Re: Post a pic of your truck taken today A bit less snow and light than there in the deep south, but more cold: -22°F. Actually too cold to take decent pictures. Drove 16 miles to work and back today.

Re: IC pump hot wired in low temperatures - problem? Didn't mean to, sorry if you felt that way. Maybe it's because English is not my native language and it's a bit hard to find the right words. No need to remove your posts, though. Now it looks like I'm arguing with myself ;-)

Re: IC pump hot wired in low temperatures - problem? That's what I meant too. I've never come up with a electronically fuel injected petrol engine that wouldn't start and operate in -20°F (if, like I said, maintained properly and equipped with good battery and winter oil). So Ty would be the...

Re: IC pump hot wired in low temperatures - problem? Thanks for your thoughts Dave. I have a Webasto heater, so the starting won't be a problem - and even if it didn't I'm pretty confident it would start with low enough viscosity oil and fresh battery. Not that I'd want to cold start it. And...

Re: IC pump hot wired in low temperatures - problem? Ok thanks. I guess I'll keep it wired through the winter.

I've hot wired the IC pump in my otherwise bone stock Ty. Forecast says we'll have -17°F the next week and I'll be driving the Ty to work. May this be a problem due to too low intake temperature, should I remove the hot wire? I've read somewhere that too cold intake air may cause the throttle to...

Re: Temperature guage not workin OK, no worries then, thanks. It says "100" in the bottom and "260" on the top so I thought the quarters of the scale would be 40° each. Guess not.

Re: Temperature guage not workin Replaced the sender with this one: http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.php?pk=87358&cc=1164451&jnid=450&jpid=8 The gauge started working, but won't go higher than 130°F in normal running conditions. Already changed the thermostat to new one (180°F), but no...

Re: What did you do to your SyTy today? (part 2) Changed the coolant temp sensor (piece of cake) and driver door inner handle return spring (what a pain in the butt). Found out the root causes for inoperative rear defog: rusty rear window pumps, and driver door rear view mirror left movement...

Re: Center cap o-ring What are the o-rings for? Noise dampening, dust or what? Some of my caps have them, some don't and I haven't noticed any remarkable difference.

Re: Temperature guage not workin Thank you Don! Not only for the part #, but great link also!

Re: Temperature guage not workin Old thread, but I need to replace mine. I'm planning to order one from Rockauto. How can I tell if I'm buying a temp gauge sender, not ECM temp sensor? Part n:o or something? Thanks!

Re: new to SYTY Yes, dead serious.:tup:

Re: No air from dash vents OK, thanks. I now noticed, I already took a look at that thread, but didn't realize that this would be the case. Need to build up some motivation first...

I don't get any air from dash vents in any air distribution selection lever position. Otherwise works fine. I've already checked the vacuum system and it seems to work as it should. The shop manual lists the following actuators: - Outside air door - Heater/defrost door - Recirc door - Panel...

The headline pretty much says it all. I have two sets of stock wheels. Otherwise decent, but both painted gray afterwards. I'm planning to restore at least one set to the original look. A few questions: 1. How would you recommend to remove the paint? Nitromorse, soda blasting or what? 2. Is the...

Re: Typhoon:things that aren't factory stock I had it on mine (now it's gone): https://picasaweb.google.com/115389967742007861902/ExWheels#5183588315228097074

Re: Typhoon:things that aren't factory stock I've always thought that the rear window wing is stock? You can carry on pretty endlessly: Corvette wheels, bigger turbo, fuzzy dices, a2a intercooler, lowering blocks....

Re: Engine and Trans sitting for about 6 years.... If it's been stored in good conditions, I personally wouldn't do anything but change the oils and filters and prime the oil pressure prior to starting (cranking w/o spark plugs). But you do it your way. Of course it's now easy to change the...

Re: '93 Typhoon #1266 from Estonia. I saw those pics already on Finnish car-holic forum "Overdrive". It's the first SyTy I remember seeing in any car event outside US, even in pictures. Looks great! Maybe I'll bring mine over there next year? And come back with the trunk full off booze of...
