If the gas gauge was still working, I wonder if you'd be willing to remove the fuel transfer pump on the driver's side of the fuel tank. The easiest way would be to cut a hole in the floor under the seat bottom symmetrically to the hole for the electric pump on the passenger side and loosening three ...

Parts still available?

Thanks!

Not only is sticking with OEM a great idea but so is staying away from DO 88 radiators. Two years and 12,000 miles later my DO 88 leaks at both ends between the core and the end tanks. I know of two others who have had leaks, one of whom had a leak lead to a catastrophic leak and blown head gasket ...

With the engine idling after dark and blocking as much light as possible, check the coil for mild arcing. If you see blue electricity, a new coil should solve your problem.

The one time my 850 wouldn't start was because of a no spark condition. Long story short I found a 20 gauge multi strand wire with cracked insulation hiding disintegrated copper inside. After I replaced the bad copper wire the car started right up. If all of the above suggestions turn out good, I'd ...

The biggest concern here is that all four tires be within 3/32's of an inch in tread depth as Scot850 alluded to.

The new odometer gear ...

The engine runs fine and the transmission shifts flawlessly. The flashing yellow arrow which I have never seen before is gone and its appearance makes no sense to me, but I have read about it in other MVS posts about 850's that won't start. Hopefully checking this orange wire will help someone out ...

misha wins the prize! Once the wire was reconnected the engine fired right up and is running perfectly.

I used a dremel tool on the plastic block of the wiring harness so I could pull the female snap terminal and its hood out, I pulled the terminal out of the hood, stripped the red plastic off a ...

This has been the strangest turn of events I've experienced with this car: Early last summer while idling in park one time the engine started randomly revving--but only this one time. This fall after sitting parked for a month, the engine cranked but would not start for the first time ever (132,000 ...
