Craigslist the good, bad and the ugly!
2conquest replied to 2conquest's topic in Just plain ol' B.S.
Haha I just seen the other craigslist topic *face palm* quotehttp://cdncache-a.akamaihd.net/items/it/img/arrow-10x10.png name='Amonje123' timestamp='1446744386' post='1503415'] Body is like 95% straight. Interior is flawless and yes those cosmo seats are cool but don't like the head rest lol. [ quotehttp://cdncache-a.akamaihd.net/items/it/img/arrow-10x10.pnghttp://cdncache-a.akamaihd.net/items/it/img/arrow-10x10.png] Dude if you want to part with those seats let me know! -

I never seen interior like this on any starion I have came across http://losangeles.cr...5278790950.html -
I haven't seen a thread for finds on craigslist so I thought I would start one. This is for anything from great finds to the crazy stuff people come up with and try to pass down the line.

Oh okay, sorryhttp://cdncache-a.akamaihd.net/items/it/img/arrow-10x10.png about that. I wasnt aware after 10 you graduate from newbie. If you would like can you move it to the appropriate location. My 1988 conquest has oil pressure but the dash reads zero. While looking for answers I seen that the culprit might be a faulty oil sending unit because I have oil leaking from around the oil sending unit. My question is two parts 1. What would it take to change the sending unit & 2. Does anyone want to part ways with there working extra sending unit?

Ieedsome help on my car but it wont let me post on the newbie Q&A. Should I post my questions here instead?

I found a dimmer/ color control dial mounted in my conquest and I wanted to hook it back up. Does anyone know what fuse location the interior lights are on? If anyone has one installed on there starquest let me know if you like it or any problems you have ran into installing.

Best of luck with your repairs. Im in the same boat but my car registers zero ats and maintains zero but it idles, runs, and doesnt show its getting hot?? Keep us updated, I'll be reading, troubleshooting and comparing just in case I might be missing something.

Big problem in little conquest
2conquest replied to 2conquest's topic in Newbie Question and Answers
Hope that helps someone! I do need help figuring out the wiring for the fans. I tried looking for info but found nothing so sorry if its covered in another forum topic. The problem im having is when the key is on the accessories setting 2 of my fans kick on but my 2nd puller fan is not turning on even after longer trips. I tried energizing the fan but that stops the other fan from working and puts the energized fan into a crawl. Last thing to ask is anyone else motor burning hot after a few minutes of driving? I plan on testing oil pressure (the needle reads zero) but on the dip stick it shows there is oil and the leaks from some parts (oil pressure sender) seem like that shows flow of oil. Thank you for the help in advance -

It was a bad connection at a spliced connection near the fuse box that I hadn't seen before. Also the previous owner had a mess of fan wires and general wires stuffed near the battery so i cleaned them up and boom, she started right up. The previous owner is a student at one of the big automotivehttp://cdncache-a.akamaihd.net/items/it/img/arrow-10x10.png schools and it was pretty clear that he was in over his head with this one but I haven't gotten to the bottom of the barrel yet still plenty to do. -

After a week of testing I finally found the problem! Cars back up and running woot woot!!!! time for a beer -
Hello, I have had my conquest tsi for a little and I really love it but recently its been giving me a few problems and now it wont start. When I bought the tsi it had visible damage to the drivers rear panel, the previous owner said it wasn't affecting anything so no big deal right? Wrong. Lol. So I was driving and under acceleration it seemed to hesitate so I turned around and started heading home then bam!! Car dies, no sputtering or warning. I got it towed home pulled off the tank and wouldnt you know it the neck to the tank was severed and the fuel pump stopped flowing (probably from the lack of vapor/ fuel). I have since then dropped the tank on both my conquests and and swapped the fuel pump from my '86 --> '89 along with everything else that needed replacing. Now this is where I'm stuck.. I can hear my pump turn on now and i put gas in the tank (half to a 3rd of a tank) but it still wont turn over. Any ideas info or just where to go from here would be a great help. Oh I did not prime the pump because i knew the pump is good.
