Don't run the car with a quart and a half missing from the engine.
- S

Thank you Sommerfeldt . The car is sitting. After all the time it has taken to get this far.. I am not going to ruin it. I ran it a few minutes and didn't rev it. Oil light was off. Feeling good about it. Tomorrow I will be ...

BINGO.... I noticed a ground close under the coil and cleaned it and it fired up. ABS light is on. Was off at first and came on. But all else is good. Sounds nice to hear it go. Very smooth. I can't drive it though. Valve cover sounds noisy and I am low on oil. The 5 qt container was not enough I ...

I disconnected that relay and the tachometer stayed down at zero. The coil wire was also silent and when I hook up the relay with key on, the coil wire is making a continuous stream and the tachometer is up but not as far. I did notice that all 4 relay wires were bare where they bent around the ...

The 2 grounding wires on top of the engine are good. I am wondering if I should try to reach the 2 grounds on the side in the starter area. Maybe I should have cleaned them before bolting down? The coil wire is strange in that, it is a continuous spark... not strikes as the car cranks. I will see ...

Thank you Lee. uhhh... I spent so much time getting that part of the fan shroud back in position on top of the intercooler and now have to pull it back out to check that relay! lol... Is there an easy way to get that unit out and back in without forcing it? I am speaking of the plastc unit that has ...

The spark from the coil should be blue, but it is yellow orange and continuous... This must be a tell tale sign? The spark discharge does not change when unplugging the cam sensor

There are 3 electronic items on top of the aftercooler. The center relay has the chatter. I have not been able to see what it is. The rotor cap was almost new when I took the engine out. It ran fine except for the bad exhaust valve in one cyl. I been jiggling connectors and looking and looking for ...

After too long of a 3 year rebuild, I have the engine back in the 850 wagon and everything hooked up and ready to go. Turning the ignition key to the on position has the tachometer going up and hovering at 1700rpm, but the engine is not running. I have gas to the injectors. There is a pale green ...

No... you just pop off the clips, remove the glass and put new glass on and re-install clips. On a 850 you have to pop out the lower plastic trim piece... not sure on yours

I got a new after market glass lens for a 1995 850 from ebay and then quickly resold it on ebay a few weeks later. The problem was, that this was a drivers side lense, but there was a harsh beam of light coming out going straight in to on coming drivers eyes. No... the light did not need to be re ...
