    May sound stupid but check the rubber tubing connecting your fuel pump to the fuel lines. (in tank) Pain in the ass - but it almost sounds like there's a fuel shortage. Hear how it almost just dies out after hitting 2k rpms on the turn over. The cam sounds like it's looping funny b/c no gas...

    88 CA-Stang Miserable Smog W/Pics!

    So after taking the car to a smog test and repair...the guys didn't charge me because, "Couldn't find/diagnose properly...but you have weak cats" Then they proceeded to tell me that they have a specialist who, mind you for 120$ can come in and properly diagnose. Anybody out there have any...

    88 CA-Stang Miserable Smog W/Pics!

    Yeah she was up to op temp for the second test. I think you maybe right with, "fixing one, creates another" idea. I checked the map pressure was good, cleaned the MAF, checked for pinches(nada) It's actually at a test and repair place off the smogcheck.ca.gov website near my zip. 60$ for the...

    140mph Inst.Panel Chip on back *Pics Incl.*

    Thanks everybody. my guess was right about the, "slosh" chip. I've seen people cry about being sold one on ebay and it not coming with one. So lucky me. Thanks to Fox Fire 5.0 (760-598-3322) for the parts. They had everything i was looking for....cheap.....and they were local in San...

    LS1 Computer??

    interesting.....would it still try and throw the three digit codes? Pxxx. Does the TB still have the same vol input system? So if the pedal is under load it knows the same advancing ignition? very cool idea.
