    Help me create the "Surging Idle Checklist"

    Thanks, I appreciate the info and will pass it on. Still wondering why there's no code 11 considering I was able to drop the other codes.

    Help me create the "Surging Idle Checklist"

    Trying to help my brother resolve a misfire... We dumped the codes with a test light, but didn't get a code 11. It started with code 4, then dumped codes 31, 44, 94. I know, "no code 11 means wiring problems" but why would it still dump codes of the computers internal workings are OK and it...

    Running No Cats?

    That's exactly what I experienced! A significant power loss with the Catted x pipe. Now, I put the o/r H pipe in and I just want to make sure it's ok to leave everything as is, or if it's ok to remove the smog pump stuff like the tab/tad and the diverter and bypass valves.

    Running No Cats?

    well right now i have BBK long tube headers, and i have a bbk catted X pipe and a bbk off road H pipe. so its one or the other, i cant go buy another pair of cats. Maybe the bbk cats are high flow, i really dont know. but they make the car a lot quieter.

    Running No Cats?

    can i leave all the smog pump stuff intact and working and just vent the fresh air out the hose instead of into the cats? im thinking this should avoid any trouble that may arise from removing all the smog stuff. i dont want to run into running problems, and i just passed emissions clean as a...

    I Need Some Help With My Electric Fan

    Well it's a little backwards, the green is grounded and the black is spliced into the ac wire, and the red wire from the solenoid does have a fuse. The red Wire in the firewall goes to a fuse, I assume key on power. The knob up top controls the temp at which the fan kicks on. The only thing...

    I Need Some Help With My Electric Fan

    I don't think it has a controller... Unless it's built into the fan. There are no extra parts between the wires and the things I listed. At the top of the fan, where the wires connect, there is a knob to adjust the temperature at which it kicks on.

    I Need Some Help With My Electric Fan

    My electric fan used to work before I deleted my a/c, and now it won't kick on. It has it's own temp sensor. It works when supplied power, but it's supposed to kick On when the car hits 180 degrees. There are 4 wires to the fan. 2 red, one green, and one black. The green goes straight to...

    Freeze Plugs Popped Out

    EDIT: i talked to an engine builder who has many years of experience, and he said if your block freezes it will likely have cracked the block. He said the freeze plugs are not so much for actual freezing as they are used to clean the sand out from the coolant passages after a media blast. If...

    Block Going To Machine Shop In The Am

    well, i dropped off the bare block, and my builder told me its a waste to pressure test it unless it had been overheated or frozen, because these blocks are strong and dont crack. He said its a 1 in 1000 chance of it cracking from anything else given it was in a stock vehicle. So i said thats...
