I would check the coolant lines running to your throttle body. There are two small hoses near the throttle position sensor which pass coolant through the throttle body - I presume it's to help keep the throttle body cool. There is a seal there which *rarely* leaks, but it did on my '85 900T. I don't know if there's a gasket in there you can replace or not - I picked up a used throttle body at a local dismantler to solve the problem. > problem i have is that i cant see the information center led stuff above the > steering wheel i figure that the interior light sensor is broken because in > the right light i can just barely see the led's showing 13.8 volts or so.. It could be sensor problem, or it could be one of the two bulbs that illuminate the EDU. To replace the bulbs you have to remove the dash top and pull out the instrument cluster. > doors the dome light doesnt come on and when i open the glove compartment > that light doesnt come on. no fuses blown. but sometimes when i open the door > the dome light comes on for a millisecond and goes off:)?? can anyone suggest > some stuff to check out? Likely a bad switch somewhere. Try cleaning the switches in the door jambs. And do be sure all the lightbulbs themselves are good. > my abs system light is always on too no abs fuses > blown but when getting it inspected they installed new cv joints could this > affect it? Yes. someone could have damaged one of the ABS sensors on the front wheels, or dislodged some dirt or grime which is now obscuring the sensor. My '88 9000T has the same problem - I haven't fixed it yet, so I have no advice to offer. > this is the most beautiful car ive ever seen and id hate for a coolant problem > to ruin it. please help!!:) Enjoy! -Justin
