Maintenance day in MD - 12 December 2009

[QB93Z]

It looks like the weather will be sunny on Saturday the 12th, so I am planning another Maintenence Day at my garage in Westminster, MD.

Will change oil for beer!!! :dancing

Everyone is invited. Even if you don't bring your Z to work on, come on by and hang out.

Fun starts at about 9:00AM and goes until the jobs are done.

Note: I will NOT be repalcing the 1990's transmission this weekend because I am still waiting for a part (bell housing front cover, anybody got one?)

Call me or post here if you need directions.

Shoot! I wish I had my shock bushings!
My shocks are here though...
I need to replace my upper "A" arm on passenger side too.

[QB93Z]

No problem! I can set up again for the 19/20 weekend. :thumbsup:

On the 12th we'll do some oil changes and maybe try to fix the INFL REST light on my 1990.

Jim, I'm out of town until next weekend.

If the weather is nice for the 19th and 20th, count me in. I want to exchange beer for Amsoil. I might need to drive the beer up in my truck the night before. I'm not sure I can fit 6-7 cases of beer in the Z.

Jim,
I'll take a drive up your way, test out my new 4.10 gears :mrgreen:. I may bring supplies for an oil change. I don't have all my clutch parts yet, will have to be Jan/Feb if that will work for you.

Was this on the '90? If so, it's fairly easy to determine which sensor with a paper clip, then clean the sensor up.

How'd the maint. day go? Also, I don't know what you guys consider nice weather! If the temp starts with a 4 or less, that's not a nice day! :cheers:

[QB93Z]

Thanks for the tip.

We didn't get to the INFL REST job. We got side tracked trying to figure why the Theft Deterrent alarm goes off on my 1994 ZR-1 when I open the door with the key from the driver's side.

It was a beautiful day. With the propane heater running, I got the garage up to a balmy 58. :dancing

Great day Jim!!!!


Thanks for hosting and thanks for your help with my "alarm" issues.

:mrgreen: that green smiley face is "green with envy" of a work area that is 58* during the late fall/winter! :dancing

That's t-shirt & shorts temps! I'll bet that your kidneys don't even get cold if you have to lay on the floor under the car. :razz:

You guys are "hooked up & cookin' with gas!":thumbsup:

[QB93Z]

... I'll bet that your kidneys don't even get cold if you have to lay on the floor under the car. ...

Lay on the floor???[-X That's what lifts are for. The only reason I will be lying on the floor is to look under the tool box when I drop the beer bottle opener.

Great Maintenance day Jim, it was great hanging out with you and David. Yun, you missed a good day. That's the way to do an oil change, on a lift. My next one will be on my lift :thumbsup: Here's the photos from our lunch run Enjoy!

Rich,

Let me know when you are fixing the water pump and I'll try to come out!

Great seeing you again

cheers

Great looking pics to see, especially for us stuck in -32ºC/-26ºF today...:cool:.

:redface: That's what jack stands do for you, your water bottle and your kidneys get nicely chilled on the concrete. Although, the moving blanket does do a fair job at insulating...as long as you stay on it! :mrgreen:

Here is an inside pic of Rich's nice looking Bright Red 1990 ZR-1 after the oil change:

Jim, their is a switch on the back side of the lock cyl that is more than likely broken.

If you can not reach the door handle bolts drop the door latch to acess the bolts

Thanks, that is good info. I guess the switch tells the Theft Deterrent System that the locks are open because the key was used. Is that the way it works?

Jim,

Let me know when you decide to tackle the INFL REST issue. Mine is doing the same thing.

Steve:dontknow:

[QB93Z]

Can do!

Maybe we should assemble two crack maintenance teams and see who can fix the problem first. A side-by-side maintenance race for a case of beer. :cheers:

What do you think?

Jim

[tomtom72]

Just a fwiw on the INFLREST code clearing. The hardest part of the job for me was clearing the code once the grounding issues at the sensors were resolved. I don't have a Tech1A, and my snap-on scanner will not clear that code because I don't have that cartridge with the SIR software.

I made a momentary switch from a door bell and used phone wire so I could plug the leads into the ALDL. I was having trouble with the FSM's listed time duration when you ground and then unground the ALDL pins. There seems to me to have been very little wiggle room and I never got it correct. That's why I made the door bell switch and used a watch to count off the seconds. Got it the first time which was sweet considering I tried like 20 times using the "one- one- thousand, two- one thousand" method with no joy.

:cheers:
