Re: 87 SR5 4wd from Vancouver!

Re: We're back?

i was relatively new to this forum by the time it went down, however I did miss it a lot. if there is a way i can help, i'd be more than willing to. also, if money is an issue for upkeeping the site, i would be more than happy to participate in some sort of donation system.

Re: 87 SR5 4wd from Vancouver!

It's not connected to the key lock. the solenoid is connected to the arm that the manual lock connects to. since the key lock moves that arm up and down when you use the key, it also moves the solenoid up and down

essentially I watched an episode of mighty car mods (going back to the first clip they had!): http://youtu.be/Pj0w0xo2ChY?t=3m17s then bought this one for myself: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/4-Door-Power-Central-Lock-Kit-w-2-Keyless-Entry-Car-Remote-Control-Conversion-/321508376183?pt=US_Audio_Video_Remo...

WTB: Some specific parts

I'm after some difficult items. I've had some luck finding wagon parts locally, but the closest I've come to a 87 T4 is a 86 fwd wagon. I've looked around the forum/ebay/local listings, and nothing so far, so here goes I'm looking for (this list might grow): Left side 87/88 corner light 4wd selector...

Re: 87 SR5 4wd from Vancouver!

Re: 87 SR5 4wd from Vancouver!

Re: 87 SR5 4wd from Vancouver!

Got a new muffler! the old one was clamped on, but where it was clamped in was rusted, so it was just hanging by one hanger at the very rear of the car. the over-axle portion had holes everywhere as well. surprisingly everything in front of the rear axle was in good shape, so a cut, few bends and we...

Re: If you suddenly find yourself getting bad fuel economy

welp. solenoids are both gone. i should have tested this when the carb was off the car. pretty happy that i heard this while i had an exhaust leak at the rear axle U section, otherwise I wouldn't have known. there's a really minty 83 fwd hatch at the yards, wondering if i should get it from there......

Re: If you suddenly find yourself getting bad fuel economy

thanks guys. i had just rebuilt my carb and i'm almost 99% certain the vac lines are correct. as for the carb adjustment after the rebuild, i've gotten nowhere with the FSM. not sure if there's an order or a "starting point". how do you guys adjust everything? air filter housing off? or ta...
