Replying to: alcan (Sep 13, 2005 3:19 am) I dont think you will remember my post. Its been sooo long and an ongoing process, but after I installed the tranny cooler which the mechanic disconnected and moved the radiator to do, the CEL started coming on at much lower engine rpms and temperature. Thats probably what caused the air filter box to open a crack, the pulling on the intake housing. I had blown it clean with Aerosol pre installing tranny cooler. Now I think I will either try aerosol on it again , carb cleaner,or just buy a new Bosch for $106 online.Do you have any experience with the carb cleaner? If you think its not a good idea , (wire is very thin I have seen it) ,do you think the Bosch will be ok not being OEM? I have to lug it to Greece and want to be sure about it . Mazda has reman only. Bosch has new ones Thx Alcan for your quick reply and time PGP
#2032 of 4963 Intermittent brake light problem by cornellpinoy Sep 13, 2005 (6:24 pm)
On a '94 Olds Cutlass Supreme, the rear taillamps do not always illuminate when the brake pedal is pressed. However, the center brake light ALWAYS illuminates when the brake pedal is pressed. The taillamps illuminate when the brake pedal is pressed only if you play with the hazard switch. The bulbs in the taillamps are good. The turn signals and hazard flashers operate correctly. Any ideas?
#2033 of 4963 Windsheild wiper fluid nozzel clogged by fgmyed Sep 13, 2005 (7:59 pm)
We have 1996 BMZ Z3 and 1999 Infiniti I 30 and both cars windshield wiper fluid sprays do not work. When we try to turn it on we can hear the pump working and both reservoirs are full. My guess is lines are clogged. My question is how do you clean the lines? Thank you. Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Sep 14, 2005 6:52 am)

Replying to: fgmyed (Sep 13, 2005 7:59 pm) It's probably the nozzles themselves that are plugged. It's best to just get new ones installed--it's not expensive to do that. You can use a pin to clean the nozzles but that's usually just temporary. The lines really can't "plug" but they can fall off---of course, if the lines were loose you'd see fluid leaking out.

HELP!!!!!! Where is the thermostat located and how hard is it to replace? The heater and defroster in my 2000 Mazda is blowing plenty of air, but it's not getting hot......hoping this will be an easy do-it-yourself fix. thanks!

Replying to: 1718 (Sep 14, 2005 10:02 am) that's probably not your problem. What is your engine temperature gauge reading?

Replying to: crankshaft (Sep 12, 2005 4:58 pm) Thanks for the input. You and others have mentioned adding alcohol, what type of alcohol do i use for this, or is it just called alcohol? is this hardware store stuff or automotive, and by 10%, do you mean volume (10% of the gas in the tank)? Once you mix in with the fuel, how long do you figure it takes to get through the system? Thanks again, I really am trying to ace this one!! Replies to this message: imidazol97 (Sep 14, 2005 4:27 pm)
