    Windshield Trim (lower)

    Ebay, Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace don't have anything like that. Junkyard may have the same make and model, and perhaps year, which will be in old and beginning to flake or turn brittle condition But thanks, at least you were willing to reply. Two years ago, I did find a supplier...

    Windshield Trim (lower)

    I noticed today the trim strip, rubber strip along the bottom edge of windshield is starting to come apart(separating itself into pieces). Last year I did find a strip for around the skylight/sun light in the roof. But most thing like this are discontinued. Any idea were i could find a...

    Sticking Solenoid?

    Back to doing it again. Winter time, cold weather, certainly causes me to believe it is cold grease, thickenend by cold weather that does it. Which makes me think take out the starter and clean it. A least see if there is a build-up of grease on it. And after cleaning, simply leave it to...

    Door trim

    I need the door trim piece, the rubber around the edge of the door that seals it shut when closed. It says discontinued on the parts website. So I'll have to try the junkyard or an aftermarket supplier. Does anyone have any ideas about who or where? Thanks dc

    Sticking Solenoid?

    Does not do it again, now, what, weeks or months? So I have no idea if there is a problem or not. dc

    Torque Converter

    I can get under it and going with getting it out. But first, I want to know about a new/different one, I like the junkyard prices on them but how do I know I have a good one or not. And, if that's really the issue. dc

    Torque Converter

    Put it in gear and start to accelerate, it seems to hesitate a bit before taking off. Also check trans fluid running with oil dipstick. Comes up in the cross hatch marks. This model has hill start assist. I'm wondering if that is malfunctioning and kicking in. It is supposed to be in the...

    Torque Converter

    Cold. Sitting and cold it shows at 98 cc or cm I don't know, same as 3 5/8 inches. Which has always been where it was. It does still run. Just starts out hard, dc

    Torque Converter

    Is my torque converter going out? It seems to be getting harder and harder to start out. After a little use it seems to warm up a run right. Are there any positive tests to determine if that's the issue? dc

    Sticking Solenoid?

    KJ owner, thank you, those are good ideas. However, I would need to have all that ready for when and if it were to do it again. The thing is very intermittant, that is, only happens on rare occasions, which occur I have no idea when. And I would have to have long test leads to allow me to see...

    Sticking Solenoid?

    Like a thrashing machine. That is, trying to start but not starting because the starter, which has not disengaged, is slowing it down and causing it to stall out. Yeah, I think that is what it is not doing. It does make some noise. But it may simply be the switch. I'm wiggling the switch to...

    Sticking Solenoid?

    Thanks Dad, you have given me much to think about ... or test. Part of the problem is recreating the problem. I have been intermittently going to start it to see if it does this again. Like above, it had quit doing it for many months. I randomly tried it today and twice it did it...

    Sticking Solenoid?

    No. It stops then. When I cut the key back to nothing, it stops. All the classic signs of a bad solenoid. But. What else could be involved? dc
