Technical Requests for Assistance.
Those posting for assistance, please take notice.
N.B. A great deal of time and effort is expended by many here in answering technical questions. It is becoming prevalent for those asking for help, to put only the minimum of effort into posting proper details. It is understood that many may lack word skills, but lack of effort confirms sheer selfishness. (1) Please, think on the subject before asking, and set out the problem in a logical order. In this regard use the return key. Separate each point within a paragraph. (2) Please, appreciate that tabulating paragraphs, (1), (2), (3) ---- , will assist both the writer, and most importantly those posting replies, by providing easily nominated reference points. (3) Please, put yourself in the place of a reader offering you their help. Consider whether your wording could be in any way confusing; not exact; lack some important detail. Ask yourself, am I putting as much effort into this my request, as I am expecting others to kindly give freely in return? (4) Please, use the preview button, reconsider carefully, and edit before finally posting. (5) Please, please, please. --- Carefully decide on a thread heading so that your query is properly described. Stupid headings ensure that those kindly offering assistance, are called upon to scroll through endless threads, in order to decide which may fall within their area of expertise. (6) Please, please, do not insert an unrelated request for assistance within an existing thread, such that this will add complication and confusion. Convoluted technical threads are tending to become the order of the day and this is causing endless frustration. (7) Frankly --- Those who might regard the above suggestions as representing an unnecessary burden, exhibit absolute selfishness and do not warrant the kindness on offer here. (8) Reading Threads --- It is noticeable that often specific answers to a problem, become over ridden as a result of superfluous posts. Those requiring information should always back track to their last post, so that they do not miss out on vital information sometimes concealed. (9) It is important that information posted as a technical fact is exactly correct, as other members will make this assumption and act on advice posted. As a result incorrect information could be very much to their disadvantage. In the event that an error of this sort of becomes posted, for the good of all, it should be queried and corrected. A check list has been suggested. Therefore I now provide what should be helpful ---- Please, include the following vital information:- 1.) Year, mileage and where originally sold. (JDM, USDM, etc.) 2.) Modifications that could in any way be related to the issue. 3.) Advise in detail exactly what was happening when the malfunction became evident. Every clue is important and helpful in respect of an accurate diagnosis. 4.) Report any environmental circumstances accompany the problem (e.g. only happens when it is raining.) 5.) Detail the current state of troubleshooting (i.e. Exactly what has already been attempted in an effort to fix the issue.) 6.) Use your eyes and ears. Report all sounds, warning lights, and associated malfunction that accompany the problem. 7.) Advise level of technical experience - No use telling someone that a specific pulsoid or check valve may be involved, if they do not have a grasp of technical terms.

Trevor, I could not possibly agree with you more.
I 2nd submitting this post as a sticky. I would also like to suggest that we provide some kind of template, such as the one that exists in the "For Sale" forums. For example. Before proceeding, have you preformed a search on this issue? 1.) Year, mileage and market of SVX (JDM, USDM, etc) 2.) Upgrades or Modifications that may be related to the issue. 3.) What was happening when the malfunction became evident, and what, if any environmental circumstances accompany the problem(i.e. only happens when raining) 4.) The current state of troubleshooting (what have you tried thus far to fix the issue) 5.) Sounds, trouble codes, warning lights that may accompany the problem. 6.) Level of technical experience - No use telling someone that a specific pulsoid or check valve may be dead if they don't have a grasp on these terms. I think this would remind people to tell us every relevant detail. Often people are in a hurry, and a checklist of some kind would go a long way toward getting the issue resolved more quickly -Patrick

Stuck!
Thanks Trevor and Patrick Both valuable posts. I think ironing out that checklist and using it as you say will be very helpful.

I am new to this site and anxious to see how this works. Initially, I want to say to Trevor that I will make a deliberate attempt to follow his guidance. It is not difficult to grasp the frustration. My '97 will go into the shop tomorrow, if they can fit it in. If not, I will do my level best as a non-tech to do a complete systematic diognostic for my next post.

Trevor and Patrick have just made a great suggestion here, for a sticky and a template.
I have often wondered, when posting a tech question, if I was being too wordy, or not providing enough detailed information. A standardized checklist would be very useful indeed.

Re: Technical Requests for Assistance.
Hello from Ohio !
I have a ‘94 FWD in excellent overall condition. The car spent its entire existence in SW Florida, until I brought it up to North East Ohio earlier this year. I have been having overheating issues, and have come to the conclusion that my head gaskets need to be replaced. My question is, are there any reputable shops in my area that are also familiar with the EG33 ? The car has 197k miles, but is in such great shape, I’m leaning toward making the investment to have this work done. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated ! Phil |

Re: Technical Requests for Assistance.
I did a quick Google search find an independent shop really close to you, only 17 minutes and he seems to be a certified tech. He's definitely going to be cheaper than a dealer.

In view of the confused and frustrating threads which have recently developed, it is a shame that the admin did not follow through and fully support this decade old sticky which heads up the Technical Forum but unfortunately does not become noticed as it is more or less concealed..

Re: Technical Requests for Assistance.
95 SVX with 86,000 miles
I'm replacing the crank sensors with mid 90's legacy ones and I was thinking about doing the cam sensor at the same time. Are the cam and crank sensors the same except for the harness ends? |

Re: Technical Requests for Assistance.
Hello Pookajon,
Why would you want to use parts for other models? For reference, I looked up the part number for the cam and crank angle sensor for my SVX. The part number of crank angle sensor is 22053AA020 and it of crank angle sensor is 22056AA030. I don't know your car's VIN so I don't know if it's the same, but probably all SVX's have the same engine. And, it seems that are available. https://partsouq.com/shop/product/22...shaft/17629805 https://partsouq.com/shop/product/22...nksha/13864463 Maybe you can buy it in your country too. I recommend using the original parts if available. PS. you need two 22056AA030 and one 22053AA020 for one EG33 engine. |
