tux, that switch is not on. Kev, thats the passing control relay, its plugged in, and I also checked it with another relay from my other car.

All the sudden the pop up light housings on my 87 wont go down. Light themselves working. Did some digging and found this thread.. heres caliber 308's check list 1. Sub fusible link 1. good 2. Fuse no.4. good 3. Lighting switch. switched for another off my other car that works, no change 4. Pop up Motor Relay. swap both relays from other car, no change 5. Passing Control Relay. swapped from other car, no change. You can hear the original working as it should as well 6. Pop up Motor. Highly unlikey both crapped out at the same time, rotated both headlights by hand and both move freely 7.Wiring harness and connector connection. checked just about everything, nothing visually wrong, jiggled the wires by hand, nothing 8. Ground. checked all grounds Thoughts?

Bought a car that had sat in someones backyard for 20 years. Blown engine. towed it to my house. Got it running and steering box was leaking bad. Swapped it with a good box from a parts car I had. Got the car running, and steering wheel is way off, like maybe between the 1- 2 o clock position. I have no idea if it was like that when i bought it, or it was from the box swap. I was sure i had everything linesd up properly, aligment marks correct on the pitman arm, wheel centered etc. Should i remove the steering wheel and center it before I get an aligment done? Or let the alignment shop center it?

clicking the topics just brings it back to the homepage?

figured out the issue, but now i have another issue thats related

Really starquestclub needs to be updated and improved to compete with facebook and social media sites, to bring people back. I'd be willing to donate for that. Jimmy, can you ask ryddler how much he would need to do that? Would be good to know a dollar amount.

Facebook is responsible for this, and I'ts a horrible platform. all the knowledgeable old timers aren't on social media, so all the younger guys asking questions ask on facebook don't get quality answers. Theres no more group buys anymore...i really miss the old days on SQC.

When running the A/C, The highest fan setting seems a little weak. When i put the fan on the feet setting, it blows much harder, when I put it back to face/body setting it blows hard for a few seconds, then goes back down to half speed again. It does this consistently when switching back and forth from face to feet. What is causing this?

Looking for the large heavy bracket that holds the AC compressor and the alternator to the engine. Also need the AC tensioner pulley that bolts to the left side of the head.

Looking for 87 front Seats black in good condition. I am in Sacramento California. Willing to travel up 3 hours in any direction.

what about the tubing diameter?

at 8:28 I talk about the washers...

Boought KYB 365060 front cartidges. When i tighten the nut that comes with the shock, the shock still has about a half of play in it. Why? I see nothing from the old shock that I could use, unless something was missing from the kyb box? This is an SHP strut, and I cut off the adjuster so the shock could go in . Is the strut body itself a little taller on SHP?

Just out of curiosity i sent an email to them a week ago asking how long the wait times were for the subframes, havent received a response yet.

The extension shaft cup splines, and the pinion coupler spline mesh together very precisly when they don't have wear. I pulled them out of my 88 140k miles on it, that was never beat on, and there is zero play.

Is the torque assembly the same for all widebodies 86-89? for example can i take the torque tube from an 86 and pop it into an 89 and vice versa? and all are the components the same/ interchangable? extension shaft, companion flange, bearing, etc Also, what grease are people using to grease the toque tube and the extension shaft to spline coupler/pinion coupler?

Tux, what diameter tubing is used for the subframe? And do you know the tubing thickness?

ive been looking at these, from researching, nitrile rubber is best for AC o rings... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07W72GPCF/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A1THAZDOWP300U&psc=1

Does anyone know where to get AC compressor O rings? I will be converting my system to R134a. I bought the kit as listed by rock auto "four seasons 26764", but it did not have the correct size for the compressor. I referenced the four seasons part numbers from rock auto for the compressor on four seasons website, and it says it does not fit starion or conquest (except for 26764), and it also lists the incorrect O ring dimensions. i think the size I need is 24mm x 2.5 ( 19mm I.D 24mm O.D). I bought a kit from amazon, and it had a 20mm x 2, but the 2mm cross section is not "fat" enough , but a 4mm cross section is too fat, so it must be 3 or 2.5mm. Actually the stock black O ring is 2.5mm, and thats why there is a small gap on the machined O ring groove . So maybe 3mm will be too fat? I did find 3mm (18mm I.D) and 2.5mm (19 I.D) O rings on amazon, but they are not green in color, at least thats what shows in the pic, and they don't list anything about A/C.

where can I get front bump stops/dampers? part no. mb430570 (called "rubber helper" in the FSM ) Mine are not there, probably disintegrated a long time ago. everywhere that has them also includes the bellow/boot. I dont want to buy the boot, and the pics shown of the boots look nothing like the OEM boots. also the pics of the bump stop/dampers look nothing like the originals either.

Does anyone know if you have to cut the transmission tunnel to get a manaul R154 and 1uzfe to fit?

done that a few times 😪

it didnt meet the reserve, what did you end up buying it for if you dont mind me asking?

When boosting getting a really bad smell. i think the car is running too rich? Also sometimes tries to cut out hard around 4k rpms. 88 with 260k miles. All stock. Has new plugs, and injectors.
