New here from New Jersey
I've posted once before and I really wanted to post in the general sr20 forums but I still can't :\ anyway, i've got a few specific questions, hopefully this catches some eyes. I just picked my 240 about 2 weeks ago so i don't know much.

1) I noticed this weird rattle-ish ticking sound after draining all coolant and replacing the tstat, any ideas? IMG3371 - YouTube youtube destroyed the quality..you can barely hear it now but its still there just vaguely.
2) temp gauge, speedo, and fuel gauge don't work. speedo i know is the speed sensor and i'm not gonna end up messing with that, to much of a headache. I assumed the fuel gauge worked but i put 20$ in it the other day cause gauge read about 1/8 full and the guy ended up giving me money back cause it didn't take the full 20. it was reading a little over half after that. not sure how to fix that. and then we have the temp gauge...reads cold almost all of the time until it jumps to 1/4 for a min then back down. like i said i replaced the tstat, so i'm thinking coolant temp sensor?
3) the car was originally stalling when decelerating. that was because of what i assumed to be a bad bov. i replaced the tial Q that was on there with a tial QR but it continued to act up. after messing with some vacc hoses i'm pretty sure the bov just NEEDS to be recirculated cause the car was compensating with fuel for the air the MAF read that was being vented.... so does that sound correct?
4) now i'm pretty sure that's correct. i was gonna try it today, but i can't find a T peice to connect the 3/4 inch hose from the pipe near the throttle onto the one on the engine block, and then on to the bov. bov has what looks like a 1in fitting, so where can i get something like that? whether its a premolded hose or 3 hoses with a T peice, idc. tried local parts stores, nothing like that there. home depot, lowes, nothing there either. why is this so hard to find? lmao
thanks in advance
