A) not tooooo cold outside, or
B) when its good and runnin and hot? Sounds like this dumb ass wire on the bottom of the starter, but i wiggle it and it works sometimes, and other times nothing. Im i so stupid that it could just be corrosion all around on this ONE wire?
the wires/cables running to the starter or battery could be badly corroded. i had a similar problem on a t4: when i would turn the key, all the lights would go out and nothing would happen even though the battery was fully charged. i looked at the battery cables and the negative was extremely corroded at the battery end. trimmed the ugly part and all was fine afterward.
sorry to hear about your accident. depending on how bad it is, you may be able to knock most of it out by just removing the interior door panel (takes 5 min) and then hitting the dents back out. i've done it with good results before. just use a piece of wood, like the handle of a hammer, to reach the dents. the sooner you do it, the better though. the longer it sits dented, the less inclined it is to go back to its original shape.
Did that.. Now it looks ... O k. Damn my old art teachers and smooth lines, as soon as i get a dent in anything i wanna rage, even though i know much better thru teachings. i want a pristine example now, but now im just some where in the middle which has a tendency to lean towards the rage!
Got $400 for the door. I could have taken the dude for a ride, but decided against it for the good of the uni.. Second time someone has hit that damn door!!
Guess im gonna have to crawl down under her and mess w those wires next... Weird how uninspiring mud season in a ski town is. Hit early this year too...
>I want to go to school in bc..
The shop/garage space i created has two hanger doors and they were both buried by snow/ice/frozen gravel.. When i dug them out it created to pockets that the surrounding snow has been thawing into and freezing at night.. Genius. So i haven't been able to wheel a car into an otherwise ready to go shop for a week or so! Other then that its go time in there, time to play with . . . stuff

say, that color almost looks like it was designed as Utah camouflage. You could take it one step further and paint some lighter color patches on your car. than you can hide there in the wilderness with little chance of being found.
looks like a movie set. A band of Indians on horse back will come out of nowhere yipping and shooting arrows at you as you make a hasty retreat at any moment.
Apart from its obvious function - what is a "water center?"

Brought a Benz diesel back from Colorado the other day, if anyone else was wondering if it could fit! (Diesel going in 85' 4runner:) my tranny is now making the slightest whirring noise when the clutch is released.. Not too bad but I want to check it out.. Maybe the weight of the diesel loosened some things?? Any guesses?

does the whirring occur in all gears AND neutral when the clutch is released? if so, it's probably the input shaft bearing. the input shaft of the trans spins when the clutch is engaged in all gears and neutral, as opposed to pilot and throwout bearings which both spin when the clutch is disengaged (aka clutch pedal pressed down).
replacing the input shaft bearing requires removal and disassembly of the trans. probably not related to the fact you were hauling an engine in the car, bearings wear out eventually.
