Turn Signal Basic Question

My turn signals don't work unless I push down on the turn signal relay with my finger.

I replaced the relay, and that didn't fix the problem.

What is the next step?

Thank you in advance.

Fuse Block Diagram Needed

I have a combination Milano/GTV6 factory manual. The manual includes a fuse block diagram for the Milano, but not the GTV6. Can anyone provide me with a diagram that shows (1) the correct amperage for each fuse and (2) the components that correspond to each fuse? Failing that, does anyone have recom...

problem solved - for now

Using a test light, I confirmed that the injector was getting power when while the engine was cranking. I removed the fuel hose from the injector, but I found no filter inside. Am I correct to assume that the filter is supposed to be inside the plastic fuel inlet tube over which the fuel hose fits? ...

Where's the cold start injector filter?

While cold outside, I removed the cold start injector from the plenum, cranked the engine, and no fuel squirted out.

Next I want to check the filter, as suggested. Where exactly is it? Is it in the injector body? Or, is it in the air intake plenum?

Thanks in advance.

Cold Start Problem

Normally, after the car has not been driven for a day or more, it will not start on the first try. It cranks fine (I let it crank for around 5 seconds), but it doesn't start up. On the second or third try, it sputters, then starts. Then it runs great. The weather has recently become colder. I tried ...

Thanks!

Your tip about removing the airbox was the tip that I needed to know.

You guessed right - this was my first oil change on this car and I have AC.

Once I removed the airbox, the procedure was easy.

Thanks again.

wheel

Exception: What are the name of those wheels in the picture of car? They look cool. Are they stock or aftermarket? Will such wheels fit on my stock '85? All: What is a good US source for used GTV6 parts? I'm in need of some odds and ends but I desperately need some hardware for the radius-arm/upper ...

figured out the "clunk"

Thanks for your responses. I figured out what the clunking noise was. It was looseness in what the manual calls the "tie rods" (those adjustable stabilizer arms that extend from the top of the upper link into a hole in the engine compartment, with red bushings on either side of the hole in...

jack point

What is the proper jack point at the front of the car? After the car is up, what are the proper points to place the jackstands? The reason that I'm jacking up the GTV6 is to diagnose a clanking sound that occurs whenever I go over bumps. The sound is sort of like the sound that a shock makes when al...
