Anything for a Renix 2.5?

My tabs were broken. I just used a bead of silicon around the perimeter of the light and stuck it to the panel. You can still remove it if needed by sliding a utility knife around the edge.

I replaced my manifold gasket and while the manifolds were off I stripped and painted the manifolds. I ground off the spot welds on the heat shield and found my exhaust manifold was cracked. Might want to check yours while you have it off

Post an add in the wanted section. I'm sure someone has a parts truck they could get one from.

I had new panels installed on my 87 Comanche and I think they were worse than yours.

Scroll back to the previous page. He has a picture there.

My 1980 Spirit AMX has a underhood light. I'll have to look at it and see if I can figure out what activates it.

I've also used a pair of Dzimms mirror brackets with no problems.

It does but it didn't explain the voltages that I should get like you did. It doesn't specify that 5v will be seen at the full range of movement of the throttle. I thought that measurement was what the ECM see's to varify the throttle position.

Thanks for the information. It's much clearer and makes more sense than the TBI manual.

Since that does vary the TPS should be good?

Ok but why doesn't it vary at all? It's 5v at closed throttle and open throttle no change from one or the other. How will the ECM know what position the throttle is?

1987 Comanche w/2.5L.

I have the TPS removed and testing it like that. Manually moving the lever.

According to the TBI manual the voltage reading at terminals B and C should be 5v at WOT. It doesn't say what it should read with the throttle closed but I assume less than 5v. My TPS doesn't vary at all always reads 5v no matter the position of the throttle. This is a new TPS because the previous one read the same as this one, no difference always 5v and I was advised it was bad. This doesn't sound right because how does the ECM know how far the throttle is open. Also checked between terminals A and B and read 4.85v at WOT. That does vary when the throttle is opened even if it's higher than the manual specifies max of 4.6-4.7v. What could be wrong?

The service manual calls for 55 ft lbs at the axle bracket and 35 ft lbs at the center link.

Mission accomplished.

What do they call it?

Thanks guys.

While I have the ps pump disconnected from my 87 Comanche w/2.5L for some other maintenance I want to repaint the pulley. I'm not exactly sure how to get it off. If I remember correctly I replaced the pump about 20 years ago and I wouldn't think it would have come with the pulley. The TSM lists a part number for a puller and a installer tool. Anybody know what they look like if that is what is needed to remove the pulley?

They want 7000 CAD for that? Is that console factory?

Thanks. I just did.

That is the only gasket that comes up at either NAPA or RA.

I planned on replacing my intake gasket on my 1987 Comanche w/2.5L engine. The first one I purchased has a foil surface on both sides. When I removed the manifolds I found a crack about 2/3's of the way around the exhaust manifold. I purchased a new replacement which came with a new combo manifold gasket. One side has the foil surface and the other side has a typical paper look. Which one is better if there is any difference and which surface goes toward the head?

How would i go about having that done?
