Crupper

My 90 Loyale has a 4 sp auto and it will up shift to 3 rd and stay there, shift lever is in D and shows up on dash, but 3 rd also shows on dash. When I shift back to 3 rd or 2 nd it doesn't down shift. When trannie is cold it will act normal till it warms up and then it will down shift all on it's own and stay there. I pulled the pan and cleaned the screen. Couldn't find a filter. whatsup?

Is there a differance in the replacement of drive belts in a 89 Loyale and a 92 Loyale, both have carburators and AC units? the reason I ask is that I had both belts replaced in the 89 and now got a bid to replace both in the 92 and the price is about three times more for the 92. Thanks guys for any input.

OK. then this car's tire plate on the door post says 165 SR 13 and doesn't have a series. The the Goodyear tires on it are 185/ 80 R 13. Would that make it read more than 5%? I was driving my 90 sub at 55 MPH and the wife was following with this 92 and she was going 45 MPH. thanks for the comeback!

Just bought a 92 Loyale wagon AWD with a 3 sp auto and 185 tires and I see it came out with 165's and the speedo is 10 MPH off. Can you change gears in the trannie? The 185's are about new so didn't want to change back to 165's. Any suggestions?

OK thanks. Replaced the ECS (engine coolant sensor) and the blame thing still don't idle when warm. Runs great cold, till it drops to low idle and dies. I didn't replace the AAV, In Chiltons there isn't a picture of it, or how to test it, so don't know if it is OK or not. Or even if it might control the warm idle.Thanks for your help!

No, this THING is sitting on and is part of the thermostat housing. There is 2 numbers on it (1) 14467AA001 (2)A32-000 974 "JECS" Made in Japan. The radiator hose is attached to the housing. I took some digital photos but don't know how to post them.

Good advice! Found hose and found where to plug him in and got Turbo light,BUT she still no idle when warmed up. Must be the ECT, but where is it and what does it look like? Chilton's manual doesn't show anything like what is on top of this thermostat housing, It says to remove with suitable wrench and coat threads before installing. This I'm looking at has 4 phillips screws is square and on ohms check shows direct short at 100+º. Whatdoyouthink?

I forgot to say -- It's a MPFI motor w/turbo and auto tranie!!

My 90 1.8 w/turbo starts good cold and runs on fast idle til it drops off to regular idle and dies, it starts and runs above idle but the Turbo light doesn't come on when on a hard pull, now. When warm she no idle! Any ideas are wecome Thanks

My 89 Dl with spfi has a problem with the idle, when I'm stopped and the motor is up to temperature The idle speed goes up and down and doesn't stay steady. It doesn't have a Tach so can't tell how many R's it changes. Any help for it? Bob

Thanks, I'll stop looking.. I might try and hook a switch to the clutch relase lever.

I just bought a 89 DL wagon with a manual 5 speed. The blame thing will start (in gear) without the clutch pedel depressed. I looked in the Chilton book wiring diagarm and it shows no starter lock out switch, and it does show one on the automatic. Is this true? Am I looking in the wrong place? Help! The wife dern-near drove thru the garage door.

What a great group!! You guys did it again. Thats what is was!!! I put a hand vacuum on the can and the heater worked right, so traced out the line to it and it was hooked to a line that was connected to the air tube coming from the air cleaner. Tee'd into line at the intake manifold. Thanks a bunch

Had my hands on it the other day, but didn't take it off, I will take a closer look. Thanks

On my 90 Loyale I have lost the Cruse control and can't get anything but bi-level on the heater control, I've looked in the Chilton's manual but they don't show how either of them work, I don't know if it is a Vacuum or Electric problem. Anyone know how I might find this info, so I can trace it out?
