Chythar - I am going to order once I get back from Cancun so that the parts are not sitting outside my house or at a UPS location. What did you gap your plugs at for the kit because I saw in Performance Distributors that you can gap all the way to .060 I believe? Also, do you have any tips for...

Hey Guys and Gals - Anyone use this kit? Is it worth it? It's time for a tune-up and I was wondering if I should splurge on this or use the money elsewhere. 5.0 Ignition Products

I swapped out the sending unit yesterday while doing an oil change and the needle is perfect now. Thanks for the advice guys. Also I highly recommended the wrench for anyone doing this swap it made it really easy.

Thanks for the replies I will swap it out tomorrow morning and hopefully that will solve the problem. Or maybe my motor is starting to crap out on me and it will be rebuild time! Either way a win win for my car :D but a loss loss to my bank account :nonono:

This is a totally newbie question but I can't find it anywhere through the search function. My oil pressure gauge is acting crazy. It's fluctuating from normal to 0 and back with no pattern. I'm pretty sure it is my Oil Pressure Sending Unit from all the posts I read however I can't figure...

Currently I am running the stock ignition and coil. Is that alright with the MSD box suggested because I was just looking to buy one thing and be done with it?

I'm looking for a MSD Box so that I can retard my timing when I want to run the nitrous and when I don't I can drive around with normal timing. Any recommendations? I was riding around at like 8-10 degrees last summer and the car felt sluggish without nitrous and I'm sick of it. I found the...

Thanks for the help so far guys but I just don't have the time right now because of my internship. I am going to get it towed by AAA to a mechanic who did some work on my mom's car. I will keep you guys updated if you want just let me know. Thanks again for all the suggestions I just wish I...

I tested for fuel by depressing the schrader valve and fuel squirted upward so I'm pretty sure its not fuel. This is really stumping me. I have fuel and spark yet the car does not run.

I tested for spark like you guys said and I got a red spark from the #5 wire. So I am getting spark. I am leaning towards a fuel issue now. I am going to take of the filter first and I will post results. Any other ideas?

I will try to test the ignition system like The_Mustang said and I will post results shortly. Thanks for the ideas so far.

I am a little confused on how to test for spark with the timing light. Can someone elaborate clearly in a step by step procedure and after this I will check the fuel system. Thanks.

Yes my fuel pump turns on and I do hear the clicking sound. My car sounds like it wants to start but it just doesn't. It is very strange. No I don't have a fuel pressure gauge on my car.

I'm making a new thread off an older one I made about a week ago that died and I also want to explain it better. I am really stumped. About a week back my car went really low on gas because it was late and no gas stations were open until I came to an Exxon. It was really close to "E". I got...

No I don't have a superchip or any chip for that matter and I will try to mess with the EGR valve tomorrow.

Sorry its been a while but I have finally had a day off from my internship. I had a warrantee on my distributor so I returned it for a brand new one hoping that was the problem. However, I still have the same problem. A friend had a similar problem and said it was the EGR valve could this be...

Ok so for my next step I should invest in a fuel pressure gauge. I am also going to swap out my old spark plugs for some new ones in case they are possibly fouled. I will also check my fuel filter. I hear my fuel pump priming when I turn the key on so does this mean it is working? I will let...

Well I finally had time to try out the code reader and I received code 111 which is system passed which is good but at the same time upsetting because I am clueless as to what it is and hopefully it is something stupid. I could only perform the KOEO tests since my car won't run. I also tried...

I'lll double check my connections but what do I need to buy for the fuel pressure gauge. Don't I need an adapter of some sort? I think I remember reading that.

Does the code puller check that or do I have to buy a fuel pressure gauge?
