    dccv pin ID

    I am starting to accumulate these and am wondering if there is a way to check them with a meter. There are three pins on the connector, I am guessing one for each solenoid and a common ground, but they don't seem to be marked in any way, and I have no idea what the proper resistance would be...

    spring hose clamp tool

    Has anyone found a tool that works more than once or twice on the hose clamps used from the factory? I have bought a couple of different brands (which look identical) and they either don't work at all or only work a couple of times. It looks like the carriage is bending, the idea is a good one.

    When last we chatted my 03 LS V8 was overheating, not passing emissions and blowing hot air in A/C mode. I fixed the emissions by registering the car outside of the area, checked the codes on the datc and read about 200 threads on here. I ran the car in the driveway for about 45 minutes and it...

    I am ready to give up.

    OK, I have sorted out several repairs, threw a ton of money at the car, and am still in deep trouble. After 800 bucks the cooling system seems ok, but when I tried to get it through the smog check it came back not ready on the cat and the evap- in IL this means no pass, even though it is almost...

    gd roof again

    I have fixed the drains on the moonroof twice now and they are leaking again.What has been the final answer on this issue? Does the hose keep shrinking forever? What is the I.D. of the hose? For the people who have spliced in new hose, does this make the hose clog where it narrows? I suspect...
