    Where is the IAC valve located?

    I have been having the following symptoms.. poor idle at times; difficulty holding idle upon cold startup (although I'm not really considering this due to my cam); running rough (almost like its missing); bucking while driving, particularly around 1900-2000K; change in exhaust tone at times...

    Alternator Noise??

    My battery died today, so I replaced it. My voltage has been reading low for the past few days and I have UD pullies, so I saw it coming. I replaced the battery, the car started fine. However, the voltage is still reading 8.5-9, even when I get the RPMs up. So tomorrow I'm going to swap in a...

    Play in clutch pedal

    Starting little while ago my clutch would get an inch or 2 of play at the top part of its travel. Like its loose for the first 2 inches when I go to press it down. This would make me put it all the way to the floor to shift, and its notchy and sometimes takes some muscle to get it into gear...

    Steeda 1/4 window molding covers

    Has anybody had any experience with these? My 1/4 window moldings are eroded and if these things work like they claim they do, it will be worth the $90.

    Problems amplified

    I recently had a new EGR valve, bad baro sensor, and bad O2 sensor replaced. The car was running rich. Before, I was having problems with surging around 1850-2000 and once the car warmed up the idle would drop to like 750-800 and it would run rough, with surging worse. Since I've replace...

    Computer tune

    My car runs rough/can't hold an idle at startup in the morning, unless its a hot day. The condition is worse at colder temperatures. I had my mechanic check for vacuum leaks but nothing turned up, so it must be the cam. My question is, can I have my computer tuned/get a chip to better accept...

    Barometer sensor?

    I need a new one of these, it reads the air pressure and right now mine is reading at about 80 Htz, about half of what it should. I also need a new EGR valve. Where can I get these parts cheap?

    Vapor canister?

    I have a problem of the car smelling of exhaust when the windows down, had it checked out and no leaks turned up. I replaced the hatch seal since the old one was beat and I thought it might be creating a vacuum and sucking the exhaust back in the car, but the smell is still there. I heard that...

    This is really pissing me off..

    This happens just about every time I start up the car when is cold/cooler.. After about 2 minutes of driving the car's exhaust tone changes and there is a big loss in power (is this "bogging"?). It happens more often when the car is going up a hill, and if I really stand on the pedal I get a...

    Interesting noises

    A few days ago I noticed 2 new noises. The one is a ticking sound that sounds like its coming from the valvetrain (more noticable when car is in gear/under load, and at times it also squeeks like a bad belt). The other is a noise that sounds like you're running a pencil or something against a...

    Help with vacuum..

    I'm not to mechanically knowledged yet (which is why I bought my present car from a friend a lil while ago, to learn) and I have a few problems that may be related based upon my searches here.. My car won't hold an idle upon cold startup in the morning and runs rough for about 1-2 minutes...

    Experiences with AFR 185's?

    I'm looking to get a set of heads for my setup, and I'm leaning towards the 185's. What can I realistically expect from these power-wise?

    Stupid cats

    I need to get some cats on my car to pass emissions here in PA. With my setup in my sig, what should I do? I'm not looking to spend a ridiculous amount on cats here.. I just want something decent that's going to pass and get rid of the stink.

    How do I adjust the timing?

    I just got my car and the previous owner retared the timing because he wanted a little more lump with the cam. It has a big cam, 1.7's, BBK shorties, x-pipe, flows, BBK air intake, UD pullies.. how do I do this and what setting should I start with? It stalls every morning when I start it and...

    Is this a misfire?

    I just got my car about 3 days ago and its been raining here since.. The car has a big cam in it, in my own opinion too big for the other mods it has (BBK shorties, 1.6s, UD pullies, full exhaust w/2 chamber flows, etc.). When I start it up in the morning I have to keep the RPMs up a little...

    Just picked up my new whip..

Both the people that had it are mechanics and I...

    Seats?

    Does anybody have any bias towards any specific racing seats? I'm looking to get a pair for a decent price. So far I've seen nice ones for $250 a pop.. Thanks.

    I'm crossing over..

    ..to the dark side. I am selling my 95 Trans Am because I found a steal of a deal on an 89 M5 5.0 LX. I've wanted a foxbody for a while and I want something stick. And we all know nothing beats the sound of a 302 with cam and exhaust. Here are the details: 140,000 on body, 38,000 since...
