This is just a plea for help with a plethora of maladies.
1) No dash lights, although the fuse is good... :confused:
2) Still no heat after new thermostat & heater core. Is there a definitive way that the thermostat has to be installed vis a vie the direction of the block? I should add that the head of the bleeder valve is sheared off.
3) I got stuck last week, hung up on the frame, and had occasion to have the hood open while trying to free the car and saw the engine lifting on the order of 6" or more as I accelerated; do I need new motor mounts?
4) Interior light won't react to an open door, although it will chime if keys are left inside or lights left on. :(
5)In my '89 80Q I had the heater core burst into the cabin one night when it was (-23) degrees. I drove it four miles while low on anti-freeze and the cabin filled with smoke/steam and now the car smokes terribly from both exhaust and heating vents. Local mechanic says that bearings are shot, recommended engine replacement! :zx11:
6) ABS automatically disengages as soon as I hit 25 mph; if I manually re-engage the ABS, I get a very high, stiff pedal with some nasty vibrations before it finally returns to normal pedal height and stops the vehicle. :1zhelp:
Any help or advice for ANY of these problems will be greatly appreciated. :beerchug:
