87 GL water pump question
somick replied to OregonYeti's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
On my 92 Loyale the water pump is driven by the timing belt. One of the possible leaks is a rubber elbow. You can get access to it if you remove the AC compressor. Good luck, Sam -
Very rough idle

Since both 2 and 4 cylinders are affected it points out to a bad coil. Try to compare the spark with the cylinders 1 and 3. Good luck, Sam -
1992 loyale won't start after warmed up

Mine was doing the same thing. It was a poor contact on the alternator control wire. Try to wiggle it and attempt to start it again. Good luck, Sam -
She asked you about the shops that can do the brakes and not about the procedures. Leitah. Any shop can do it. Make sure you see the pads and rotors yourself since all shops will be happy to charge you for replacing parts, even if there is no need to do it. Good luck, Sam

92 Loyale window lift motor
somick replied to capmarvelous's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I have no idea what grease to use. I have used a brake grease I had sitting on my shelf for years. Two years down the road the windows still work fine. Good luck, Sam -

Remove the panel and lube all tracks and gears. Should help. Sam -
Crazy brake adjusting thing

Roach auto catalog is very inaccurate. You may get stock with the wrong parts and they will charge you for return shipping. Sam -
I would try as long as you have it. Try to ask this question at "New Generation..." section. You will get more answers there. Good luck, Sam

Hate them! Stick you with wrong parts and charge you to return them.

The one I bought from roach auto came without a radiator cap. The cap from the old radiator did not fit and I had to look for a new cap in the automotive stores for a new one. Took me awhile to find the new cap because you need to match not only the physical dimensions but also the correct pressure. There is a reason why roach auto's radiators are not expensive. Plus their data base is very inaccurate. So buying from them is hit or miss. They will also charge you for return shipping. Good luck, Sam

I have two fans on my 92 Loyale. If you have the same set up the passenger side fan suppose to come on when you use AC. Sam

Are they both automatic or manual. The computers for auto or manual might be different. Good luck, Sam

Roach Auto database is very inaccurate. They will send you a wrong part and you will pay for the return shipment. We have plenty of threads here about new/replacement fuel pumps. I believe Ford's pump will fit. Try to search. Good luck, Sam

I have been experimenting with my 2010 Forester a lot and I came up to an ideal driving conditions (at least for my car). The highest speed on the highway must be 65 mph. This is critical to get a good mpg. I get 30+ miles per gallon using this tactic even with my wife in the passenger seat (more wait). The highest fuel consumption is in a stop-and-go traffic. 20 miles per gallon is sometimes considered to be a very good number. Sam
