That black gunk is oil from the hose coming from the valve cover, the other valve cover hose pull it off there is a plastic noodle thing that needs cleaning it is the oil separator for PC system

 

Tightened up my swivels by pulling some shims. So long, death wobble!!!
Oil change and greased the driveshafts.

Borrowed a welder yesterday so I'll start playing around and practicing with that.

 

Oh yeah we did some work on my bumper yesterday

 

I need to do this. Is there a write up on this one?

 

Here in the tech section

PCV filter?

 

Alittle confusing in regards to ABS models vs non ABS.

 

All I did was pull out a couple shims, bolt it back together, and check the preload with a fish scale. It's 1000 times better.

 

After cleaning the stepper motor, MAF and PCV my idle has jumped up to 1200 rpm cold start. Before cleaning was around 700-800 or so. I've read all the posts on this subject and it seems compared to others mine isn't bad. Also, this may be the ECU hasn't had a chance to adapt yet? It actually purrs like a kitten at 1200 and 1000 under load.

 

This is my next project. I want to paint my wheels anyway and replace the pads. So this is going to turn into and entire afternoon project.
