    R&R Crossover Gaskets -- Any Tips?

    I appreciate all the helpful reponses, but I ended up having the car hauled to the dealer before I got it done. I didn't really give up (in my mind, at least), but rather realized that there was just no way I could finish this project before the weekend when I really need the car for a trip...

    R&R Crossover Gaskets -- Any Tips?

    I tried it, and it didn't work. I retorqued the bolts at the crossover and fired her up. Leaks everywhere. Gotta replace the gasket once it's been compressed

    R&R Crossover Gaskets -- Any Tips?

    Black ATV sealant -- OK, thanks for that tip. Actually, while removing the torx bolts on the crossover housing, I discovered that one of the bolts was loose -- not even hand-tight. So, the gasket may not even be the culprit -- one of the crossover housing bolts just may have worked it's way...

    R&R Crossover Gaskets -- Any Tips?

    Ok, so I do need to detach the T-stat housing first and take them out seperately. Makes sense -- I see no other way. I'll reinsert the crossover housing bolts before I take off the T-stat housing, and go from there. I also assume that once the T-stat housing is detached, that gasket cannot be...

    R&R Crossover Gaskets -- Any Tips?

    Got the dreaded water leak from the passenger side crossover gasket of my '94. I've read on here that they're a PITA, but not impossible, to replace without removing the intake manifold. I've got the cowl off and the crossover housing torx bolts out, but I don't see how it's possible to get...

    Smog for Gen I -- Can't get RPM Reading?

    Re: Smog for Gen I -- Can\'t get RPM Reading? I'm not sure where they were trying to get the signal from, but I'd expect from the wires. They probably tried multiple -- each shop said they tried hard to find the signal, but couldn't I guess I'll take it to a dealer with a Viper tech and hope...

    Smog for Gen I -- Can't get RPM Reading?

    Smog for Gen I -- Can\'t get RPM Reading? Took the car in for California smog check, and two different shops were unable to complete the test because they could not get a RPM reading from the engine. This has never been a problem before (even took it to the same shop that did the test last...

    Gen I code question

    Ray, thanks for the info. I must admit, reading your suggestions is testing the limits of my understanding of electronics. Because I don't have a voltmeter, and I'm not sure I know how to backprobe, I'm going to stick with my original plan -- clear the codes and see if the removed, cleaned...

    Gen I code question

    Hi, Thanks for that information. I haven't had any electrical or battery problems or disconnected the battery in a very long time. I've used a Battery Tender religiously since I last replaced the battery, and I've had no problems -- strong starts, normal reading on the alternator gauge, etc...

    Gen I code question

    Hello, Check Engine light came on in my '94, so I checked the codes using the ignition method (I don't have a code reader). I get three codes in this order: 12 : This code is not listed in my Service Manual. What is it? 37 : Skip shift solenoid 21 : 02 sensor I pulled both O2 sensors, and...

    New Tranny ?

    Tech. says it is the tranny and I need to find a new one. He says they're back-ordered from Dodge with no ETA given. I'm off to check the classifieds...

    New Tranny ?

    The tech. doing the work asked me the same thing. The master cylinder and pedal switch where just replaced recently, but I believe the clutch is original (84K miles). However, I need to check my records when I get home to be 100% certain I never had the clutch serviced.

    New Tranny ?

    My 1994 RT/10 died on the way to work yesterday. Was in 6th gear on a steep downhill (engine was not under any significant load) when I lost acceleration and gained grinding sounds in all gears. Dealer says they're still looking at it, but it looks like it needs a new transmission. Assuming...

    Stock Stereo Schematic for a 1994?

    Hey Badbite and carguy07, Thanks for the responses. I did find the schematic in my service manual. I don't know why it didn't occur to me to look in there before posting the question. Later, Jay R.

    Stock Stereo Schematic for a 1994?

    Hi, As part of my "back to stock" initiative I'm having the original AM/FM/Cassette stereo re-installed into my 1994. The shop doing the work called and told me that the place that put in my Eclipse Minidisc Changer cut all the factory connectors, so they need the schematic for the stock...
