Bump

Best offer. Need gone ASAP http://fayetteville.craigslist.org/cto/3296270794.html

I used to install audio professionally and mostly agree with above posts. Caps (capacitors) are mainly for big systems i.e. at least 1000w RMS (note I said RMS, now max) with a 4 ch. powering doors as well. An upgraded battery would likely solve your issues. Optimas are pretty stout, I've found...

LD, all I was doing was tightening them man. They were leaking and reached in, sure enough, I could unscrew then by hand. Just went through and tightened them. That's all

Pit, the two ^^ meant two comments up, the one above yours. Sorry for the confusion

Yeah man, the zerks arent screwed in tight

^^ not even remotely true. Some are a pain but neither plenums were removed. My intake tube was off, that was it

And boy what a difference. Did plugs and wire, new filter, oil, seafomed, cleaned the gunk from the throttle body, and greased the zerk fittings as well as changing the tranny fluid. Started with plugs, and after pulling the intake tube, I was flabbergasted by how gross my throttle body was. I...

When I installed at best buy clips would break all the time. We try hard not to, but when you get vehicles that are 10+ years old, that's a lot of summers where heat has dried plastic to the bone. I've had dashes from cars in the early 90's literally CRUMBLE I'm my hands. We try to work out a...
