Re: Filling up the IC... When you say run pump...do you just leave the car running??? Or how do you make the pump active?

How do you actually fill the bottom ic??? I just re-did the hoses with the upgraded lower ic...tried to fill the top ic but the water won't go directly down to lower (even with petcock open). Took ty for a drive and water just evaporated or something... need help? :squint:

Re: Typhoon died on me, won't start... Tried to test coil by pink/white jumper behind distributor. Both leads show +12v test. Still no spark. What does this mean: bad rotor, module, or distributor?

Re: Typhoon died on me, won't start... Check all fuses, they are good. Took off fuel pump guage on the rail, still primes and shoots a lot of gas out. I tried pulling a spark plug out and cranking for a spark but no luck. This seems to be the problem. How do you check the distributor and coil?

:rant: I went for a little summer cruise from LA to San Diego yesterday. Truck has been running totally legit and in its prime. Got to San Diego in the hot 90s degree weather. As I picked up my cousin and left his neighborhood the Ty just died, out of no where. Pulled to the side, tried to crank...

It's summer time and I've got some cleaning out to do. I have a stock tranny & TC from my 93' Typhoon. It has about 60k miles on it, all original. I've upgraded to a RPM setup after my rebuild. I don't know exactly how much a stock used one is, but I'm willing to take some offers. The tranny is...

Re: IC pump not working... Went to check it out, power was good. So I pull the lower CCHE, turns out the pump failed. I'm had the Harbor Freight industrial pump conversion. It leaks at the base of the pump, cheap seal. This is the 2nd time this happened. Is it because of high heat? What...

I'm looking for a new tranny pan. Whoever pulled the tranny out last jacked up on the nice Derale cooling pan, denting the bottom pretty good. Now the drain plug keeps leaking, even when I put a new copper or plastic gasket. I want a performance pan. Any suggestions???

I went to go for a spin around the block in my Ty. The red light came on: Check gauges!!! I look and everything looks normal, except for a low battery (not even half way on volt gauge)...went straight back to home. Pop the hood and boy was my engine HOTT...then I finally realized my loud ass IC...

I've seen your truck twice... Both times on 190th AVE... anybody know who this is? I'll be seeing you around in my White 93'...

I've got a solid stock tranny out of my 93' Typhoon. It has 60k miles on it and she runs strong. I just transplanted a used RPM tranny with a new a TC to take on more mods and hp. I don't know how much a stock tranny is worth but I willing to take some offers... Let me know if your locally in...

I just did a quick tune on the Ty after the tranny transplant. I did the all the fluids and went for the plugs as well. The old plugs were shot (super fouled & dark). They were the NGK TR6s, originally I had the TR5s. This time I went with the TR55s. Anyhow I took her for a drive for about an...

I just installed a RPM tranny and TC into my 93' Typhoon. I have 65k on the original trans. Everything was in normal working condition: no hard shifts, leaks, or slippage. I just wanted to upgrade my drivetrain since I've got a pretty fresh rebuilt RPM engine. I'd be willing to take $850 for the...

Re: Grounded Starter Wire...help!!! Where is this? What does it control? I ran an extra external fuse holder on my alterantor and IC pump.

Re: Grounded Starter Wire...help!!! Pulled all the fuses and reinstall, none busted. Car will start and stay on now in park. Once in gear it dies, unless given gas. What could cause this?

After I spent more time fixing the new tranny leak from the cooling lines I took my Ty for a spin to get gas. On the way I hit some railroad tracks and my cars instantly shorts and loses all power: dash, stereo, lights, and engine. I was pissed to find out that I forgot to reroute the starter...

any specific break-in period for a new high stall torque converter?

I've got the leak just about fixed on the tranny pan. When i went to drive it out the garage i put it in gear an di t seems like it needs a little pressure on the gas to move. I was trying to repark it in a better place. Is this bad for the tranny? I even reset the TV cable but it only clicked...

I'm trying hard to get my Ty back on the road but this tranny job is becoming a headache. I tried 2 tranny pan gasket kits: 1 cork, 1 plastic. Both failed. I even tried a little RTV on the second one, no good. What gaskets work? Do you install them dry?

Re: New Trans HELP.... Alright guys just got off work. Thanks for your inputs. It was the 11 qts. of oil, I only put 6 and I added a cooler. Once I topped off, I started the car and found a stinking leak on the tranny pan. Looks like I'm gonna have to pull it off and buy a new gasket, I even...
