I will do that this Saturday and update the post. Thanks Brian, Drew, and kenw especially for sharing their knowledge.

I tried the magnet test w/ the jumper cable again and still got the same steady 11v. I used the kitchen timer and my magnetic parts bowl and move around, from close to far and it just stay at 11v. kenw, I think I am going to bend the terminal a little just like you said, then take the car to...

knew, thank you for following the post and spend the time to reply . I will post the result tomorrow.

kenw, just want to make should I understand, hook up all the wires like I did on my previous test and put a jumper cable with one end to the chassis (w/ alligator clip) and the other end on the metal part of the sensor (w/ alligator clip).

I was gonna upload the pics earlier but could not find a USB cable. Anyway, here are some photos I took yesterday. The magnet test setup (Meter @ lower left corner, timer w/ magnet @ top of the battery, sensor @ top of the radiator) Speed sensor Speed sensor location kenw, how can...

Okay. I tried to test the sensor out of the tranny an hour ago. It did not read on the meter, not even 11v. When I put it back in the tranny, it read 11v on the meter. Then I sticked a kitchen timer w/ small magnet on the back in there and move it around. Nothing happened. When I plugged the...

Thanks Brian, Drew and knew. knew, I think Brian is right on the magnet being IN the sensor. The 4 things that can go wrong and should be check or replace, according to the FSM, are speed sensor, comination meter, harness or connector between vehicle speed sensor, and the computer. Brian, I...

Kenw, yep, the speedo was not working and the light was on BEFORE the test. My father just bought the car 2 weeks ago and the car was a mess. No plate, wheel stud broken off, 3 regular tires plus a spare, missing door handle, dead battery, the list goes on. He got the car and went straight to...

Brian, Thanks for your input. I did not disconnect the battery at all. Since the car does not has a license, I did not drive it except to test the speedometer at 11:00 p.m. around the block. I am planning to apply for a 3 day permit and drive the car to Autozone and have them check to see if the...

Hi everyone, I have some questions regarding a 97 Camry w/ 5S-FE (2.2L I4) A/T. The car did not pass emission due to a DTC. Problems: 1. Check engine light on (P0500 Vehicle Speed Sensor Malfunction) 2. Speedometer and trip odometer not working Here is the procedure from the 3rd gen (92-96)...

I just removed my strut assembly on my 98 Sentra. When I attached the spring compressor to the spring, I left the top and bottom coil free. After I removed the piston rod nut off, I took the spring off the strut and the top and bottom coil (no compression) was in the same position as the piston...

Steve, Chris: No gasket on the pan, just sealant. The photo was taken from a guy on SE-R.net who replaced his lower oil pan. sbc350gearhead: How fast is the set-up? I am using Ultra Black right now. Here is what the factory manual said. Two more questions. Should I hammer the putty knife...

What do you guys used to separate the oil pan from the block? The factory service manual specifically stated not to use a screwdriver. The recommend tool is a special separator from Nissan. Here is a photo of the pan: Thanks for the help!

50/50 Vinegar and distilled water. You may want to rewax the area you apply the mixture to.

Thanks for your response, Labman. My local Autozone and Pepboys only stock battery, plug and oil filter. Do you think I can order the air filter through my local GM dealers? [ November 22, 2004, 05:52 PM: Message edited by: Babaloo ]

Anyone know where can I find AC Delco filter locally? It is for a 97 Civic. I used the parts retailer locator on the AC Delco website and they only listed 2 wholesalers in my area. Thanks for your help.

Should I get a set of mounts for the struts/ shocks?

pacem, I think the question is: are you willing to pay 20 cents more every gallon for 65hp? The I4 Camry has a rating of 23/31 with 125hp (87 octane) while the V6 standard Maxima is 22/27 with 190hp (91 octane). If you decided to go with the Maxima, 97 and 98 will be the better choice if safety...

FowVay is right, according to the Honda Civic EJ6, EJ7, EJ8 (96-00) factory service manual, the pulley bolt should be tighten to 14lb-ft+ 90º mormit: Two things to watch out for, don't lose the tiny woodruff key on the pulley and cover up the hole where the oil dipstick tube goes while you are...

Thanks, MAJA! Just out of curiosity, what is the Jorgenson steel book you mentioned?
