after reading a few threads, i want to try to clean all the connectors on CAS , but don't have a clue where it is.

i know, i'm mechanically challenged, but trying to learn from some of the experts on this board.

any tips and pictures as to how?

also, how much is rebuilt ECU worth?

LAQ... Look at the engine from the front... On the right hand side there is a piece of plastic cladding on the very front of the engine, and from right there you can look down and youll see a round thing coming out with a connector on the top... this is the CAS. I know somewhere theres a picture posted, and Id take a picture if I had a FUNCTIONAL digicam...

For more orientation, its even with the canister (black round thing, kinda liooks likea small bucket with hoses coming out of it) except on the engine. If I recall its easier to see on the 90-93 for some reason....

If you cant find it I'll figure out a way to get a picture on here for you...

Just watch out as 0.18" movement is 10 degrees.......you have to learn how to FINE adjust in 0.02" steps.

Misadjustment in ignition advance [a greater than +- 2.0 degrees can cause real problems].

okay,so i took the CAS off and saw corrosion on the connecting part.i sprayed the whole can of cleaner on both ends, self-checked the ECU. NO MORE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT!!!!

car runs smooth, although i think now it can use new plugs from elwesso (hopefully soon)

man, i am a happy camper.thanks nico fellas
