Ronnie Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Can you pull the rubber off and take a photo of what is underneath? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youngowner21 Posted July 31, 2023 Topic Author Share Posted July 31, 2023 I can’t get it off, but lookin at it it looks like one big rubber piece. Don’t know what it’s for though 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youngowner21 Posted July 31, 2023 Topic Author Share Posted July 31, 2023 Honestly I think I’m gonna just try and fix the crt so I can get a diagnostic reading cause I’ve read it can do that. I do have an obd 1 tool but I don’t know if the car needs to be running or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 The CRT won't tell you why the starter isn't turning the engine over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea what that is? That's a moisture drain tube. No wiring involved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youngowner21 Posted July 31, 2023 Topic Author Share Posted July 31, 2023 I’m stuck then, really don’t know where to go with this 😅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2seater Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Does the starter even work? Can you jump power from the main hot stud on the starter to the small start terminal?? The starter should engage even with the ignition turned off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youngowner21 Posted July 31, 2023 Topic Author Share Posted July 31, 2023 Don’t know will try it though, I’m gonna start fixing the other problems on the car if I can’t get it running. Don’t wanna waste time y’know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youngowner21 Posted August 21, 2023 Topic Author Share Posted August 21, 2023 Update: I’ve changed the oil and jump started the car a couple times and runs fine for a few minutes then sputters out. I’m going to look at the fuel filter for that problem see if it works. Also the side lights on the outside of the car are always on so gotta fix that, ordered a new switch for the light controls cause that might be the problem. But I’m just wondering now is is that my dash doesn’t light up also the crt. Was wondering if there are any ways I could see about fixing those two.

Ronnie Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 You should start carrying a fire extinguisher in the car. Odds are pretty good that you will need it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youngowner21 Posted August 28, 2023 Topic Author Share Posted August 28, 2023 Also does anyone know how to get to the fuel filter, I know it’s on the driver side on the 88 but I don’t know if it’s front or back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ship Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 I believe it's right under the driver's door (?). It's there on my '91. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 It's under the car, about where your left foot would be when you are sitting in the driver's seat. It's bolted to the inside of the frame rail. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
