Sweet, thanks for the info! Now I've got something to go on. I'll check it out as soon as I get off work.

also since you have a 92 check you fuel filter under the driver side fender, i think thats its location on the older model, theres write ups on how to test to see if that works cause thatt will also cause you to not start.

Default Coolant leak
I just finished removing the rear sway bar as it was messing up my new tires and was happy because now I could get this thing back on the road. Immediately afterwards I develop a pretty substantial coolant leak that I'm thinking is the water pump having a catastrophic failure. Thanks for any insight/tips you might have on how o handle this. I'm not made out of money either so if you know where I can order something on the cheap that would be fantastic! Here is a picture of what's going on:

My gas gauge isn't reading correctly and it goes up and down, it will go all the way down to empty and will beep to let me know I'm low on gas and then it will go back up to a different number or level than what it was before. Ideas?

Probably the sensor giving a false reading, I don't know from experience so I can't say for sure

If I wanna drain my brake fluid to put new fluid in and also get any air out, do I do it through the bleeder valves. Also do I drain it out all 4 bleeder valves or just one. I know the getting air out part
