Bake82 Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 Hmm...that looks SOO familiar........Let me look at my car to see what I can find for you......I think it's AC or into the rad..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwmin Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 theres nothing on a 3.4 like that there, so im lost havent looked at a pushrod in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFFENDI Posted August 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 there is already a wire into the ac.. was thinking that is where it should've gone.. thought of rad too..... it may .. i just havent found it.. thanks for looking though..... we're going to get everything going tomorrow.... maybe looking at it with fresh eyes will do the trick..

pwmin Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 stupid question: wheres the icm on those. havent looked at one in a long-ass time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFFENDI Posted August 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 midway up front of engine on drivers side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the-rage Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 some more info in regards to that clip. it connects into a sensor? on the back side of the engine then the wire comes forwards with the other wires... so its gotta go somewhere i think... lol we could take pics of where it plugs in at the back if that would help too...

birdman Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 dont know what all the plugs look like but ill throw some out there, oil pressure, cam sensor, coolant level, thats all i can think of. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwmin Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 dont know what all the plugs look like but ill throw some out there, oil pressure, cam sensor, coolant level, thats all i can think of. good luck it could plug into just about anything. could be the oil pressure sensor right near the oil filter?

EFFENDI Posted August 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 we found it. plugged into the icm.. apparantly there are 3 plugs into there oh well.... turns out the lower rad hose necessary for the water pump on this engine is a different size then the old one thats the next problem.. its a problem since all the stores are closed today.. and cantire doesnt have it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwmin Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 plugged into the icm HAH! i was right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFFENDI Posted August 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 almost everything is in.... lower rad hose is still holding us up.... cantire guy this morning said he would order us one.. when we went back to cantire later.... they said they couldnt get us one... discontinued that makes sense..... how could cantire not have a source for a lower rad hose??? one of the lugnuts on front wheel was stuck.. got rounded when we tried getting it off .. hammered a smaller socket on .. still wouldnt go.... so we ended up drilling out the stud.. now we cant get the new one in.... looks like we'll have to remove the hub...

White93z34 Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 front stud replacement requires the hub to be unbolted to get a new one in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwmin Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 front stud replacement requires the hub to be unbolted to get a new one in there should be a cutout where you can get a bolt by, at least thats how my 96 was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFFENDI Posted August 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 there is a cutout at the bottom... but the hub needs to come off first... stud is still about a 1/4" too long to get in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFFENDI Posted August 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 WELL.. the engine runs great.. thats a relief.... too bad i've got the brakes apart or i could give er a spin.... and the major leak on the return fuel line.... that slows me down a bit too.. now i feel like a bag of crap though.. know when you get those colds or flus when all of your skin turns very sensitive... like a full body burn.. just developed that over the past couple hours.. maybe i poisoned myself... if i stop posting altogether .. send help.. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ns87 Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 Those are the worst. But that is also one of the funniest posts I've read in a lnog time. Congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1990lumina Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 there is a cutout at the bottom... but the hub needs to come off first... stud is still about a 1/4" too long to get in Cut the stud off with a hack saw and then push it outt he back through that cut out..then go to GM and get the shorter stud that doesn't require hub removal - worked fine for me.

EFFENDI Posted August 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 sounds great... i'll check that out once i regain consciousness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1990lumina Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 sounds great... i'll check that out once i regain consciousness Should work fine with the shoter stud if you have factory wheels..if you are using spacers already then you might wanna fix it with the original stud ol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwmin Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 yeah youll be fine w/ stock wheels to use the shorter studs. i got sick a couple weeks ago and got that feeling too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFFENDI Posted August 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 well....... we drove it yesterday..... sounds like a bomb.. (no muffler) rides awesome.... when we got back to my place .. we found a few leaks..... one is lower rad hose.... new clamp needed the other is brake fluid..... but it was a sweet drive... bit late to take it out in the neighbourhood though... after 11pm riding around on a september 2004 plate sticker with no muffler or hood am i ever tired again...... another 4 hour sleep night........ must be getting old..... used to not be a problem....

EFFENDI Posted August 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 well.... we've replaced the rear brake lines.... the new muffler is on....... we started the car up started real nice... now we've developed a mysterious leak from back of engine..... looked on the common problems page .. oil pump drive seal ?? it could be very decent spray running off of the back of the transmission plate at back of engine compartment.. there is lots of oily residue under the throttlebody on top of the bellhousing area.. was soooo disappointing when it leaked that much after we thought we were in great mechanical shape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFFENDI Posted August 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 any idea what size the bolts are for the airbox? mine have gone missing.... nothing holding it in anymore..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
