I had recently bought a 93 didnt shake but it sure did backfire after getting off the gas near 3k rpm range i ended up having optispark symptoms so i changed it out (MSD OPTI) and no more backfiring, but it shakes a bit at idle, the previous owner did tell me that there is an aftermarket cam in it explains the slight chop to the exhaust

Only one place to test this: on the race track! Woo-hoo! Aloha!

The condenser looked old and crusty. It should have been changed with the ignition module. A weak or bad condenser can burn up your new module.

They're banning 134a, so you'll be doing this again with some other refrigerant soon.

I’m putting c4 seats in my 3rd gen both power track so I’ll have to make my own risers

gonna get a exhaust cutter for myself now, way handier that a power tool

I'm trying to do the same repair to my door panel that broke apart. I didn't know fiberglass stuck to vinyl that well. What kind of fiberglass kit did you use for it?

What website did you order your window regulator from?

Can you do a video on the driver side please a full tutorial would be awesome. I am so lost on my regulator right now.

That's quite a drastic change in sound levels. I could definitely hear when to shift gears with all that sound "telling" me what to do. Wouldn't have to read the tachometer all the time. Exhaust technology is very interesting. I've heard one could use the frequency of the exhaust pulses in a certain rev range and exploit their accompanying scavenging effects among the cylinders to calculate WHERE to install an H- or X-pipe. Mind you...that is IF you have the freedom to put such devices anywhere you like underneath the car. AS you know better than I, there are clearance issues involved. I'm fascinated how companies and individuals time the pulses and scavenging effects to get the sound effects they want over a specified area of the power curve. It's easy to see why so many people spend lots of money and time on it. I'm not sure...but maybe somewhere you have already captured some video of your tachometer and its readings when you're racing on the track. Maybe you can concentrate your attention on the rev range you use in racing and use that to help you calculate where want to put any exhaust devices in the machine. From your enthusiasm, I'd say you'll enjoy learning how to weld your exhaust. I've watched you become an expert at A/C maintenance, and I'm confident you would do well as a welder whenever you want to try mastering that discipline. In the meantime...enjoy racing! Aloha!

Bro mine doesnt rev fine From the moment it starts i get an intermittent misfire and it gets worse the warmer the car gets. It does it the most under load or at idle. Sometimes it clears up at speed

Good video man! Where can i buy the conversion kit for my 1986 c10?

My Mazda 3 06 hatchback has the same issue, when I go to turn on the car everything is on but it just won’t start and the days it do start is on rainy or cold days but if it’s really hot my car completely doesn’t wanna turn on, so I’m thinking of buying a new starter after watching this video

Might as well replace that failing oil pressure sensor too😂

Hey, make sure you leave out all the critical details on changing the rear brakes of a Grand Am. Great job!

A battery that consistently spins the starter over at a high rate is doing it's job, and is not defective. I have read the instructions for a later, alternator and it says to idle the engine till warm, then hold throttle at 2000 rpm for a few seconds, when it will be charging. This has in some cases replaced earlier methods of activation, and like ordinary driving.

You bonded the edge at the door glass contact area. That’s wrong. It’s designed to seal with the 4 screws. Now you can’t adjust that portion of weather stripping to fit to the glass.

I'm going to start with the passenger side then. Thanks 👍🏽

Curious? What are the torque specs and fastening sequence of the 8 bolts?

Do you have link for spring tool

I had the same issues with my 85 k10 I had replaced the old altenator with a new one then went thrue a series of batteries until I got to the point and pulled said new altenator and had it checked and it was bad bought a new one with warranty and solved the problem that was in February it's June now and problem is back I know this cause radio stops working and for some reason my seat belt buzzer starts to work..ihavnt figured out that yet..but I know when I hear that buzzer take truck home quick..I'm pulling altenator after work and taking to O'Reilly auto store ..wish me luck

Congratulations on your successful completion of your first Power Tour! You did everything right! So many other participants I've seen in videos over the years have NOT had as cool and comfy of an experience as you two did! Simply marvelous. As a curmudgeonly old man, I say that you did the exhaust system correctly. I found the sound INSIDE your cabin to be well-controlled and nice. Any louder, and you two would have frayed your nerves...and your ears would not have been very pleased, either. It's not my vehicle...but at my age, I'd make the same trade-offs YOU DID. You gained hours of relaxed comfort on the road that outweighed a few seconds of loud, ear-melting fury for an audience outside the vehicle. I hope you two are nice and rested up and recovered from your adventures. Aloha 'til next time!

Do you mention min height or clearance under the car to install the headers?

All your efforts are so far paying off! What a drive! You two collect these memories like "seashells on the shores of the vast ocean of time." What treasures! Aloha and safe travels home!

Looks like fun man

This is what all that maintenance was for! To create odysseys like this one! That Corvette museum would also be the first attraction for me, too. I hope you've enjoyed EVERYTHING about your trip so far! Aloha!

The site is down :( should I just do a zig zag sequence?

