  1. i can't find my spark tester so i shot some starter fluid down the tube from the air breather.nothing but backfires.
  2. i know i could search but i hope someone will suggest what to check first.i was driving down the road and all of a sudden the car started running badly.i stopped at a store and the car started back up still running badly.i drove a quarter mile to where i was going and cut the car off.five minutes later it wouldn't start.im glad i have AAA.still won't start.i can hear the fuel pump priming.
  3. id be tempted to try to swap the 3.8 into the fiero.pocket rocket.
  4. the tax value on my 89 is 1200 dollars.and its drivable.buy the car if you like it.
  5. no.jim fin rebuilds them.btw thats a rivera switch.i need the slider knobs but they always break when i try to remove them.
  6. i think a big one would help.i suspect they come in different sizes.
  7. when i install my aftermarket relay harness am i going to have this problem?i guess i could use the console button if i do.
  8. i STILL haven't found a single reatta in a junkyard ever.i check pickaparts and lkqs website every thursday.no right year rivs either.
  9. i bypassed the relay the windows and sunroof is on last year so could roll up the windows without a key.the radio goes off when i open a door not with the key as i thought.
  10. i checked mine today.two month old battery,driven week before last.battery completely dead.
  11. i know dextron 6 claims that.i was wondering if anyone had heard conflicting information.
  12. i was going to check mine then i remembered i stripped off the pealing clearcoat.
  13. yes but that looks bad.ive done that before.
  14. what do i replace it with at a good price?
  15. i fixed my antilock brakes by taking the warning bulb out.now it doesn't blind me at night.
  16. i don't care for the wheels.the allante had a 300 hp northstar.i suspect the engine cradles of the allante and reatta are similar.
  17. i doubt any of the reattas except the verts will go up in value.
  18. my power mirrors have never worked.since im the only one that drives it its not a problem.
  19. ive been driving mine to work this week.i have to be careful with the overdrive...if it goes into overdrive at too high rpm the car bucks and shakes.also the ecc screen has started coming on again.it still drives well other than the od situation.i need daniel to come convert it to the later supercharged engine and trans.
  20. that cars in great shape but i don't care for the interior color.
  21. the thermostat that was in the engine had a gasket around the end of the thermostat against the water neck.the replacement oreilly sold me goes around the outside of the flange.which is the correct one?i also got the o ring for the water neck.btw ive never seen a radiator petcock in a worse place.i broke a vacumn line from the transmission modulater trying to reach it.
  22. walmart doesn't list a battery for the 1989 reatta or riv.so i bought one for a 90.was there different batteries different years?the one i got looked the same but the model number was slightly different.
