Yes, I have one. I am coming to Tucson on the 15th and would be happy to give you a hand if that will not be too late. Drop me a PM with your phone number and we will coordinate a time and place. I will be there till either friday afternoon or saturday morning. I will bring all of my wiring harness stuff to do the solenoid flushes.

When are you coming to Austin???:wink: :wink: :wink:
Quick thanks to Brad (OLDMNSX). What can you say about a guy who flys into your hometown with all the tools you need to fix your ABS system, then spends an entire evening teaching you all of the technical workings of the the system complete with color coded diagrams, and then takes you step by step through the process......and then asks for nothing in return? Wow......thanks Brad. Class act. Let me know when you need your CCU rebuilt :smile: .
ABS Info for those interested:
I've read posts that stated it may be "normal" for the ABS pump to run for a short period (3-20 seconds) after the first startup each day (after the car actually moves forward of course). I'm not sure that's entirely true. Mine never used to run then suddenly started running for 5-10 seconds every morning. I'm pretty sure one of the solenoids had something (foreign particle) holding it open and allowing back flow into the reservoir and causing overflow. Before Brad and I flushed the system, I'm pretty sure the particle had already freed itself because the reservoir level dropped back down (minus what had spilled out) but the pump still ran each morning. When Brad and I flushed the system there was a lot of air/foam (probably from the ABS pump pushing the fluid backwards up into the reservoir and then back down the inlets). I'm thinking this air effected the accumulators ability to hold the correct pressure overnight. Once we flushed and bled the system the pump no longer runs and the system stays pressurized.
Conclusion: If your ABS runs a lot....do the flush. Thanks again, Brad.
