WTG Mafioso!!! Nixx glad to hear you got her fixed. Nice write up btw and this should be faq'd.

 

Much kudos to both you and Mafioso for nailing this pesky problem on your own and then posting the details here. I know you are greatly relieved to pass your local inspection and hopefully you have many trouble-free miles ahead of you now. I'm just sorry that you had to spend a significant amount of money with shops who apparently didn't have the expertise to help you. Hopefully that's all in the past for you now....

 

Excellent!
Good photos, too.

 

Maybe the thread would be improved if you posted the part number.

 

I'm sorry you missed the part number, it's listed just below the picture of the resonator.

 

Oh! Sorry!

 

Maybe you should try the $5 plastic epoxy fix instead

 

Yeah.. I thought of that.. I also thought of completely bypassing the resonator with a straight piece of pipe as well. At that point I really just wanted everything fixed so I could get my car inspected. For $99 I got a new denso valve actuator, new hoses, a resonator and a shiny new black bracket. lol!

 

I wondered about "this" fix.

 

MIGHTY MEND IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Glad its resolved and you have fallen back in love with your kitty cat!

 

Hahahah!

 

mafioso great job!

Can you tell us how you found it? The gas tank seals looked like they might be the problem at one time too??

When I opened his hood and he started the engine I heard an abnormal hiss spending so much time under the hood measuring and plotting my evil plans I've learned what noises are normal and what aren't my first thought was the pass side PCV which the o ring was worn out so we replaced that. Then the orings to the PCV diaphragm and the hiss got better and the map sensor readings got better but the hiss returned so we went down the whole evaporate circuit and he noticed the resonator was cracked and bam fixed.


Btw on our quick connectors harbor freight sells an oring box for $10 assortment box. Which does have the rings that fit perfect in the connectors I urge people to get a box to refresh the connectors.

 

Thanks for that. I too was wondering how you'd found it. The shop who'd had it ought to know hiss=problem!

Do you have a part # and maybe even make for that O-ring box please? It's not going to be realistic to order from here but maybe I can track down an equivalent. (I have smaller plumbing-type boxes but could do with car ones.)

 

Yessir I can look it up here in a minute if anyone is interested I can buy a box shove all the oranges in a package and mail it to you. Save you on shipping

 

Here is the link for the o-ring kit, although a little execessive in the variety a good buy none the less.

I didn't even know what harbor freight was! Good offer on the fruit, thanks

 

If you want I can go buy it leave out the massive o rings that wont be needed and put them in a small envelope and ship it as a letter. haha

 

Actually I have envelopes so no need

(We don't even have AutoZone here. What we have suck.)

 

just let me know, and I'll go get one tonight or soon and get it in the mail.
