#1971 of 4944 Re: Volvo S70 dash question [mdwalton1] by qbrozen Sep 03, 2005 (4:16 pm)
Replying to: mdwalton1 (Sep 03, 2005 3:21 pm) this is VERY common (i'm really surprised this is the first time you are seeing it). The connectors on the switch get dirty and lose contact. MOst times, the quick and easy fix is the quickly rotate the switch all the way left and right several times. This will usually clean the connectors. In more extreme cases, you can remove it, disassemble it, and clean it. Or, of course, you could always replace it. Replies to this message: mdwalton1 (Sep 03, 2005 4:55 pm)

Replying to: qbrozen (Sep 03, 2005 4:16 pm) If I read this correctly, I think you mean the knob that tells me the temp. and miles is dirty and that's why the word "dISC" is flashing. If so, I'll try to flip it a few times and see if it stops doing that. Thanks for your help!!

#1976 of 4944 Delayed starting by ghostrider84 Sep 04, 2005 (7:43 am)
My 2000 GMC Savana with a 7.4L motor has delayed starting that is intermitting. It happens sometimes at first starting or after its warm it is verry inconsistant. It also starts at the first turn over. It has 145000 miles, I have just tuned it up including a new ign coil, cap, rotor, wires, plugs, Is there something that will delay the starting if there is low oil pressure or what. It has great oil pressure. I have replaced the fuel pump, filter and just about anything that I can. Can you help.

#1978 of 4944 honda civic 93 not a mechanic pls bear with me by aliplah Sep 05, 2005 (4:19 am)
i have a honda civic 93. done about 230,000 km. i know its a lot. just lately, i tipped in too much engine oil into the engine. started blowing white smoke. drained it, tipped new engine oil (right amount this time), no more smoke. then, it worked for one day. the next day it wouldnt start, so i decided to change the spark plugs. it worked again. didnt touch it, then wanted to drive it. then it starts {it started, however, the car sorta died, very very unstable sort of start. engine sounds like almost dying, but not actually dead} am i making sense??? is it the spark plugs?? please help me. i really will appreciate it.

Replying to: crankshaft (Sep 04, 2005 5:08 pm) The Ac compressor will not turn on but is not seize the control blows out luke warm air and i think it might be the control unit
