I'm working on a friend's 2002 SL2. It has 125k on it. I'm supposed to check the car over before she gives it to her daughter.

Re: Window lift motor replacement Q?s
I'm not sure it senses current draw. I tested the new motor by plugging in the wiring (before connecting it to the regulator) - the Auto feature spun the gear for a while. It seemed to stop after a...

Re: Another no-start SL2 (flooded)- ideas anyone?

Re: Another no-start SL2 (flooded)- ideas anyone?
The ECTS (and pigtail) were replaced last month at the dealer after the car failed to start. They said "bad ECTS" and recommended changing the plugs because they were fouled. Two weeks after that -...

Re: Another no-start SL2 (flooded)- ideas anyone?
Ugh - well I checked the pressure. The Key On, Engine Off reading was 44lbs. The reading at idle, running was 48lbs. And once again the plugs were fuel soaked. The car started right up when the...

Re: Another no-start SL2 (flooded)- ideas anyone?
I didn't realize this would be going 40+ replies (and 3 pages) later.... But it will be nice to get it ironed out at some point soon. I will probably swing by NAPA and pick up the filter. Then...

Re: timing kit on ebay
I think that as long as you used some sort of prelube on the bearing surfaces and/or cam lobes then no need to prime the oil pump. And pouring the oil over the cams, etc is a fine idea. Cover as...