Good video man. Attempting this on a 86 Camaro

Dude thanks so much you saved me money i appreciate you. i got a 99 saturn and the same thing with mine

How much did you spend on repairs ?

Nice job! As a bicyclist, I could probably see you making "all clear" gestures to me. Around here, we've got the Hawai'i Safety Check...butthey're not doing their job. The tints here are nearing 5% ALL around, and the safety check people are allowing folks to tint their front windscreens. I can't see what the driver's are doing; they're probably watching their phones... I hope your A/C will have an easier time working! Aloha!

I have a 1975 Chevy K10 that I've had to daily drive to work many times. When my other vehicles break I drive my old Chevy. She's always reliable. My truck has an Edelbrock 4 barrel carb. It's pretty much like a quadrajet. If I drive it every day I only need to give it 1 pump for it to start. If it sits for several days it does take a lot of pumps to start it. The fuel has just evaporated away I think. I'm assuming with your truck it could be the carb just needs a little adjusting or maybe there are some leaky gaskets. Its hard to say. Its an old truck ha ha. As long as it starts thats the main thing. A word of advice about the AC. I recently recharged the freon on my truck. I never had tried the AC in the 10 years I've owned it. After doing that the AC did mostly work but the high pressure line would freeze up. Turns out the orifice tube in the line was clogged up. That caused the blockage. So before you put freon in there, check that orifice tube! Anyways, thanks for sharing your beautiful C10 with us! Best of luck!

FYI...That's a pilot bushing, not bearing.

Nice work! You are going to want to pull that glass out...with that pitted rust, you might have bigger issues behind it, especially in the corners.

BUY THE PROPER GM DUST SEAL INSTALLER AND USE A WIDE SCREWDRIVER TO TWIST THE OLD DUST SEAL OUT!!!

Y-e-e-e-s-s-s!!! A/C in time for Hot Rod Power Tour!!! You two won't have to sweat it out for that event! Go out and collect those golden memories. Aloha!

Dude you really should have stayed with taking the upper dash it's only six screws and it being glued in would have a differents. You didn't need to remove the duck work the speaker is right underneath the dash pad. Unbelievable

After seeing this i will happily live with the oil spot on my driveway

So I have a 78 Nova delco radio with an AM/FM radio, it has true stereo output how would I retain that? How would I swap it to use Bluetooth on the AM switch to retain FM? This is exactly what I want to accomplish on my nova’s restoration. Also you have the link for that module?

You've learned so much about these A/C systems already that if got bored with your existing job, you could cross train right into servicing these systems professionally. I continue to enjoy your adventures. Aloha.

you just saved me a lot of money! side note, weird issue I still have is the radiator fan only turns on when I have the A/C button on with the fan setting at any level except off. I thought using the AC was usually something that adds heat, but weirdly my radiator fan will kick right on when I turn on the AC only, I also tested it with the temp sensor unplugged and the AC button off, and it would not turn on. Then with or without the temp-sensor plugged in, it would only turn on once I turned on the AC. Im wondering if anyone knows if saturns have some kind of bypass where the AC motor automatically turns on the radiator fan, it would make sense since the AC draws heat and the radiator fan might naturally engage with AC on? Any thoughts? I am pretty sure my temp sensor is bad, but even with it unplugged the AC engages the radiator fan.

Can you give us a link or put it in the description? For the chip. I can’t find it

Nice track, looks like a lot of fun to ride. What is the name of it?

Woo-hoo!!! Now that is LIVIN'!!! Not many people have a good idea of what their cars are even capable of, but YOU do! If I could, I'd flog my car on that track every time I could! Too much fun! Towards the last lap...at the long stretch where all those cars bunched up...I'd have lost it!🤣🤣I'd would've had to change my underpants for that one...🤣🤣. Congratulations on all your efforts totally paying off! Much aloha to you and the missus! That'll be a weekend you two can cherish!

Thank u. ganda nang pag ka explain, nagsubscribe ako sau.

man shes beat, please fix her up! sadly not many 5 speeds are in good shape.

I don’t speak English well, so I’ll speak Russian. Я владею уже вторым Сатурном в России! Ну нравятся мне эти машинки, да вообще люблю американский автопром! Первый был SC 1995 года на МКПП, продал в конце 2021 года, т.к. собирался уезжать из РФ, не успел, война… Теперь жалею, что продал… Сейчас у меня SW 1999 года, на АКПП, купил в конце 2023 года. Вот появилась проблема, не заводится авто, даже стартер не крутит, для начала посмотрю проводку и реле, надеюсь где-то контакт отошёл. Thank you for video! Good luck!

I the same problem and changed everything you did but the ignition coil so I’ll try that next time

So how much did you pay for the car at the end? You said 200.00 off but what was the original price? I would not pay more than 1,500, no ac, needs tired, pulls to the right, electrical problems, no AC, transmission leaking, oil leaking, I would ask for 1,200.00 or walk away

Just a tip for your future videos....try to get right to the point, minimize the talking and make the video more concise. Most people want to spend minimum time watching a video as their ultimate goal is simply to learn about their problem.
