Re: Walbro 255 install

Interesting. I thought this would be a common thing, though maybe not as much as on the 92-99's due to age and increased need for a new fuel pump.

Intense has instructions on modifying the pump for a W-body, but that obviously didn't apply. Plus I think that was the 340 Walbro anyway. No ...

Walbro 255 install

Hello old friends. Has anyone installed this Walbro specifically in their 2000+? I've searched too long and figure it's time to make a post.

I'm changing it Friday and was curious if there is anything I should be especially concerned about. The procedure seems pretty straight forward but I noticed ...

Re: Ownership duration?

I bought mine 3 years and 9 months ago with 108,000. 73,000 miles later I'm at 181,000 - looking and running even better.

Re: Fuel lock not working...and now some other things!

So I go to get my car tested for emissions, and realize it won't test since the OBD plug was not working. I spend 2 minutes and find an ALDL fuse. Why I didn't see this before, I don't know.

I replaced the ALDL fuse, car passes emissions.

The ALDL fuse also fixed the homelink and the trunk lock ...

Re: Fuel lock not working...and now some other things!

It's definitely not my battery. In trying to remove the relay for the fuel door lock I probably blew some fuses or relays somehow when I inadvertently touched some metal and saw a couple tiny sparks. That's my guess.

Fuel lock not working...and now some other things!

So I put a new fuel door on since mine didn't come with a locking tab. Come to find out my lock isn't actually working so the fuel door is useless for now.

I located the relay and figured I'd see if it was ok, it looked ok but I don't have any clue how or have the ability to test it.

This morning ...

I cleared mine by cutting. I didn't know of any other way...especially for the center piece.

Thanks for the compliments! As today is even nicer out I will probably be taking out the tripod for some "part 2" pictures later. :)

My lame almost Spring photoshoot

It was gorgeous out today so I finally cleaned the car for a shoot. Took a lot of shots but these were the only semi-post-worthy.

Even with low miles a 15-year-old car is not worth $5000 IMO.

Re: What should I offer?

$11,800 honestly doesn't sound too bad to ME. It couldn't hurt offering $1000 or so less though. With only 40,000 that's practically a brand new car in my eyes. I highly doubt they'll get rid of that for $9000. But I'm not a seasoned negotiator either.


Interesting fact, suprisingly my '03 with 135 ...

Re: New Transmission Video

Yep, I didn't know you had a K&N drop-in. That's why there's no whine (beating a dead horse). No matter what size pulley you have, an FWI or CAI would create a lot of whine. I'm running my frisbee still. :wink:

I think tint will look great on the color. I'm probably going to do 50% on mine, I don't want it too dark.

I'm not a fan of black wheels but to each his own!

I bet you love that new trans. Since I've had mine rebuilt with the shift kit the car feels incredible and quicker than it has ever been.

Re: Insurance

Well, I have to have both per CT law...especially since it's financed. But I'd have both anyway since it's a newer car. It has worked out well since that tree limb fell on it.

If I had my 94 still I wouldn't keep collision...though an accident can happen any time, I drive pretty safe and would ...

I suppose that is possible, though if it happened to someone they would have the worst luck ever, as the odds are slim that they hit it. :lol: The bottom of the trans pan is higher that the subframe, which makes me feel better. However, though draining it through a plug is easy, sucking it out of ...
