Awesome; I can tighten to spec and then move back again. I was afraid I'd loosen things again if I did that. I guess if I drive it for a while and it hangs up again, there's some secondary issue at...

The nut that attached the lever from the 3rd gear rod to the side of the gearbox.

I *may* have fixed it, though. I was back under the car trying to find the neutral-adjustment (can't get to that...

Sigh. I got under the car today to look at the linkages. One was very loose (the nut had almost slipped off completely -- there was no lock washer!) but even after tightening that, I still can only...

4+3 only goes into 3rd but will go into reverse?

I was out for a drive yesterday, enjoying the nice weather in MD, when I ran into a transmission problem. TL; DR the car seems to be stuck in third and the shifter barely moves other than into...

I've only put a few miles on them so far, but the BFGs mentioned above seem like great tires. They stick well in chilly temps and are much smoother than what they replaced. For me it was between...

As a followup, I ordered the BFG g-Force Comp-2 A/S PLUS from TireRack. They got better (and more) reviews than the Coopers, which were still a good choice.

Thanks for all your suggestions!

'86-compatible ALDL connector with wires

Long story, but the wiring to the ALDL connector on my '86 is dying and I'd like to splice in a replacement.
Thanks

Thanks again. I'll try to get TPIS to send a corrected bin; if they keep failing at that then I'll probably look into the wiring harness change.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I checked the data with a $32b xdf; it makes even less sense. I don't have a $6e xdf available.

What are these flags in $32 XDF file?

Hey all. I'm still in the process of getting a (close-enough-to) perfect bin for my modified '86 4+3. I've gotten a custom one from TPIS that is specifically built for an engine with my setup, but...

Thanks for the responses so far.

No codes, no CEL. I had the same idea about the flooding and "clear flood" mode, but I'm not sure how to check for that, or what might cause it. Injector getting...
