ALL JACKSONVILLE RX8s!
my power steering goes out about every 3-4 weeks or so. my engine bay is pretty clean as well, not THAT clean, but clean enough lol. The connector down by the torque sensor wasnt "gunked" up per-se, but it wasnt as good as could be. Added some di-electric grease, that usually also does the trick.
ok, either i didnt put the plug on all the way, or didnt use enough of something (cleaning or grease or other), debating soldering the plugs (if you havent figured it out already i lost my power steering again...). As of right now though im just gonna leave it be, driving without it isnt all that horrible.
My sensor came on and had no power either but i turned the car off after it warmed up , then back on again and the light was out and i had power steering again . no probs sence so i dont know what it was .

i really wanna go to spring break nationals, but i got a friend whos b-day is that weekend, so that entire weekend is up in the air.... So much is happening that weekend its ridiculous.
So for this spring break i have planned im gonna take apart my girl some. Gonna remove the upper intake, ssv, thermostat; going to go in and clean all those part and make them nice and new. I know this is a kinda long jouney, but i think the ends justify the means. What do you guys have planned to go along with all of the nice shows?
I love all those wires ! you have an awesome job brother . what ever you do dont look down .
wait, you mean those arent just rainbow colored zip-ties conveniently placed like electrical wiring? lol, j/k. In truth, looks complicated. Agree with the not looking down thing... heh.
Pulled my UIM, cleaned it up, did some other work while i was in there, girl is purring nicely. Next step is removing the door panels to put in new relays on the Bose PCB. I took photos of my UIM removal but you guys have seen it all before lol.
Now I do have a question for you guys, for here in JAX do you guys know where we can get good/great automotive paint around here, other than online? I have my friend whos b-day is coming up, and i want to help him paint his 240sx when he comes off his cruise as his b-day pres. You might say to take it to a shop, but he wants test different colors first to see what "feels best." (i want to at least know where to get the best paint now so i can lock it down)
