Without being there to see what you are doing, it is hard to advise from a computer terminal. Some of your problems might come from your parts source. I would never buy or suggest anyone buy that junk from Auozone, Napa or any of the others. The out of the box failure rate is extremely high on that junk. After you've busted your ass for hours the counterman in tha air conditioned store smiles as he hands you another one under warrantee. Do the math, man. You pay $85.00 for a part that has been marked up by a retailer, a jobber, a wholesaler, a distributor, and a rebuilder. That is 5 markups. How much time and material do you think that rebuilder can afford to put into that product? I just saw this the other day at a shop in my area. The owner got a master cylinder from Napa. The first one leaked, the second one wouldn't bleed, and finally the third one worked. About a year ago a friend needed a starter in his turbo diesel. His wife works in the warehouse for Kragen so she got th starter for about $105.00. I went to his place and smcked his old starter with a hammer so the car wouldn't need to be towed to my shop. I installed the Kragen starter, and he called me a week later saying the wasn't starting again and he thought he needed a battery. I told him that he needed a starter. I installed a bosch rebuilt starter which was consideably more expensive, but he hasn't had a problem since. Sine he's a good friend, I didn't charge him for my time. I'm sure others will disagree with me, but I value my time.
