Changed my CCT gaskets a few months back and in the process removed both cams and of course the cam position sensors. Now I've got the 1522 code which is a malfunction on the drivers side cam sensor. I'm thinking the sensor crapped out because the engine runs as smooth as silk. I hate the...

I posted this in my build thread, but I think it warrants a thread of it's own in case anyone makes the same mistake that I nearly made.

New upper control arms WOW! I've had a loose and rattly upper CA ball joint for over a year now, so I figured it was time to take care of it (thanks to Uncle Sam's admission of excess paycheck theft throughout 2006 ;) ) Although most instructions I've found address FULL disassembly and...

I'm putting my DRL relay back in. Does anyone remember which way it faces in the car? Are the numbers up and down or does it go another way? TIA
