Mine was originally written on a card inside of the owner's manuel. If this doens't work, the dealer should be able to provide this to you. From what I've been told, it's easily identifiable with the vehicle's VIN #.

Extreme cold as well as heat can kill a battery. I live in Phoenix, and the heat here kills batteries. If one last 2 summer's, it's considered a long time. The battery weakening seems to be a good diagnosis. I'd take your current battery by an Advanced Auto Parts or the like to have it checked and r...

I've been wandering the samething. I drive a 94 and have been looking for 95+ taillights at a good price. From what I've been told, it is a direct bolt on and swap, but haven't tried it yet myself. Too rich for my blood so far for what I've found.

Agreed, if your bottom end isn't busted up (pistons, rods, etc) than a valve job would probably be a your best bet. If you do need to replace the whole engine, you should be able to use most any year NA 850 engine. Some '93's came with a 10v engine, most you'll find are going to be 20v. This will wo...

I had the same issue a while ago, and it was a vacuum issue. Check the black soft rubber connections around the throttle body tree, and also the one that is a little difficult to see on the timing belt side of the engine that is near the thermostate area.

I have a 1994 850 5 spd NA, and have experience in my buddy's 740 turbo. Stock to stock, I'd have to say the the 740 is a little more fun to drive, with the RWD, and the turbo gives a nice kick. Conversly, I overall enjoy my 850 better, the power is pretty linear and a great daily driver. It is much...

I like Fred's idea, but I think tin foil may tare and be a little bulky. Same idea, but using the white tephlon tape that's used on the male end of a garden hose spicket to keep the garden hose from leaking. Not exactly sure what it's called, but it's strong, and will fill up nooks in the splines th...

If you don't want your car anymore, you'll probably get more by selling it, not parting it out. Are you thinking about getting rid of it because you think it's a money pit, or do you just want a new car? Most everything that you've already replaced are the more common things that seem to go wrong ar...
