    can you tell me what this is in my picture?

    OK good info....So the diverter valve is on the pump? Have you heard of these trucks being brand sensitive? I thought I saw somewhere a guy was able to stop his o2 code by buying a delco sensor. Its just another $50 so I am reluctant to do it.

    can you tell me what this is in my picture?

    i should note that im assuming this is the coil but where would this wire go? I see nothing in the area for it to connect to.

    can you tell me what this is in my picture?

    ok i am trying to troubleshoot an o2 code (1-3) i think it may be the result of some other electrical issue as i have replaced the sensor with a new bosch, so i have found a few cut wires and will start with this one. this is from some electrical connection between my tbi and the distributor...

    coolant temp sensor at manifold....

    Ok it looks like I was mistaken....1-3 refers to an o2 sensor? I got this truck thinking it never had them because they were not in....the PO hacked out the cat. and must have removed the 02s also? Where would I find the wiring for those on the truck and did all tbi's have them or could his be a...

    coolant temp sensor at manifold....

    Just the 1-3 which if I remember only refers back to the sensor right? The thing is it does not throw right away, it only comes on when the truck hits 170 degrees....at least I made that mental note when it came on last.

    coolant temp sensor at manifold....

    I finally found a replacement with the new pigtailand it turned the check engine light off but it comes back on after driving for a while and is throwing that same code......any ideas? My bypass hose looks kinked and needs replaced but would that cause the temp sensor to throw codes? As...

    power steering question

    That's exactly the info I was looking for but I already went and put a reman. pump on it so I guess it will have to wait. What year van was that pump for? Also any idea why I still am hearing the whining noise from my pump? I bled system by simply turning the wheels back and fourth with...

    power steering question

    Thats interesting....where did the cooler mount? Is the pump still the same design? That cooler must retain the additional fluid that my res holds for my system. I always assumed the res was there because the hydro boost required more fluid but maybe it just serves as a cooler as it does install...

    power steering question

    Any one else have a remote ps reservoir with the hydroboost? Do I need it? Couldn't I get the pump that has the larger fluid capacity instead? Anyways wtf do I use for the hose that runs from res to ps pump? It had an old coolant hose that looks like its been leaking for years all over the...

    window motors or regulators?

    Yeah I am starting to suspect the switches as well.... they also have a grounding wire that could be the culprit. Still not yet driving the truck while I get this little crap fixed and until this week I have been in no rush. Now I need it on the road and still have too much to figure out........

    window motors or regulators?

    So 3 of the 4 power windows work but they move incredibly slow. I pulled the drivers regulator and cleaned it up which seemed to help but not for long. What is the best way to diagnose without just replacing **** until they work right ..... which seems to be my normal method. Do the power...

    for the love of god help me guys,

    It's the relay under the dash. They just dont operate every time they are switched, but hell nothing does on this truck. The power windows only work half the time.the relay looks as if its been taken apart at some point and will no longer stay in its housing. A cheap part I know but 5$ here, 25$...

    for the love of god help me guys,

    87 tbi 454. Something is drawing a charge from my battery. But put a new one in and in a week went under 11 volts. Messed around under the dash yesterday and now its completely dead today. The door lock relay is pulled apart? Seems suspect I guess but it did not seem to be bound up or humming in...
