    Please help with idle...I just want to drive my car!

    I understand that, but when you talk about valves being out of adjustment are you referenceing rocker adjustment or something to do with the springs. Please bear with me because I am still learning when it comes to some of the more in depth aspects of engine work.

    Please help with idle...I just want to drive my car!

    looks like I got some work ahead of me! Thanks for the help jrichker. That give me somewhere to start. === when you are talking about valves being adjusted wrong or too tight, would you be refering to adjusting the rockers because 2 of my rockers were borderline tight in my opinion and may...

    Please help with idle...I just want to drive my car!

    I ran the codes tonight. I am guessing the 67 has to do with the AOD in the 5spd computer. the others are 85,66,87,96....possibly fuel pump issues? That is KOEO by the way. What type of mechanical problems would you suspect with this issue.

    Please help with idle...I just want to drive my car!

    when i unplug it the engine bogs. it does not die, but it just bogs and starts running rough. I disassembled the MAF and cleaned it thouroughly. - I have relied on the surging idle check list heavily(other than the codes which will happen tonight when I get off of work) and I am posting...

    Please help with idle...I just want to drive my car!

    What would I need to do to diagnose that. Would pulling codes tell me that. I never like to hear fried and computer in the same sentence. Maybe a custom tune would help some of my probs.:shrug:

    Finally found the problem

    Well I'm not sure how good the other pistons are, I am going to have the machine shop check them over for me. I question them if 2 cracked like that. If they are good, you really think that just replacing 2 is ok? I'm all about spending less money, but I also want to do it right the first time...

    Finally found the problem

    Actually, the previous owner states that it is a 306. I am going to have the machine shop check all of that to make sure. I the car has 160,000 miles, but even if it has been bored before, it looks likes the bearings and all are stock. Maybe not, but they are pretty worn none the less. If it is...

    Finally found the problem

    Well, as some of you may know, I purchased a cobra a few weeks ago and have been having various problems. After a compression test showing very little compression in cylinders 7 and 8, we decided to go ahead and tear the motor down. Well, I made it to the head gaskets, and they looked ok. Then I...

    Which Headers Will Fit? BBK Equal or Un-Equal?

    has anyone noticed a sound difference between equal and unequal. I have been looking for equals, but I have bbk shorties now and may not waste the time if there is not that much difference. I am all about less hassle!:nice:
