    Diagnosis help...one last time (kinda long)

    The seals look good and I guess I will throw the other $60 into getting the oil separator (sure beats pulling that beast of an intake) OT: I also did the MLPS/Neutral Safety Switch/Transmission selector today. Man is that a PITA...First it wouldn't start unless I had my hand pushing the...

    okay, so just to check, if I get the separator I don't need to tear out the intake and reinstall the baffle right away correct?

    Diagnosis help...one last time (kinda long)

    I am also noticing that I din't reinstall the baffle from the stock lower to the new lower. Darn it, how important is this piece? I replaced the screen and the PCV grommet is that going to stop the oil or should I pull the lower to put the baffle on it? I knew I was forgetting something.

    Diagnosis help...one last time (kinda long)

    Roger that, looks like thats probably the problem. So now what do I do to clean it up. Will the oil just burn up in the combustion chambers or do I need to pull the heads and clean it all out. Do I need to remove the lower and look for a mess there. I just want it all better and soon, so...

    Diagnosis help...one last time (kinda long)

    Yeah the PCV definitely slides in and out VERY easily. So where do I get this screen and how do I know which one to buy? Something I can just run down to the local Schucks (AKA Kragen/Checker) and grab one? Yeah, the hold down bolt was definitely loosened it just wouldn't move. Teh biggest...

    Diagnosis help...one last time (kinda long)

    OKay, well the tune up is where I was heading just wanted to make sure I wasn't wasting my time. I don't have a timing light, do you think I should break down and buy one or is there another way? I know that the link says you should be able to spin the distributor but I couldn't It was weird...

    Okay, I have posted this issue kinda before but I wll post it one more time because something new has propagated...all help is appreciated. 1.) Car idles really really weird ever since my intake install. Its kinda like a rythmic beat, and the car shakes...you can especially feel this at low...

    PCV doesn't seal to manifold. . .how do I fix it?

    Yeah thats why I was asking, I noticed when I did my intake swap that the grommet was pretty loose and I have recently had problems with idle but I think thats all timing related. Thanks!

    PCV doesn't seal to manifold. . .how do I fix it?

    Okay, so thats obvious enough, but what actual SYMPTOMS might it cause in the operation of the vehicle?

    PCV doesn't seal to manifold. . .how do I fix it?

    Maybe this a stupid question but what kind of problems might a loose fitting grommet cause?

    checked codes, could be wrong

    I got that same code after my intake swap. I guess while I was removing the connection to the elbow I broke the little green plastic-like tube. I simply fixed the break in the tube and the code went away. If you want a picture I can get you one, but its just a little green tube that I believe...

    The Problems Continue

    I don't think there is any trans cooler on there, its not on the part list for the new tranny (I didn't own the car then) and I haven't added one. Its weird, its not really a lot of heat but it is heat and it can get quite warm most noticably at night time. I did recently do the intake swap...

    The Problems Continue

    22 views and no ideas AT ALL??? Okay...do you think it might be the computer? It hasn't done it again since so maybe it was just an electrical fluke?

    The Problems Continue

    Okay so I have posted several times with several problems, none of which have been fixed: 1.) Car starts, runs fine in park, shift into Drive or Reverse, car will die OVER and OVER! 2.) Large amounts of heat coming from center console and up through the emergency brake. Okay so before I...

    A side effect of it's MI origin?

    I dunno what it is but my car seems to despise being ran or at least started in the heat. Maybe it has something to do with its Michigan roots. In either case, everytime I start the car in the middle of the day (90-110 deg.) the car will start fine, then as soon as I shift into reverse or...

    If it ain't one thing...its another!!!

    Once its running it runs like a champ, its only at start up, and really only at semi cold start up. I thought it sealed perfectly and that we had made all connections but I am going to check them today and retorque the lower bolts just to be sure.

    If it ain't one thing...its another!!!

    Hello again, Okay, so I just completed my intake swap as you all know. I don't know if this is related or not but a diagnosis would be appreciated. Since about yesterday the car will start up just fine and then when I shift to drive it'll die. Shift to neutral, start her up, shift to...

    Here's the pics from my intake swap....

    It did take a long time ~13 hours for me. Really the problem was toward the end the EGR tube didn't want to connect to the elbow right so I just got really frustrated. If I did it again, I could do it in under 6 with no problem. It took about 3 hours to get everything off. The time consumers...
