ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

Read them. You will be expected to follow them.

    It itself works. The thermostat inside the engine area (idk how else to describe it) from what i read on another forum is stuck open. (first starts again do 1k-2k-1k-2k for 5-10 minutes or until its been driven.)

    Update: About a month ago when i did my cooling fan replacement (old was literally thrown through the spinning rod and melted), i never replaced the fuse. replaced it. let car run and watched them kick on. On my way home from autozone didnt put the fuse in to test. clutch started slipping. let car sit (where it would normally get hotter when on) and they turned on. took it around the block and all seems okay.. Until the next day

      You might just have a coolant leak somewhere. Check or replace all of your
      rubber hoses for the coolant system. Have you ever checked on the FITV?
      That is usually a culprit for the up & down hunting idle.

        The Coolant line DIRECTLY above trans looks like its not seated all the way/ stretched so I'm wondering if that might be the fluidAutoZone here i come

          Update: Again!

          This time that I am replying to this thread it is with some good news, for once!
          I checked the fuse for the melted cooling fan and sure enough it quite well blew up and scarred the inside of the plastic. Replaced that 15a and let the car run do its thing idling (didn't drive it, usually sitting still will cause the clutch to slip) and then took it around. To my own amazement, it didn't slip once, and still hasn't. It's been ~5 days since I did this and I've taken the car 40 minutes on the highway with no issues. Glad that my clutch doesn't slip but I am going to still eventually take it apart to do the T/O and the M/S.
          I really appreciate everyone's input to helping someone who doesn't know anything about this out! Thank you!

            Good. But, did you do anything to fix your slipping of the clutch?
            Things usually do not go away on their own...for too long.

              Yeah, I’ve never heard of a clutch that magically stopped slipping. Do the whole thing if you’re removing the transmission. If you had dookie leaking onto the clutch, it’s contaminated & is going to need replacement regardless. You should plan on doing anything that comes off while doing the clutch too. Axles, tie rods, ball joints, output shaft seals, etc.

              There’s a reason everybody says to do everything involved at the same time. It’s most certainly not for their health.
