    High Racing Idle

    The car was not showing a check engine light. I reset the idle and cleaned the IAB and restarted the car and the same problem. The IAB was very clean, just like the engine was at the service. The intake gaskets were replaced at the 60K, and like I mentioned it has run great for 2 months. After...

    High Racing Idle

    Out of nowhere at a stop light, the sho raced between 2 and 3k at idle in neutral and stayed there. It hasn't come down. Car was running perfectly since a 60k a couple of months ago. Any ideas? I don't know how to pull the codes, but I can try to reset idle. It is not really drivable like...

    60k Answer needed

    I know there is no way to be sure you won't have problems but at this time my car is in great condition and runs like a champ. The only thing it needs is the scheduled 60K service. What is the Shotgun approach you are referring to? Are you guys saying that parts of the 60K, like valve lash...

    60k Answer needed

    Thanks Doug: I just got the impression from your post and the replies that I was some idiot. I just want the car to be in a state of no worries for another 60k. The parts online were reasonable so I bought them all; I don't know enough to say which items are needed and which are not. If I...

    60k Answer needed

    Doug: this is an interesting post. I guess I am the guy you are referring to here, but clearly you have missed a couple of things. The car I bought at 58K has never had any 60k service, only a failed CPS replaced. Why would anyone do a 60K 17K after it was done? I posted earlier looking for...

    Good Wax???

    I have used all the meguiar's products, but I have found that One Grand Blitz Wax is the best. It goes on and comes off easily and lasts a long time. I don't know if it will work but I inserted a link to a great site - carcareonline.com. Besides all the products they have excellent how-to...

    T Hex adjustor tool - valve adjustment - is it a required tool?

    Thanks for the replies. I called OTC about the pick set and nobody could locate. Anybody have a part number for that? Is the T Hex adjustor also a OTC tool?

    T Hex adjustor tool - valve adjustment - is it a required tool?

    The SHOShop lists four tools needed for the valve lash, but the Shotimes website lists the source for two: tappet depressor and tappet holder, both from OTC. I called and both are available for a combined total of about $35. My question is about the other two tools listed on the SHOShop...

    New Jersey - SHO Mechanic Recommendation

    Not so upbeat on the brunswick auto pros that are listed above and on the mechanics hall of fame. Like I said, I took my wife's honda there because I wanted to try them before I sent the SHO. She had a leaking trans line. Replaced $140+. I got a $90 charge for engine computer diagnosis...

    Fan won't shut off after engine turned off

    This morning, I reconnected the battery, and the fan went on. I slammed the hood in disgust and off went the fan. Strange, but at least it is resolved for now. Thanks for all the replies.

    Fan won't shut off after engine turned off

    Where is it, what is it (CCRM), how much is it, can I get it in a normal parts store, and can I replace myself? Thanks for the replies. Dan

    Fan won't shut off after engine turned off

    Anything that I can do to fix without having to take it into the shop - as in tonight, besides disconnecting the battery? I have to drive it to work in the morning. I guess I'll be bringing a wrench.

    Fan won't shut off after engine turned off

    91 sho - it's 20 degrees out, but tonight the fan won't shut off. Temperature in low range of normal. I'll have to disconnect battery to shut it off or I won't have any battery left. Stayed on for 45 minutes after work. I just took it out again and it still is running now after my return...

    New Jersey - SHO Mechanic Recommendation

    Doug: I live in Princeton, NJ. I have a 91 SHO with 75K. I am certain that the original owner never did the 60K service, because he knew nothing about it. The car is in great condition but I guess it needs the whole procedure - belt, pump, Crank Sensor, Valve Lash, etc. I have considered...

    New Jersey - SHO Mechanic Recommendation

    I am looking to have the 60K service on my 91. My regular mechanic's, and others I have called, are either unfamiliar with the motor or won't touch this project. Can anyone recommend someone with knowledge of is service (including the valve adj.)? I have checked the mechanic's hall of fame on...
