  1. another up date I ended up having to extend the tie rod points on the spindle moving them towards the rear of the car. Doing so corrected the darting problem and I now have it ready to drive from colorado to pennsylvainia!!! it's made the trip before but never with this set up so far I probably have about 1000 miles or more on it. I also have a 26 gallon tank so I can run 450 miles on a tank easily which equates to 4 stops on my way east!!!
  2. I checked the contact patches and they rotate right in the middle of tire. I was having a hard time understanding the caster settings on the print out i was given. I'm not sure where they are at the guy who did the alignment said he would be concerned about how the tires will wear due to the caster??? which didn't sound correct to me.
  3. I haven't gotten it painted yet I want to paint it black. I do have the gas tank in 450 miles on this tank so far!!! and still not empty!!! everything on the front is new. ball joints tie rod ends everything and i've jacked it up and everything is tight too. it couldn't be bad bushings in the power rod on the rack could it???
  4. alright heres what I got took it on a 400 mile trip. I had it aligned the steering isn't right it's doing something I've never experienced before it darts when turning into a turn and then mellows out coming out of the turn the wheel wont be straight but it drives straight. Then the next time it will do it the wheel with come out straight and it drives straight. It will do it if it hits a bump or a dip in the road a certain way. It does all of this some of the time!!! if it doesn't it drives great nice turn in and control at high speeds.
  5. Alight here's the deal I got some parts this is what I got euro head lights okay shape diesel front springs cut them to lower a nondiesel car they work great e-break cables grill cover for winter 85 diesel turbo good shape vdo egt gauge vdo boost gauge 85 instrument cluster with almost new 140 mph speedo black trim and clear plastic broken but still works diesel vacuum pump infinity speakers front and rear fuel filter assembly doesn't leak rear tail lights good shape and work rear brakes caliper assemblies with good performance pads e-brake works good grill wiper motor and assembly worked great not sluggish sun roof spoiler 89 V6 rotors in good shape 89 V6 hubs vented front calipers with good performance pads 85 maintenance manuals make me an offer on this stuff I need to move it fast!
  6. I've been down the shift linkage road before. I've had them fall apart on me on the road and I'd be stuck in whatever gear I was in. I've heim jointed the whole thing when I did the auto to manual swap I changed the shift points to create a short throw shifter. Works great and no more problems.
  7. I'll have to play around a bit more with mine then. It slides out almost all the way but hits part of the engine and I cant seem to rotate it around to get it out. I'm thinking of just cutting the sleeve it slides into a little to get it out it cant be in it anymore than 1 inch
  8. on the v6 do you need to separate the engine and transmission to remove the slave cylinder???
  9. I'm about to get my 89 with the 17's front and 18's rear aligned. I've been running it about 500 miles now and I believe I have it sorted out enough to get it professionaly aligned. It's close now it drives straigt handles fine but it seems to pull hard going left so it's time to put it on the rack. what would be the best set up for the street on the alignment toe out and camber??? I have adjustable camber plates on it now so I will be able to set the front camber. Caster is set however at whatever it is haha. I will get some more pictures posted on it here in the future. Thanks
  10. okay it blows out of the defroster vents it's strange I replaced the climate control module and it didn't change anything and it's only close to full throttle and full throttle. It almost seems it is supposed to do it. It has done this since I've owned the car (almost 10 years)
  11. why does the blower motor blower harder at full throttle or half throttle? and how would one go about disconnecting it.
  12. I have a good 85 harness if youre interested different diesel engine but should still be the same
  13. it has power and is grounded. I have my other one being shipped to me. I'm starting to consider other vehicles...
  14. I got it running I believe I had a couple of problems a bad ingnition module and the one of the extras I have was also bad and a bad ground for the fuel pump. Its running now but I believe the mass air flow went bad it runs like shit when its plugged in and unplugged it runs fine as long as you don't dump the throttle. I've got to get this for it if I'm planning on keeping it http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/01-Corvette-C5-Rolling-Chassis-w-LS1-Engine-SIX-SPEED-/140596321092?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item20bc319b44
  15. I'm about to really tear into it. I'll check the the number 5 wire on the ignition module. that is the only one I haven't checked. I feel it is a brake in the wires since I could jiggle them around and it would work again, but the brake is probably back behind that sound deading panel and I replaced it with a good one when I had the engine out and I really don't want to mess it up they are such a pain in the ass haha. I'll let you know what happens. I haven't for got to get you pictures of the O2 sensor either I've been working 13 hour days everyday
  16. I have power to the coil but the one wire should flash to induce spark and it does not. So the problem should be before that like ignition module crank positions sensor or ECU. I tried a different ignition module and that didn't do anything crank position sensor and ECU didn't do anything I checked continuity from all sensors to ECU and couldn't find any brakes
  17. the sensor didn't fix it I tried switching the computers and that didn't do anything I'm stuck
  18. I got wheels for sale! one set of 88+ style in great shape with all center caps one set of 88+ style in great shape missing one center cap one set of pre 88 15" in good shape make offers!

  20. volvo has the same crank position sensor in their cars from the same era. I just don't have time to get to a junk yard to get one. I was hoping someone had a used one.
  21. I am in need of a crank position sensor for a v6 I ordered one but it isn't right I don't care if its used
  22. I got the wrong part. there was a picture of the correct part I needed on ebay, but I was sent something different. the part numbers match the wrong part so I am in need of a crank position sensor. I'm going to call western hemisphers tomorrow.
  23. poo (parts on order) should be here on the 15th ordered crank position sensor $170
  24. haha thats funny I found new ones here for 140 dollars to 160 dollars I'll get you pics of the o2 sensor wires and location soon
  25. The ckp sensor on mine had insulation on it like a spark plug wire it's all deteriated and there was a wire wrapped around it with no insulation and it was broken off the sensor side but I don’t know if it is supposed to be attached or if its a shielding wire. There are 3 terminals on it so im guessing it should be attached. The beauty of the prv6 in the us is I can go to any volvo dealer for parts which is where I gotta go for this probably
