Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
two questions:
1. when switching over to r-134a why do you need to replace the expansion valve?
2. is the expansion valve removable w/out removing the dash?
3. i lied. is 134-a going to suck compared to r12. i.e. Will I be better off finding the R-12 I need vs. retrofitting it.

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
i drove my car today and under hard acceleration (sp) it started stuttering...did this before and i opened the distributor cap and the rotor button screw was off...well again today too off fast and it did the same thing...turned out that my spark plug wires were coming out...just happen to see it from the side b/c my spark plug cover was on...what would cause that to happen?

It's no big deal, really. You gave me a great price. I just hope everything bolts up so I can hear myself think again.

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
Yep, cheapo aftermarket wires always pop off. Most of the time they come off at the dist. cap end and you have to zip tie them on but ive seen them not fit snug at the spark plugs too.
Vega, your trans issue could be a host of things ranging from internal issues to linkage and or motor mount problems. Who knows.
