Hehe, yeah I did install two extra thermometers. I had cooling issues before. I redid all of the cooling system as far as I could without taking the engine apart.
I have an extra water temperature...

My intention was to convert my 1986 2wd van, to electric fan's for cooling, but I am unsure if it is a good idea or not.

The current cooling works fine. It has a new (cheap aftermarket copper)...

Yeah, it looks quite possible to rebuild one...
and it is not what you asked for, but there is a brand new one on ebay.

Oh wow, that is one amazing little camper! :drool:
wouldn’t an add-a-leaf work? Or a longer shackle, if you do not want the suspension to get any stiffer. Or both :wnk:

that is properly weird. Did you check your system voltage, is it 14-ish volts when running? And does that remain so with the headlights on?

No, the ECE specification is for the beam pattern. I think in the US there is the DOT beam pattern.
I wanted to say, that we have special/specific requirements for the beam pattern of the dipped...

I ended with the JW speaker headlights, because they seem to be the only ones that are ECE certified, and over here they really check that at the...

I would guess a small wire. The three pin wire towards the alternator, has a pin for sensing (that one isn't it, because if it loses connection, the voltage goes up), but the pin for ignition might...

Oh, does eaton still make 27 spline lockers for the rear differential? Or did you find an old one somewhere? I was looking for them, and I could only find the 27 spline models for front differentials.

On rockauto they have springs for the aerostar:

LOL i immediately crawled under my van, because to me that job didn’t seem easy at all, that is getting the bolt out. Funny how people can get stuck at different parts of the same task. I could not...

Hi,
I want to replace the bumpstops that are on the front lower control arms. I looked at the toyota epc data, to get the part number, and to my surprise, they were available and affordable. However...

I removed the nuts and that lever bit, yes. Not the bolt, i have no idea how it comes out. But i do nott dare to advise you on that, as I have no idea if the parts on my van are original. The bolts...

Couldn’t you just use both nuts to move them up the thread? Like, rotate the top one 1/3 turn, then rotate the bottom one 1/3 turn. Then you can use twice the treads, maybe you can get past the bad...

I have not seen any specific info, but my guess would be that the process of getting it out would be rather similar to the previous generation....

Yeah sorry, i do not know how to fix the resolution, it is fine on my ipad, but scales down when i post.
the bottom one is labeled fl2.0L the upper one is fl1.25B...

:drool: Oh i love it, if only I didn’t live on the other side of the globe, and my girlfriend wouldn’t kill me if I put another vehicle (or project according to her) on our driveway.

I only have experience with one van, mine, a 86LE
but mine has/had that 3-wire alternator control cable, and mine could simply unplug on both ends, it is maybe 2 feet? On my van I found 17 repairs...

If your van is from 1996, I think it should have been replaced 3 times, usually it is 100k, or a certain number of years years, whatever comes first. I think usually it is 7 or 8 years.

This one?

Sort of below the distributor. It is quite big for a gasoline engine, almost like a diesel filter. And a pain to replace.

How good is your russian? ;)
I found this picture online, the one the user points to google translates to 'tachometer'

Do you have a trailer connector with reverse lights? Then maybe the two wires touch.

Have you checked for moisture underneath your distributor cap?

What do you mean exactly? there needs to be a wire, from the S(ensor) of the alternator, to the plus pole of the battery. It came with the yellow fusible link thingie near the battery. This wire...

The fuel pump hums only very briefly when starting (and when the engine is actually running). You have to jump the fuel-pump-test-connector near the airbox to make it hum.


Also, when i replaced...

I think it is the temperature sensor that disables the overdrive of the automatic gearbox when the engine is cool.

Oh really? Are mine not original? I honestly have no idea, but on mine the connector is the bosch ev1 connector. I do not have access to another van, to see if it has different injectors/connectors.

Hi, I am tagging this thread also.
I do not (yet) have to replace my headgasket, but I do want to do the injectors, as they look like they are original, and they are very loose (as in, they try to...

If you are checking for vacuum leaks, you might as well check the idle signal of the throttle position sensor. You do not have to remove it to test if it sort of works. Connect a multimeter to the...

I see no reason why you can't connect a fan to the plus box, if you use a relay, and a fuse between the relay and the plus box.

Yes, just take a multimeter, on amp setting, and measure (with a charged battery, and the keys not in the ignition) the drain to that cable. Then pull each fuse, to see if the drain is still there,...

If the lights on the dash do not come on, when you put the key to ignition, I would start troubleshooting at the ignition relay with a multimeter. It has 4 (or 5) pins. If you pull it, on the socket...
