  1. i agree.i went back through the post wondering where the 1000 dollars came from.
  2. One unpopular option is to swap to the same year Riviera brake system as a last resort.its the conventional system.as in everything up to 1988.i will when I have to.
  3. i hooked one to the heater hose that it said to use.it seemed to me the water hose water was coming straight back out the radiator clear and not flushing anything.has anyone successfully used this on a reatta?i need to replace the hose because its leaking at the t and wonder if i should put it back in?
  4. just change the brake fluid every couple of years.if the amber antilock brake light comes on just remove the bulb.you don't NEED antilock brakes.mine hasn't worked in years.if the red light comes on don't drive it.
  5. on my 89 camaro i had to wiggle the plugs on the horns to get them to work.
  6. Download a speedo app to your phone.thats what I'm using.
  7. i ordered parts from jim this week.marck is also a good source for parts but at a higher price.
  8. If it's like my 89 you can remove the glove box and get a pretty good view of it.i have the same problem.
  9. it started working again most of the time.it still cuts out going right around curves fast. i can tell when the cruise disengages. something must be loose.
  10. i don't have a garage so i'll look when the weather gets better.
  11. it takes several hits of the button to unlock the doors.before i take off the door panels will this be a lubrication problem or should i order new motors?
  12. i realized my cruise wasn't worked either depending on the wrong speed.i could use my phone as a speedo but i need my cruise control.
  13. after finally hitting the right combo of buttons on the touch screen i was able to watch the speed on the computer.its the same as the speedo.only other problem is loss of mix door control.
  14. i get home at dark this time of year so i will have to look at it friday.
  15. it stays at zero for a while and eventually moves up but not accurate.
  16. can anyone point me to instructions on how to troubleshoot the speedo on an 89.i checked ronnies site.i have the shop manual but often its hard to understand.
  17. one thing ive noticed...since i pulled the fuses for the headlight doors the battery is always ready to go.before it would be dead in four days.
  18. is there one with a screw mount?mine keep falling off.
  19. the alternator is sized to run that plus the ac clutch,cooling fan and other things.your car is running completely off the battery.the alternator isn't charging it for some reason.
  20. my guess? is that the bump maybe broke the filter tube and you aren't getting fluid from the pan.it has to be that or a valve body problem.OR i once saw a torque converter hub snap off on a c4 ford.you could hook a guage and check for fluid pressure.
