pair of scissors to clean it up a bit. It was torn and rough around the edges. There are aftermarket adhesive type under insulation you can buy from places like Summit or Jegs that many guys use. I've never personally purchased any of those products myself. However I have researched them and considered it. You definitely want something there. My first Quest ever was white and the hood paint had turned yellow-ish were the turbo was b/c the previous owner removed the insulation and all shielding.

Sounds good. I still have it.

Hi EvoAmy. First, awesome car! Second, I'm pretty sure per site rules you need to post an asking price and location. And ... IMO I'd suggest going through the process (about 4-6 weeks) of putting this car on BaT. I believe an all original low mile car like this would do very well there. Collectors would jump to own one like this. Just my thoughts, you can obviously sell it how you want.

It's getting close to the end of driving season here in PA for 2016. NikoFab is putting together an SQC calendar for 2017 and asked if I'd be apart of it. So, I spend some time online searching for a local photographer that shoots cars, not just a wedding photographer. I actually found someone and we met up and did a shot at a local state park. He took probably a 100 photos, but here's a few from that day. It was so much fun to have this done.

If you watched my Youtube test drive video from several posts back during the restoration you might have notice there's a piece that falls of the car when I'm driving. Luckily it didn't do any damage to my paint, but it was the top windshield trim. It got mangled in the fall. Appearantly the upper windshield clips are broken and not holding. So I had to track down a new one. pcristquester hoooked me up and did a great job shipping it safely cross country., I need to track down some windshield clips and get this installed.

I built a motor for a different car years ago with forged pistons and rods that constantly had oil pressure problems. B/c of that I'm a bit paranoid about oil pressures and I tend to watch them like a hawk. So far, everything seems to be good with this engine build. Idle at start up is about 60lbs. After driving a bit, completely warm, idle at a stop light is about 18-20lbs.

Hit up my 2nd ever car show for a local girl dealing with childhood cancer. Car is running good so far!

Because everything was coming down to the wire before the show, I didn't have time to finish putting the trunk area back together. I just put the cargo cover on for the car show and hid everything. B/c the car was white, and is now blue, I wanted to take a moment and repaint the trunk area in black. So I grabbed a can of paint and brushed the lower spare tire area in black. Took all the support pieces out and cleaned them up with the wire wheel. Then I hit them up with some fresh black spray paint. After letting it all dry, I simply started putting everything back together. First the metal support structures. Then the carpet pieces. Set the spare tire back in place. Trunk cover. And the final carpet piece. Not hard work, but I'm really happy with how it came out and how it looks.

Doesn't surprise me at that price. That was a good deal.

I've been around a while like many people here and I don't know of anyone making or adapting a different gas tank for the Starquest - short of having one custom made. Your best bet, easiest, and cheapest is by far to work with Steve ^^^^. He'll get you hooked up with what you need. I would not put a questionable tank back on your car and try to make it work - your asking for trouble.

Tell us about your 87. What color? What state of restoration. What are your most immediate questions? Welcome ... you're at the right place.

Sorry to see your selling it. Great car at a great price.

Nice very clean. It'll be hurt a little by being an Auto, but otherwise very nice car. Glad to see there's still nice examples of these cars out there in hiding.

The sad part is I wouldn't be surprised at all if that happened. Funny though - good work tux.
