I am getting this CLANK noise from rear axel ,when releaseing the clutcn, or letting go the gas pedal and acelerating.
If I lift the rear wheels ang grab the driveshaft near the differential it goes about 1/16 of a turn before engaging the axles. It's the only play I can feel on the drive line

There is a way to check your sensor and your cold star injector, individually
If you will like to do that

I had the exact same problem,in my case was the cold start injector not working due to the sensor that actuates it , this is the one at the thermostat housing.
Try to cranck in the morning when stone cold, with the start injector off the intake and see if you get a squirt of gas.
Remember the engine ...

" I believe it was me who told you that.

My car has functioned this way since I bought it in '82. Every time the the locks are actuated there is a delayed 'click'.

I have no battery drain.

I believe I also told you there is an emergency release function to the power locks that can fail and ...

After a few months chasing this slow battery draw , I finally discover and fixed the problem.
I will like to share my experience, may be it will be helpful to somebody with the same issue.
As the advised given by other nice forum members, I started by removing the positive connector from battery and ...

I don't know if anybody has done this to the AAV , but worked like a charm for my car
The AAV was working , but not opening enough when cold to increase idle , even with the adjuster all the way open.
I guess from being old and tired, so I took dremell tool and I ground the plate that opens and ...

Sorry , no news yet, little time off
Still working on it, I will keep you guys posted

Thanks Lenny for your words of encouragement , this is a real PITA
I got that the click on the door is normal, based in your comment.
I have draw at battery terminal even when I remove the fuse that feeds the locks , so I know is not the locks
I also pulled up on that inertia switch by the glove ...

Radio takes power from cigarette lighter, and that goes through fuse box.
I checked that already
Thanks GRUMPSJR, but that is not it

OK, this are the news
I removed the fuse with the power draw at the fuse box,to keep battery from going dead. but yesterday after car seating at the garage for two days, dead again.AHHHH!!!!!
Then I tested the draw at the battery from the post to terminal and I have over 1 amp there (don't know ...

Hey mike sorry I didn't see your post.
I remember grinding or cutting the lip and then prying the body appart with a screw driver,
then i used J&B weld to glue it back on.
Didn't have the chance to try it

You can not replace that o ring without taking the valve appart, the o ring seats in the inside part of that interior wall.
May be you can squeeze another one from the outside but I dont think so
I had done a new valve in november and I have around 1000 miles without any problem
The old one had the ...

Thanks Brian,
trunk,dome and glove compartment lights go off when closed
Thanks Lenny,
Can I disconect the mechanism without taking the door panel off? or removing fuse?,probably not

Yes ,I did rebuild mine and is very simple inside.
What keeps the coolant from coming out is 3 o rings in diferent places.
But I didn't put it back , I started to think about how much work was to remove and install, that I bought a new one.
Also if you are going to rebuild it make sure that you use ...

Like other members in this post I have been chasing a slow drain of battery when the car seats for a few days.
I should mention that I have a brand new battery, so I know is not the battery, and no other aftermarket accesories like amplifiers,antena boosters ,etc.
This is what I have got so far ...
