I replace the spark plugs, wires, belt, and the fuel pressure regulator on the 3800 3.8l GM engine. Although there wasn't much improvement I felt that it ran a little better. Time to get it back on the road!
Thanks for the copper vs platinum spark plug tutorial. Non-professionals like me appreciate the info! Thanks also for spending the time to get all those great close-up shots while you're working. 😊
I bought my 1993 TS for $1800 off a used car lot. My wife said she didn't want a boat as I headed off across the lot with the salesman. I sat in that car and immediately had to have it. When I went to get the wife to look at it she was not happy that it was what she classified as a boat. I told her to just get in it and drive it. Sold instantly. We drove that car for years. Even after she smashed it into a minivan at 60. Someone stole it. Don't tell me they're not desirable.😂
Also i might add to check out the intake on the chevy lumina cars / Dodge Spirit those i can say was some very unique metal intake heads Mopar V6 3.0 Mitsubishi.
Around the 36 minute mark, I was waiting to hear: "Well, this one was made in Germany, and it wasn't giving us any problems, so I think we are just going to go ahead and leave it for now" haha.
I have a 92 Olds 98 Regency. It's the "base" trim for these cars the Touring Sedan was the highest trim. Out of all the 98s sold in the 90s I belive the Regency Elite was the most popular. The Touring Sedan could get the Supercharged 3800 I believe after 91.
Don’t feel bad. You got them cheap. Awesome. You probably won’t see much of a difference honestly. Just use them. You won’t have to at least worry about fouling plugs. They will last much longer too. Just send it🤘🏼🔥😁
@@SwedeMachine oh yeah, theyll last long, but the engine probably won't :( It's been clattering at idle for 4500 miles now, running on 20W-50. Rebuild/replacement in the books for next winter.
Oh shoot! You did the right thing. I’m not sure if you can get copper plugs for two dollars each haha! You’re using 20W-50 oil?! Yikes, that engine isn’t long for this world. Rebuild it, and keep them on the road💪🏼💯🤘🏼
Fantastic! An American car abroad! Must be the one in your profile picture yes? Can’t see it too well but that looks like a beautiful unit! I approve!!💯💪🏼
i'm sorta confused here ...um why isnt the owner of the car not doing this himself ? it sure doesnt take a mad scientist to do the common things that you normal maintenance....Unless its a lady or an The elderly or the person is disabled ..then that would be a complete understandable ....Lord know we dont want them getting hurt ....god forbid ....
He has a part time job in the summer that keeps him busy. He knows that I do car stuff on the internet, so I said, “I’ll give you free labor, in exchange i would like to post this content up for people to see.” So here we are talking about great cars😀💯💪🏼
i have two cars but i dont have the tools or the place to perform oil change or spark plug change. god forbid. also there are cars where spark plugs and oil filters arent easy to access
220 k miles and clean spark plugs, that is great. make sure you threaten your friend that if he doesn't take good care of it, bad things will happen. but on a deep, serious voice :)
