#Markx engine full
A full on shop with the appropriate equipment should be able to do it all. There are some things that I'm not capable of doing but i'm just one guy.
#Markx engine professional
I can currently access 90% of new cars with a professional scanner that cost me about $4000.00, not a big price for a pro. Some of this "inaccessibility" is actually designed in. After 45 years in the collision repair business I can attest to the fact that manufactures have been able to "find a way" to make access available after enough pressure was applied.
#Markx engine upgrade
Perhaps one day there will be a superior motor upgrade for all systems! I wouldn’t even do the aluminum bushings - I hate unnecessary NVH - but since you did, I reckon you’ve done all you can to improve the Mark’s vague electric steering. Since the tires are significantly larger (and the tiller smaller) than old-school rides with no power assist, just a single maneuver into a tight parking spot shall make you regret this decision. Unlike my power steering-free Ford Sierra, the Mark X is a heavy vehicle with an engine above the turning wheels. But your tiller will definitely hate you tugging against that poor leather wrapping with every labored yank on the wheel. If common sense and GM recalls are any indication, these systems are designed to operate even when the motors fail to provide assist. Your second question? Go ahead and pull the fuse (or disconnect the wiring harness) to the assist motor. That’s a small price to pay for the extra protection. If the motor’s new to the synthetic stuff, it might leak in a few spots (oil filter adapter gasket), but hopefully it’s no worse than when I made the switch on my Mark VIII. It’s not gonna change anything for a long, long time. Run synthetic oil and let the motor rattle when cold. Sure, there are chain guide upgrades to Ford’s Modular V8, but considering these motors are good for well over 250,000 miles before losing significant amounts of power… why bother? hot oil) effectively silenced my rattling timing chain guides upon cold start. Just last week I noted how Houston’s triple digit weather (i.e. The forum posts you mentioned mirror the “problem” I have with my ’95 Lincoln Mark VIII. To your first query, cold start rattles are annoyances at this point on the depreciation curve. How cool is it to get a Piston Slap query from Myanmar? Very cool, as recent events encourage me to get another stamp on my passport. I looked for the answer on the interwebs but couldn’t find any - would running the electric power steering system without power assist harm the innards of the system or not? I find a lot of people encouraging it as an enthusiast’s option, but no mention of possible harm to the steering system or not. For better steering feedback for the EPS system, I’m thinking of pulling the fuse for the electric steering. The problem is, once I start to turn the steering wheel (this being electric steering), it’s floaty and I still can’t feel how far I’ve turned the wheels! I never thought a car with so much feedback on center would have problems with feel while off-center.
The on-center feel improved a whole lot, and I now have this hands-on-asphalt feel in a Toyota midsize sedan. So I swapped out the steering rack bushes with aluminum ones (pretty hardcore, huh?). What would you do?Īnother problem: I think the Mark X is well made and mostly a nice car, but I have gripes with its (surprise!) steering feel. If it is a real issue that threatens engine failure, I’ll get it fixed.
So, if there are makeshift fixes that’ll hold it up until I let it go in a year or so, I’d like to know. Mine is a 2005 model with more than 100,000 miles on it, so I wouldn’t want to spend a substantial amount of money if it’s not necessary. The issue’s well known and attributed to the cam gears in the VVTI system. It’s got the 2.5-liter 4GR-FSE engine, and I’ve had this cold start rattle for a few seconds every morning, and sometimes during the day as well. Forbidden in the U.S., and of interest to many JDM enthusiasts, I happen to think it’s just a stretched Lexus IS 250 (but not quite a GS). Hailing from Myanmar, I have a first-gen Toyota Mark X.
