antenna/fog light questions
Hi everyone, i have two
simple questions. One: Do power antennas have
some type impact
sensor? I just replaced the mast on my car, because the
cable broke,
and now when i turned the radio, it wont always come up, i
usually have to
slam the door or go over a bump for it to come on. The
other
question is, how do you turn the fog lights only? I ve tried every
switch in different ways, but i always need to turn on the head lights for
the fog lights to come on.. any comments? Thanx in
advance..

I would say that you have a loose connection
somewhere.
The antenna should always go up when the radio is
turned
on.

Correct, in the US
models (3000GT) the headlamps are
required in order to turn on the fog
lights. This is
not the case in the Japanese imported models
(GTO).
There are a number of "modifications" that will get
around this
problem, you may like to have a look at
the
www.3si.org,
www.3000gt.com sites to see if it
is
mentioned there.

The New Optima Red Top has 1050 AMP !!!!! Of
course, on our cars this
cranking power is not needed, hehe.
I have
this gel-battery in all my cars and it's the best I ever had.
Smaller and
more powerful than the stock sized batt.

Team3S: re: Front wheel clunk
I too have/had(comes and goes, I love those
problems!) this happen to
my 92 Stealth RT/TT. I even had a 3/S person (I
think John Basol?)
test drive my car, but of course, it didn't do it much
when HE drove
it. I can't figure out why it does it, or what starts it. It
can
happen when the car is still cold, after hard breaking,
after
turning... but nothing in particular seems to set it of.
When I
lifted the front of the car, and turned the wheel, there was
the normal
"slop" in the differential before the other wheel start to
turn (opposite
direction of course). However, this slop also sounds a
bit "crunchy" at
times... a noise (painful... poor car) comes from
either the CV itself or the
part where it goes into the tranny. It's
the passenger front wheel area that
does this...
The CV's aren't torn, but I guess they could have gone
bad
regardless... the ball joint looks ok, and I put new tie rod ends
on
too (that cured a LOT of my loose steering play that I had when
I
bought the car. If you get info on this problem, I would like to
hear
about it! Thanks.

Original post***************
Hello
=)
I have very recently started hearing a clunk near my front left
wheel.
It is very infrequent, doesn't necessarily need hard braking, but
is
common when braking or turning. It seems as if it 'sets' in
one
position, then when I accelerate in the opposite direction, it
clunks
again, like it was going back into place... Example: I
will hear a
clunk while turning, and it will stay that way until I first hit
the
brakes. Or, I will hear it clunk when almost at a stop, then
again
when
I let off the brake to accelerate. One tech told me this
is ball
joints
- - - any thoughts? What does it take to
repair? I'm an engine and
tranny
guy, not chassis
yet!
Thanks!

Team3S: Ecu can shut off engine (fuel/spark?)
Roger said "Then of course

Is this true? The ECU has the
ability to shut down stuff to save the
engine? I mean, I know it's possible,
but I didn't think a car
manufacturer would implement this... I know DSM's
don't do that, but
it's neat to think that the 3/S's would...

This was not stated correctly by me ! The ECU doesn't
shut off the engine
as when it overheats it should idle for letting the
water circulatiing. On
our overheating problem we had on the #4 cyl. the ECU
did nothign at a ll
but the water wasn't yet at the boiling point. On my car
I made the
experience that the egine light comes on and the rpm cannot get
above 3000
rpm for a sepcific time (I guess about 3 minutes, logn time
ago...)
anymore. The effect was that the ignition was cut fully, just dead,
tach
went out and I was rolling out. When starting it again the engine light
was
on and it sounded like you drive only on 4-5 cyls, i.e. what means that
the
ECU sits on the emergency maps for fuel and ignition. Idelign brought
down
the temp within a minute and then driving around cleared the code
(there
was nothing stored afterwards !!!!) and everythng felt the same
(besides of
the broken pistons).
My mechanic once told me that the
temp and knock is observed but not the
oil ! Hmmm, why not
??

Re: Team3S: ANOTHER oil leak
There is an oil seal in the transaxle where
each front driveshaft
inserts into it. These can leak if worn or damaged. I
imagine the
seal itself is not expensive. You can replace them yourself
by:
- - remove the intake hoses and other stuff above the driveshaft
- -
remove the passenger-side wheel
- - remove the plastic covers in the wheel
well
- - remove the lower connections of the control arm (see my web
site
and the trany removal instructions)
- - have one person pull out on
the rotor/control arm while you pop the
drivshaft out with a pry bar. Don't
damage the splines or CV boot!
- - pry out the seal
- - install new seal
with the correct tool - Mitsu or home-made.
- - put everything back together
- manual recommends a new spring
C-clip on the driveshaft, be sure the shaft
pops back in.
Also, I have observed my transaxle to leak at both
driveshaft seals
when it was overfilled. Bringing the oil level back down
corrected
the problem.

I

how much

Probably just a dirty throttle body, or a dirty/bad Idle Speed

I've checked the fuses

Subject: Team3S:
boost differences
For all those that have installed boost
controllers,
some boost lines are lead off the Y-pipe, and others
are
tapped into the intake plenum.
In terms of measured PSI, is there a REAL
difference between
the two locations?
I'm concerned if the difference at 1
bar is in reality closer to 16psi
because of an incorrect boost
measurement.
Any thoughts?
