Problem solved.

The seal that you talk about venum is letting a bit of oil pass and wet the plug 1 but the real problem was the two plug wires. Bought them at Autotune Supplies in St. Helena and changed them right outside the stoor. I immediately got the response. I am in proper working order now.

Apparently, the CK and Cs uses the same plug wires. THis one I got is NGK and the box had written on it for CK4 Lancer. Will post a pic tomorrow. Too tired to do that.

The car in question is a CS3 venum

You changed your plug seals too?

I changed my plug seals about two weeks ago, changed all four @ $45 each. Also changed the gasket one time as well. I had a considerable amount of oil in my plugs. Fairly simple DIY job.

On another note, I am a bit confused guys, this is what's up: I usually top up the radiator every week, usually get that pop sound when I pull off the cap. I already know that I have to change the radiator because of some small holes that will spring major leaks in the future. The thing is I noticed that my coolant reservoir bottle is filled almost to the brim. I borrowed my cousin's owners manual and it said that the level should be between max and min. I never ever topped up the reservoir bottle. Can anyone explain the reason for this? Is this normal, abnormal?

I already have plans to change the fan controller and the thermostat this week, a new radiator will be purchased in a few weeks.

pressure pushing from the radiator and back to the bottle over time the cap loses tension or the rubber in it or u can have a blown head gasket and the pressure builds

Mety57, A blown head gasket was the first thing that came to mind, but in an earlier post idlemind told me that symptoms of a blown head gasket are mainly water on the oil dipstick and overheating i think. I think that I will go ahead and change the head gasket just to be on the safe side. I'm not concerned about the cost of the replacement head gasket, I'm more concerned about the work.

I'm not too sure if I want to attempt this as a DIY project cause it's alot of bolts and harnesses to get by in order to get to the gasket.

Has anyone ever attempted this on their own?

[BrotherHood]

Na I only do basic stuff. All fluids, spark plugs, filters, and anything else relatively simple. Anything deeply internal I leave for the mechanic.

DouglaKing, it is pretty simple. I will list out the details for you shortly.

[turbo_beast369]

as for my problem, the right side fan motor wasnt working, ran a direct wire and didnt get any movement....went by bella saturday and got one from a local PCE crashed CS3A...normally parts men doesn't like to seperate parts but the fan frame was broken and the motor and fan was still attached so I got it...paid 400 for the motor alone...brand new is like 220 USD b4 shipping, taxes and duties so I came out good still...tested it on d car and was working...I hadda pull out the upper radiator hose to get the fan housing out so I gonna flush radiator, change thermostat and put new coolant (Texaco 50/50 with some distilled battery water) one time...

You can either do it from underneath the car or you can take out the headlamps.

Once the headlamps are removed you should have access to the bulb holder once you stick your hand right down there. You gotta turn the holder anti-clockwise as well to unlock it.

Remove the old bulb and replace with exact type, the number should be written on it.

I don't think you would need more details than this James

[turbo_beast369]

aye turbo u forget me with the deck bracket

I didn't forget you, didn't install the new deck as yet

[douglaking]

[BrotherHood]

Yeah somebody call ah date na.

aye allyuh tranny done 6000 to rebuild

Mine is rebuilding at present. Getting it back tomorrow. Costing me $5700 so we are on the same budget here.

[EXODUS]

woweeee.... thaz rel $$$ 2 rebuild! y not buy 1 n done?

[mety57]

i feel i gonna convert to the twin cam 4g15 and tranny so i,m have some gdi parts and engine for sale

[Biggs3ne]

woweeee.... thaz rel $$$ 2 rebuild! y not buy 1 n done?

$6,000.00 is reasonable for a tranny rebuild. What you need to remember is that the parts costs alot of money and make up the bulk of the bill.

I won't advise anyone to purchase a tranny unless it's brand new or if you know the history of it. I have also heard many say that the rebuild makes it as good as new.

Thumbs on that. Anywhere in that vicinity is what is costs to rebuild the CVT transmission. Biggs said it all there. The parts make up the bulk of the cost. Also, the cost of one of those transmissions is more than that. brqand new which is the best option means you have to face DM. I heard some ridiculous prices. Better you buy a car.

[EXODUS]

foreign used dus wuk best also!

[turbo_beast369]

^^^yea they do most times BUT with a re-build you know everything inside the tranny like new so u have more peace of mind....OR convert to gearbox at around 4-5 K
