Leaky oil cooler lines
My ’87 TR has an aftermarket B&M oil cooler. The hose ends that attach to the oil filter adapter don’t match the stock hose ends and they leak. I can’t replace the hoses with stock hoses, as the aftermarket unit mounts in front of the radiator so the stock hoses are too short. Is there anywhere...- kjhansen

Replaced A/C compressor, now car won't start
That's what it was. When I called him this morning he'd already figured it out and had the car running. Thanks for your input!- kjhansen

Replaced A/C compressor, now car won't start
The subject line about covers it, but here's the backstory. The clutch on the A/C compressor locked up. I disconnected the pressure switch so i wouldn't accidently turn the A/C on while driving (not that I would, but just to be careful) and drove the car fine for a couple of weeks (good...- kjhansen

ECM connections corroded/broken
I ordered a reman unit. Get it tomorrow. We'll see how that works out. I figured if it was so rusty that it was steel and copper corroding that I was better off just replacing the thing. Oh, and in answer to BlackBandit, I'm located in Missouri.- kjhansen

ECM connections corroded/broken
Car: 1986 Turbo Regal. The 16 pin male connector (the longer of the two) in the ECM is badly corroded and pin #16 (upper left) is actually rusted through, broken off (see picture), and stuck in the wiring harness hole for pin #16. The question is, if I take the cover off the computer, can I...- kjhansen

Turbo Buick on a car lot in Muskogee, OK
Hey, anybody from Muskogee, OK out there? I was driving through on the way home to Missouri and spotted a TR of some kind (Grand National maybe, year unknown) on a car lot. Right as I came into town from the south on Highway 69, right side of the road. Anybody know anything about the car...- kjhansen

Win ALDL and USB
OK, I've used WIN ALDL on my '87 TR back when I had it, and it worked well for what it is (free). I had TurboLink, which worked better, but I don't have Turbolink any more as I sold it with my car--and I gave away my WIN ALDL cable. But I still have the instructions and leftover parts, so I made...- kjhansen

Hi
Hey Matt, this is your Dad... (Just an FYI for anyone reading this, Matt grew up watching me wrench on my '87 TR and take it from a 14 second stocker to 12.3 (quickest) and 114mph (fastest). Should of been able to run high 11's but I could never find enough traction. I sold the car over a...- kjhansen

Delay going into reverse
What does it mean when the transmission doesn't go into reverse when you initially put the shifter in reverse? If you just leave it there (in reverse) it suddenly engages after a time (up to about 45 seconds or so max) and moves just fine--no apparent slippage or anything. In drive it engages...- kjhansen

Intermittent trans failure?!
Howdy! I had a new trans put in my 1994 Bonneville SSEi. It worked fine for about a week, then, after driving it about 20 miles it started slipping so bad it wouldn't move--actually felt like it was in neutral. After cooling down it engaged fine for two laps around a small parking lot and then...- kjhansen

WOT TCC lock up problems
quote: "Locking it at the starting line is totally counter productive, ESPECIALLY with a single disc unit that cant possibly stand up to that kind of abuse." end quote Dave, while the TCC works well in 3rd gear the way you suggest, I don't get the addded oomph through second gear.
