Problems Problems Problems.........
I have about four problems right now. There are more, but I know "how" to fix them.
1) I have gas leaking out where the gas cap is. HOW IN THE WORLD DO YOU FIX THAT?!?!?!?!
2) My car is getting harder to start, it takes three turns of the key before it starts. I just put in an MSD last month. What is dying, do you suppose it might be the flywheel's teeth are ground down?
3) Driving home my CHECK ENGINE Light blinked. When I got home, I tried to jump the plug to show the code, but it didn't show any codes, the light didn't even come on.
4) I am trying to put a 1992 GM radio into my 1985 Z. I finally got the wiring harness for it, but realized that the antenna plug is too big for the hole.
I went to all of the places that I can think of and they couldn't help. I did find out that the hole is for a "GM Mini Plug" not a universal.
Does anybody know if anybody would carry some sort of an adapter?
Thanks,
Jesse

1. Leaking out the cap? Is it on tight? perhaps time for a new one??
2. What do you mean by hard to start? Does it make a grinding noise? Do you have to crank a long time before it starts? Help us out here.
3. If the light came on, then went off and stayed off, I would not be too concerned. Unless of course, it starts doing so on a regular basis.
4. Crutchfield. You should be able to find them online, they can get you whatever you need. Cheaply.

#1) the cap is 1 year old. I have brand new ones that do the same thing. I noticed that there is a small dimple on the filler neck, maybe it comes out of there. I need a way to seal that. suggestions?
#2) untill today, it would just turn over and wouldn't start until I stopped holding the key. I had to turn the key three times, then the engine finally started.
#2b) Today and last night it started up just fine right after turning the key.
#3) The light came on, at the same place, doing the same thing. strait and level driving barely pressing the accelerator. The light stayed on for about 10-30 seconds and then turned off. I checked for codes when I got home and I got code 12(nothing wrong). I have to drive from Colorado back to New Mexico on Sunday.
#4)I should have a connnecter soon.
Thanks,
Jesse
