    Long time problem, help please!!!

    Have you pulled your codes? Jrichker has made several posts with links to pulling them yourself with just a jumper wire. That will probably help track down your problem a great deal. Off the top of my head.. When you did the exhuast you hooked the o2's back up right? It could also be a timing...

    Anyway I can use a truck lower intake...

    If you decide to go with the truck lower I have one I'll let got for very cheap. I also have the upper and throttle body (the dual design) if your interested. I dont want much of anything for them.. I need to make room, =]

    How difficult is an electric fan to install?

    Michael, I wasnt meaning "cheap" as in crappy, I was just meaning "cheap" as compared to what choices are out there. ie, I'm looking for the best bang for my buck. I dont intend to skimp on something as important as my cooling system. I'll look into the fans you suggested.

    How difficult is an electric fan to install?

    Thanks for that link Michael. Ive been thinking about converting to electric for a while and that little controller looks like a damn fine way to go about it. Just out of curiosity, What fan would you recommend? I need something to provide adaquate cooling at the cheapest possible price, heh...

    Odd question.. Spark plug wire length?

    I think I'm gonna do that, just pull what I have. Problem is the ones on there now are kinda random, heh. They were peiced together from like 3 other sets as a means to test the engine and make sure it all ran when the swap was more or less done. Half of em dont fit right, lol. I feel ya on...

    Odd question.. Spark plug wire length?

    I bought some new wires today as I suspect one or more of mine are arcing. Problem is they didnt have the ones I was after in a custom fit set, so I went with the universal. I was hoping someone might know (for whatever odd reason..) the approx. lengths of the custom fit wires. Normally it...

    why does my 1/4 time suck so bad??

    Yeah.. Sounds like traction problems to me. Sub Frame Connectors, new Control Arms and some slicks for a start.

    Where are your gauges power to?

    I have mine spliced into the stereo lead. If your intending on running several I wouldnt really go that route if you have an aftermarket stereo hooked up though. As Hissin said it can overload the circuit. I only have one gauge hooked up and I run a high end Alpine head unit with no trouble...

    EGR Valve opening at idle?

    I'm not 100% certain but I beleive it is. The little turd has some mileage on it anyway so I'm gonna go ahead and replace it regardless I think. Having it fix my problem would be a bonus though, lol. Its just odd cause it takes 30 seconds to start acting up, then as soon as the engines up...

    EGR Valve opening at idle?

    Welp, just went out and tried it (god its cold..), The problem is with cold starts so I started it up and unplugged the EGR's vac line and covered the hole in the EGR valve with my thumb. I held it that way and sure enough, about 30 seconds passed and the idle dropped, it started smoking and...

    Code Question! (I did a search already)

    I only have one o2 in my truck. The pipes come down from the flanges and lay on top of one another and go into the cat, which sits maybe a foot behind the engine. The o2 sits in a little bridge between the two pipes. This exhuast is horrible though. The pipes are really short, so basicly as soon...

    EGR Valve opening at idle?

    Allrighty, let me run something by you guys. I think my EGR valve is opening at idle after the engines been running for about 30 seconds to a minute. I made a post earlier about some codes being thrown and was instructed to pull the EGR and clean/check it. Well, it seemed to pass the tests...

    Code Question! (I did a search already)

    This is in relation to checking the EGR as suggested. I pulled the valve off the plate and there were two holes. The top has the valve itself in it and the bottom has nothing. I sprayed it with some carb cleaner then put a little Simple Green in the open hole and positioned it so it would sit...

    Code Question! (I did a search already)

    Ahh ok, excellent. I'll pull the EGR valve off and clean it up and see what I can accomplish. This could be a potential cause of my problem then? I dont actually have idle issues exactly. It just idles and runs poorly until it gets heated up, then its pretty smooth. Welp, I'm gonna go...

    Code Question! (I did a search already)

    k, those codes differ slightly from that website said. The o2 sensor is pretty old. 50k+ I would assume, so I'll go ahead and replace it. As to the EGR error, would this be in the EVR or the EGR sensor itself? Thanks, =]

    Code Question! (I did a search already)

    Ok, first off, thanks to Jrichker for his posts on how to pull codes with the CE light. Your a life saver. Anyway, I went out this morning and did the KOEO and KOER test and got a couple codes that I then looked up (troublecodes.net). I wanted to run em by folks to make sure I got the right...
