could be a number of things, top mounts, steering rack bushes, tie rod ends, damaged coil spring... if you know your way around a spanner, jack the front up and have a buddy hold the steering wheel in position and give the wheels a hard shake, left to right and up and down, there should be no...
experienced a strange problem today and thought id share.
was driving along all was well, then at a intersection when I dipped the clutch she went straight to zero, didn't even try to idle, re started, revved up fine then went straight to zero again, so drove home just keeping the revs up at...
I just use course steel wool inside the can as a kind of baffle, just watch the size of the nipples going to the can, have had oil blow out the dipstick tube because the diameter of the fittings on the can were too small to cope with the pressures... running 3/4 fittings now with no problems
there have been a few with the same problem, mine was a MAP sensor problem...
if you search the forum for cutting out at stop streets etc you should find more info
cam pulleys can be tightened using the cam locking tool, there is also a flywheel locking tool to lock the crank that goes inplace of the tdc sensor, or u can grab a mate with a big screwdriver, make sure you take the horse shoe out when tightening else you could bend it... tighten everything up...
best way to see is put it on diagnostics and look at the swing of the sensor... if its not swinging to its full range or is biased to one side then sensor may be at fault... lambdas are a common problem though and are fairly easy to replace
keyed crank sprockets have been used when modding the engine for more power, turbos etc so they are available, but if the engine is standard then theres not much worry of it slipping if its tightened up properly...
to check the loom, unplug the harness from the computer, you will need a pin out diagram of the connector to bridge the wires going to the sensor, then check for continuity on the sensor plug...
you have replaced all the usual culprits, although i had a similar problem from the coil packs not making proper contact with the plugs, take a look at the contacts on the spark plugs and see if theres any sign of arcing or melting, if there is change em and clean the leads and make sure that...
post cat lambda, its there to see if the cat is working... if its throwing a light your cat is not running as efficiently as it should be... or... that sensor is toast, cast swap the front and back sensors around to see if they are working properly
then you should be able to use fairly small switches, just be careful what you use as the wiring is a bit strange, the passenger side is wired through the driver side, ive made up a pin out diagram but i couldn't replicate the diagram with a 6 poll switch, need a 9 poll or something as there is...
If you are bypassing the uch relays then u need a switch with a large current capacity, but i you are just re locating them then udomt need huge switches
