how to get water and condensation from front head light
Drying it out with compressed air in summer time through the bulb opening is just about the best way. And the above: make sure the drains are clean

Pehaps you haven't realised I am using stand alone SCS Delta ECU that can run fuel pump. The existing fuel pump can be used as low pressure pump (the high pressure is in the head activated by camshaft). Fuel pump will keep return line as ECU can only run it at constant speed, same as it is in the ca...

Bit of a tricky one - car cutting out whist driving
Check the clutch switch (it tells PCM you have applied the clutch). It could be either the switch is acting, or the wiring (read connector) problem. It is just on top of the pedal assembly, same as the brake light switch. Also, with hestitant throttle response clean MAF with some brake cleaner (the ...

I believe it was Goerge Best who said: “I spent 95% of money on booze, birds, and fast cars. The rest I just squandered.” So, even by that definition and those standards, you are spending money, not wasting it!

Tailgate Issue
The tailgates are both the same. The accident has thrown the rear of the car out of position and hence it does not fit.

The key was not cut properly. That happens when it was not done as it should. Try applying some WD40 with straw to the lock inside; it might help

Which state in USA? Puma won't last long in NY, MA etc because of their salty winters. Arizona on the other hand would be perfect! Where I live, we have salty and very salty winters (road gets covered with mixture of gravel and salt to prevent freezing, or to promote melting of snow and ice). If yo...

The first 3 items that spring to my mind: coilpack, the plastic termostate housing and the infamous heat control valve.

There is a procedure to bleed the ABS unit by diagnostic equipment if it traps some air. However, if you fill the system properly and pressurize it while adding the brake fluid, it should drive the air out

Using feeler gauge should be possible to measure the gap. At least at front as it is doable there without problems. If you have replaced sensors, have you cleaned the hubs so the sensor can go in all the way? The rings could be deformed, it is very easy to do when you are taking out the sensors whic...
