been a bit since I made a video. I haven't really had much to work on, save for a couple issues with the cadillac and a new problem with the olds. I'm still struggling to find parts for the mercury so I can do all the body work it needs. citation will be up for sale, hopefully soon. I also have a new project you'll be seeing soon enough, but it's in pretty rough shape right now so I'm not gonna...

how to read trouble codes on cadillac fleetwood 93-96

this is a video showing how to read engine, abs, traction, air bag, and many more codes on your cadillac fleetwood. since cadillacs do not have OBD ports, this is the only way to retrieve codes and view live data. you can read active codes with this, but you cannot erase them.

    If you have an old Ford V8 that hasn't been started for a while, pull out the distributor and find a way of attaching a power drill too the hex drive that goes down to the oil pump and pump oil through the engine without it running. Turn it the same direction as the distributor turns.

    Too little information out there on the CCC Q-Jet stuff. Even the books on them just say: "...yeah, you have those CCC carbs..." and really don't mention anything useful, besides how it is supposed to work. I just got an eBay "numbers matching" one for my '85 Monte Carlo SS 305 and it was 6.5 turns from bottomed on the lean stop. I previously ran mine with the lean stop bottomed out, which may be why it always surged when cruising slowly. On the one hand, within the 4.5 mm of stroke spec. but not the 1/8" mentioned in another comment. We'll see if mine works soon, now that it's back together, but it didn't seem the repair kit came with stuff to replace things on the air bleed. Thanks!

    • @alexanderzubar9593

      I would check the voltage sweep of the TPS first to make sure you TPS is good for the entire range. Using a voltmeter while slowly opening the throttle to full open. You should read a steady increase in voltage without any dropouts or sudden changes opening and closing. If that’s ok. Then adjust the TPS with the throttle closed with the choke open so you are not on fast idle cam.

    Not quite. You have to remove the ridge if you install new rings whether you reuse the old pistons or not. The ridge of metal/carbon/junk is the ring left near the top of the cylinder wall because it is the area NOT scraped away by the top compression ring (which is below the top of the piston by a quarter of an inch or so). The top, outer circumference of the piston actually never touches the inner circumference of the cylinder wall; at least not with enough pressure or force to wear either the piston or cylinder wall away. If not removed that ridge will likely break the NEW top compression ring within just a few minutes of running the engine.

    Hi Riot, the deck in my 2005 Chevy Duramax stopped loading. I removed the unit and found that the rubber sleeve is loose from the geared loading ROD. I almost have the unit disassembled and would like to know if you or any other viewers can recommend an adhesive to place on the sleeve and rod that won't be a future issue. I also noticed that the tiny plastic gear on the end of the rod is slipping so that the tray motor turns but the roller rod is not gripping the CD, pulling or pushing on the disc. Any suggestions ? ? ?
