    Engine racing when hitting the brakes.

    Yeah, I noticed movement of the throttle cable when watching it thru the windshield under the hood (hood up of course) I will find out tomorrow if that has anything to do with it. Budwich; it does return to 'idle' after I return from never never land and all seems normal. Thanks for...

    Engine racing when hitting the brakes.

    Yeah, I've done it that way also. If it wasn't for the 2 time, I would've just felt stoopid and let it go. I've been all through the "shift/accelerate" program and can't find anything wrong. I carry a .45 so if it happens again, I will fix it. Thanks guys:D

A couple of minutes later, I was trying to leave...

    Help re Hood Replacement - White 97 EB

    Hey Bob Thanks for the response. That's about my best guess. I need to paint mine and am thinking that it would be easier overall to just take it off and spray it. Thanks again, GeorgeR

    Need some help here, '96XLT with premium sound system

    Hey Chad`` If I can impose on your good nature one more time, I can't seem to get the hang of setting the clock. I've tried it according to the oem but can't seem to bring up the clock set feature. Any idea? BTW the receiver and cd player works great. Thanks

    Need some help here, '96XLT with premium sound system

    I got the kit (new connectors) on ebay. Are saying that I should hook up the remote turn-on wire to the solid blue wire on the receiver? The blue/white wire from the receiver connector has a flag on it indicating that it is for the remote to the amplifier, equalizer and/or power antenna. I...

    WTF??? My odometer just quit!

    Odometer has a chintzy worm gear that turns the no. wheels. Costs about 25 bucks. It's relatively easy to change out after you get the cluster out. Just take it easy and don't break any of the plastic parts. I will try to find out where I bought the last one and post it tomorrowt Two things...

    '96 xlt 4dr 2WD V/8 brake rotors

    Does anyone know for sure if the rear rotors are the same size as the front? I know that the front rotors are supposed to have the hub built into the rotor. What I don't know at this point is whether the rear rotors fit over the lugs and whether they are the same size as the front with the...

    How do i set the Cam Sensor on a 96? HELP!

    Do a search on this forum. There is a lot of info available. Basically you need an install tool which fits on the top of the sensor and has an arrow pointing forward when the sensor is oriented properly.

    96 xlt 5.0 end links

    Well, I think I've looked nearly everywhere, but I can't find any specific info on front torsion bar end links. I know they exist 'cause I have new ones to install and can see the old ones. Specifically, how tight should they be? Torque? (This is a 2wd)
