Heater Runs Hot At First Then Lukewarm?
mikaleda replied to roadsubiedog's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Sounds like a clogged heater core to me you can back flush your heater core by reversing your heater lines and running youre engIne than switch it back. When your done you probably want to flush your system to keep it from clogging up again -
I have never had a problem (not to say your wrong) I don't leave it connected for more than a second is why it doesn't hurt anything

Jack up the front of your car and n wiggle your tire up and down if there is significant movement i would say it is your ball joints. Also when you have your car off the ground you can feal if there is slop in your Ty rods just grab the ty rod ends and see if they have free movement up and down they shouldn't have any.

If you car has a flat gasket than that is what it needs to not leak. I have used ceareal boxes and cut them out for a gasket, it works well but you defiantly want to coat both sides of the cardboard with a generous amount of rtv silicone.

Personaly i don't think your problem is your fluid I have used both ATF and power stering fluid in many cars I have even mixed the two before. I have used power stering fluid in subies before. A pump is a pump it is still doing the same thing. The two fluids you don't want to mix in a car is brake fluid and atf or psf it causes a chemical reaction which will ruin all the rubber in your brake system. ATF and power steering fluid are basically the same thing.

In my opinion The easiest way to test the gauge is to connect the sending unit wire straight to a ground if it is good it will go all the way to full. You want to use a short piece of wire connected to the gauge and a know good ground for Best results

The reson I quit driving it was because no matter how fast the engine was running it would only charge at twelve volts. I have a neighbor with a parts cat that i can get parts off of I will just grab an alternator since I know I need one of those and I will also grab a voltage regulator at the same time. I will replace the alt first and if that doesn't fix my problem with the low voltage I will change the voltage regulator

I used my clutch pedal for a ground when testing the hvac fuse and I didnt see any cut wires but I wasnt looking carefully. As for the radio everything is working properly except for the memory it turns on and off with the key but it won't hold time presets or anything. I know the radio is good it worked when I took it out of my old car. I will double check and make sure my main power is not switched

Thank you that is th info I was looking for and yes I have wiring diagram and have double checked the wires they are all hooked up right, lol for once the colors all matched up. I will check for th fuse under the hood if that doesn't fix it then I will just run a new wire as you suggested. I will also check the soldered connections in the climate controll thank you for the help.
