Just finished my BHG!! ,some questions guys

contact148 · 06-06-07, 11:19 PM

Ok my BHG is done!!! turned the key and it started right away went well no major problems might have a small leak on my valve covers (used eristic gasket set off ebay but FACTORY HG's) if they are leaking any tips??

Now before the BHG my 93 4 door the D4 light on the dash worked now it does NOT light up car drives fine (it did stall twice durning the 1st cruise around my block) but ive put 1 hour on it and no problems since when it did stall the check engine light came on, the car started right away and once shut off the check engine light went away

could I have caused the d4 light to not work?? burnt out bulb? if bulb how do i change it?

fule injector electrical conectors the stupid little horse shoe shaped metal pain in the ass to remove things anyone have a source my dealer says not available anyone have a part ##

You might as well upgrade the bulbs in your cluster to LEDs as well while you're at it.
