Check your alternator wire? Maybe even test the alternator? Is it only when the heat is on, or when the A/C is one as well?
Also, millage, fill up tank, zero out trip meter, drive drive drive, fill up and divide trip meter by how much gas you put in, and that's your millage.
Don't top it off and reset the trip meter everytime you fill up, that way every fillup you get to see the MPG

We I installed the oil pressure sender the other day. The only thing I have to do is hook up the wires from the sender to the gauge but before I do that I need to get the bracket for the radio relocation.



Does anyone have a different location for their oil pressure sender? That is the only place I could really find to put it in without the line hitting the axle.

I'm not very good at reading spark plugs so if someone could try to tell me what is going on with them, I would appreciate that. The spark plugs are in order from left to right if you were facing the engine.
From where Im sitting they look perfectly fine as far as condition. If it was running lean they would all be a lighter color and if rich then they would look darker than that.

sweet thanks. I'm having an issue with knock in the 70 ld btn 3k and 3.5k that just started happening so I thought it was the spark plugs. Its only like 2 counts of knock but still knock.
What do you have them gapped at? I had mine months ago about. 40 and got misfires under high load read the latest stuff from 03L's pages brought it down to 20...perfect.
Most of the time in the evo rom I'd simply ignore that area out since it would occur for me even with 120 octane fuel haha! It seems that its just a sensitive area probably induced by some vibration in the motor. As you bolt things to the car you change the engines harmonic point and as the engine gets older it will just make more noise from looser parts.



Its on the back part near the axle and still has a little room.
