You may also in the ordeal have gas fouled he plugs to the point they might need to be replaced. Drive it around for a while and check them for proper burning. There is a chart on the web site. The wires would have to be pretty bad to jump or broke rubber or something like that. John Hervey http://www.specialtauto.com/engine.shtml << Could it be that the thermo-time switch was stuck closed and unplugging it caused it to be released, leaving it stuck open all the time? Early on, I was checking the spark at the plug and I couldn't get one. Will the spark jump out past the rubber sheath when grounded to the engine? >> ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ Message: 2 Date: Mon, 24 Jun 2002 21:43:33 EDT From: dherv10@xxxxxxx Subject: Re: heater fan shuts off now and then? Brian, It's a common problem that the 4th speed in the heater fan/blower motor will shut off. You can replace the circuit breaker and it will do it again when on the fourth speed. I wouldn't advise uping the current on the circuit breaker, just don't run the fans on 4th speed. Use 3rd as max. It won't hurt for a while then when they shut off goto 3rd. 3rd and 4th go thru the CB and 1st and 2nd go from the switch. You also have a relay for 3rd and 4th ea. John hervey http://www.specialtauto.com/ << Does anybody have an idea why my heater fan shuts off when running the ac.I'll have it on high then it with stop blowing or will blow on low,if you turn the fan switch to low then back to high it will work usauly.It does this quite a bit but not all the time.Could this be a bad switch or some type of power falure?Any thoughts would be appreciated v >> ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ Message: 3 Date: Mon, 24 Jun 2002 21:13:31 -0500 From: "K Creason" <dmc4687@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: RE: a/c leak? AutoZone had a red dye that didnot require a u/v light. I wouldn't do that one for fear of it getting into carpets..... I, too, am curious. I still haven't located my a/c "pressure release" system. :) -----Original Message----- From: Walter Coe [mailto:Whalt@xxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, June 24, 2002 8:23 AM To: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [DML] a/c leak? I have read DML postings where people explain that they put leak detector dye in the a/c system and then find leaks all over the rubber hoses running along the chassis. I understand that anywhere there is a refrigerant leak, there will also be an oil residue present. QUESTION #1: So if the entire length of the hose becomes porous enough to be a leak, wouldn't the hose also appear oily looking? I'm getting ready to rebuild my compressor and replace the dryer & expansion orifice, so I don't want to waste R-12 in a system that won't keep it. QUESTION #2 Speaking of dyes to find leaks in the a/c system, can anyone say how long these work before they break down? I heard a rumor that they have a short useful life once put in the system. I am familiar with the variety of dye that needs to be illuminated with an ultraviolet light to become visible. QUESTION #3 Is there another variety of dye that is visible without a UV light?
