I have a broken rca lead and dont want to pull the whole lead out of my car to fix it, i am putting some new ends on it but dont know how to tell which colours are earth

yes you have to pull of the whole assembly to put ine back in ,id leave it off

New Battery

You know the problem ,the threads pulled out
of the battery,it's junk

All you need is a deep socket that is the right size to fit your spark plugs and the new set of leads.

Spark plugs:
remove the spark plug end of the lead, use a screw driver and rag to place down the whole to mop up any oil that may be down there. remove your spark plug, place the new one in and replace the lead. simple as that really.

Leads:
These can be more difficult. As you pull the leads off the park plugs and distributor you will need to take note of which lead goes where and write it down. once all 6 are removed just simply reverse the process. A good rule of thumb is the length of the leadas to its location on the engine but dont take it for granted.

Most likely the reason for the jamming of pull rope would be the rewind coil was over stressed due to use and age (they become brittle after a while) and where the coil catches on inside of housing snapped causing a slight unwinding and then the restricted movement of pull rope assembly. If you have it apart you should be able to see where the coil connects at both ends and attaches to its mating location. If you do not see the typical bent coil hook then your coil is broken. No worries, if this is the case, heat the broken end with a lighter or torch and use a pair of needle nose pliers and reshape to match the hooking location. Once completed, rewind coil and place masking tape around coil temporarily holding coil in place and leave yourself about three inch lead of coil to attach where it needs to go. Insert and fasten coil assembly then remove all pieces of tape. At this time your pull rope should be recoiling and rewinding pull rope. Always wear eye protection.

Ive got the same car, here is two problems ive found that made it run rough 1. The ignition leads are a bad design and the metal clip that plugs into the end of the plug is very tight and quite often people just reef on the lead or rubber insulation on end of lead causing the lead to break off the end of metal clip on the end of it. Ive done it twice myself till i worked out that you need to grip onto the rubber insulation (the big rubber bit on end of lead) about half way along it with multi grips or something similar so you are actually pulling on the metal bit just above the plug and gently wriggle it off. My sister has same car too and all the leads were broken like this it was still running but like ****,new set of leads fixed it. 2. I had run my lanos very low on fuel a fair few times and it started to splutter and stall and was under powered for about a week so i changed the fuel filter ($15 AUS) and good as new. Hope this helps>

Hi, Replacing the rca plug at the end of the cable is just a matter of splicing the wires correctly. The wire is actually a 2 wire line, almost directly under the black outer casing will be the ground wire ( is actually going to be totally wrapped around the center wire ) this will be evident if you look at the cross section where you cut the cord. The replacement end can be purchased at the local Radio Shack, less than $3 probably for a pack of 2. When stripping the casing from the cord be carful not to cut away too much of ground wire sheath ( this may lead to difficulty in attaching new end ) it is almost inevitable to have a few strands of wire cut loose. The next step is to sort of " part " the outer sheathing, then kind of wrap both halves around the inner conductor as close to where you stripped outer sheathing away as possible. Next strip away the inner wires sheathing and you have the two ends to either solder, if you know how to, or tie through the holes of the replacement rca plugs leads. I hope this was of enough help and thank you for asking FixYa, Good luck-Prodzilla

#1 you need a ground loop isolator to put on the RCA cables. that should fix the problem... put one off the amp leading to the sub also cause that will also fix it these gorund loop isolators can be picked up at any electronic installer shop.., you might be able to find them at radio shack to but i would not buy those cause they dont work as well as the better ones, i would suggest any auto alarm radio installer shop.... hope this helps you...

get a sledge hammer and bash it...put the mp3 plyer on the road and let it get run over...if that dont work ...well that sux cuz it because it cuz it cant be fixed now

there should be four bolts holding the cover on that houses the pull cord assembly take the bolts out look inside you should see the rest of the broken cord at the other end there is a spool that the cord rolls up in to pull the cord until it stops the other end of the cord is a not in the cord pull on the knot the broken peice should come out turn the spool 2 times in the direction that is against the pressre while holding the spool in place feed the new cord in through the whole that you pulled the broken cord out of then tie the cord in a knot wind the rest of the cord up then feed the other end of the cord through the new pull handle tie the cord in a knot put the housing back on

look for a round plastic tubing leading from the motor. will be a large diameter. the end away from the motor should have a large black plastic box closed by either screws or clips.... remove those clips and you will find the filter.
