Re: I'm back

The problem was not entirely my old Windows 7 computer, it's a reaction to something wrong about this website. My new computer won't stay logged in, I have to log in each day when I come here, and there's a mention of it being unsafe on the login dialog.

I'm back

Hey all, haven't posted in six months or so because I couldn't login. Probably something to do with my desktop being Windows 7. SMH

Got a laptop for birthday/christmas and I can log in just fine here. I've been reading all along, just couldn't post.

Re: how to check if the chain is stretched? Do I need special tools to set the timing?

As usual, I'm going to give you my very experienced amateur opinion and then later today or tomorrow the guy who really knows this stuff will give you better advice. The chain is tensioned by oil pressure, the tensioner could be bad. Be sure that you have 10W-30 oil, synthetic is better at keeping t...

Wow, this really ups the value of replacing that belt tensioner.

Re: Air/Fuel intake system cleaning

Always a good idea to put a bottle of Techron in the tank every 20,000 miles and to clean your MAF sensor and throttle body every 50,000 or so. Doing a cheap, do-it-yourself cleaning regularly can help avoid the need to pay for a more expensive professional cleaning down the road. I've always gotten...

Re: Problem with throttle (RPMs fluctuate)

Pressure plate? Do you mean the Clutch pressure plate? If you have a manual then the rpms are not fluctuating like that, the car would be jerking violently enough to give you whiplash.

Re: LED Fog Light Upgrade

As for the white vs. amber, I have amber fog lights. They are 3000K Morimoto XB HID bulbs. While many have amber fog lights for the looks (especially on Japanese cars for that JDM look), they are technically supposed to be better for fog and rainy condition visibility by casting a light in a color ...

Re: Plans on buying a pre-owner Kizashi

Welcome Swaroop Kumar ! I am in the USA so I can't give you any advice about service or parts availability. I absolutely think you should buy it, but you've come to a Kizashi fan site for advice, guess that's predictable. The only concern is the CVT transmission, it's a little bit undersized for the...
