    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...

    Is it possible..

    lol, as I found out this afternoon. I tried everything to get leverage to hold it in place without bending the fins but I had no luck. I'm just gonna have my mechanic help me out tomorrow.

    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 myself did not get it, my buddy found it when he was passing it for inspection/emissions.

    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?

    '90 coupe vs 93-97 lt1 Z28

    If someone put the same time and money into an LT1 that you put into your car and you lined up with him, it would be the equivalent of you getting tea bagged by an elephant. My last car was an LT1 but I sold it for my present one because I wanted something stick and easy to maintain (and I got...

    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...

    Fuel psi Gauge??

    I'm also looking at getting a Ford Racing Fuel pressure guage off 50resto.com. Is there a reason it says it should be mounted outside of the car? I was gonna get an A-pillar pod.

    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...

    91 GT 5.0 vs 97 z28 LT1

    Either the guy in the F-body was retarded or you are lying. I sold my 95 Formula auto month ago for my present car (wanted something stick) and that ran a 13.8 with a cat-back. I have to say I miss the LT1's low-end grunt, and any person in an LT1 with feet that will reach the pedals will walk...
