went to Amazon, found a highly recommended kit and ordered it, $30.00. I'm determined to get my brakes fixed before it get's cold.

If you decide to go in the door don't worry about the two lower rollers. The top roller is the one Ronnie is referring to that binds up. The track is easy to get at and remove [3 screws]. Then pop off the roller and drill it out with a 3/8" drill. It will still snap on and roll much better. I did put grease inside the roller hole that I just drilled out. Then while you are in there take a look at the door actuator rubber on the shaft that trips the lock. You will see that the rubber will have a slice in it. Take a real small diameter piece of hose and slid it inside the rubber boot hole and slid it over the actuator shaft. I did not remove the actuator to do this I just forced it off installed the hose and forced it back on. The "action" on the door lock is much more positive.

For the TPS you have to loosen the screws just enough so that you can move the TPS and then rotate it just slightly until it reads 0.38V - 0.42V then tighten the screws back down.

I guess its a Skyhawk, but it looks familiar 😉

Once again, thanks Dave. Naturally I'd much prefer to simply cut the old line and flare it as was intended. Sigh* okay then, thanks for your input. I'm going to check into Amazon for a bubble flaring tool.

Dragging can be helped by spraying the tracks by sticking the tube on a WD-40 between the glass and the track. Then run the window up and down. Repeat. No need to remove the door panel. Just spray with the window down.

Oh also on the TPS, I find the original phillips head screws kind of a pain so I actually replaced mine with some small bolts that I could get a wrench on. At least on my 1990 the size bolt was m4-.7 x25mm. You would need new lock washers and washers too because the originals are permanently affixed to the screws. Not a necessary step but I found it to make things easier when trying to adjust the sensor.

Thank you philbo and rogold! I will get that ordered and let you guys now if it fixed my problem, fingers crossed! Can't thank you guys enough for the help!

I agree with Philbo, I used the ACDelco Professional 217-3344 .

Of the choices that Rock Auto has, I would probably go with the ACDelco fuel pressure regulator if it were me.

Yes it is

If the fuel pressure regulator wont hold vacuum thats a good sign its bad. I just changed mine a few weeks ago for not holding pressure. Pretty sure mine was the original 32 year old Bosch, which are hard to find now.

I did and found several for half of that! I don't know what the local auto parts guys are smoking but I sure appreciate your advice Dave.

I did get a reply from Jim. My email had went to his junk mail folder and he found it.

Parked next door it would look like the long lost cousin you heard about but never saw. Sort of the love child of questionable parentage.

The Crossville area is especially beautiful in the fall.
