Y-pipe & O2 Sensors

I had a new Y-Pipe put in, sensors were OK . . BUT soon after the pipe went in, the Engine Light came ON and all the symptoms of bad sensors appeared. Do yourself a favor and spring for the sensors while you're doing the pipe, save the aggravation and money of doing 'em later. They should be...

Cranks, but won't start.

The codes and symptoms don't sound like the CCRM.

Cranks, but won't start.

No such thing as a dumb question. The Constant Control Relay Module (CCRM) interfaces with the Power Control Module (PCM) to provide control of the cooling fan, A/C Clutch and fuel pump. The module also includes the electronic engine control (EEC) relay to power the PCM. It is sometimes called...

Cranks, but won't start.

Cranks, but won't start. And I'm getting a big-time buzzing from CCRM. The fuel pump does get in, but for five days it won't start, then suddenly it starts. It's running fine, but the instant I drop the hood - bam it cuts out! And won't start again. I'm thinking loose connection somewhere, but...

60k Maintenance Details

60k Maintenance Details

I am very unclear about the so-called 60K Maintenance regime. Why? I have the Service Manual for my 1995 ATX SHO, and it details no such regime. Moreover, I have read, for example, the 95 ATX does NOT require a Timing Belt change at 60K, but rather only at 120K. Where does this 60K come from...
