    driveability issues at lower RPM's....idle issue?

    I'm getting a vacuum reading of about 10psi at idle. The throttle blade returns to the set screw once i let off the gas pedal, i don't believe the spring is the problem. Im guessing its some sort of computer/electrical/vacuum issue, probably not mechanical in the sense that the TB doesn't...

    driveability issues at lower RPM's....idle issue?

    I set the TPS voltage to about .98-1.00. Also, no matter where the final idle is, the car will always lag before coming down to that final RPM (I've tried several different idle RPMs by backing off the idle screw).

    driveability issues at lower RPM's....idle issue?

    When I rev up the engine the idle will lag before coming all the way down to its idle of about 900. This presents driveability issues when I'm driving at lower RPM's from 1200 to about 1800 and also when letting off the gas because the engine sorta wants to "push" the car instead of braking...

    Best way to temporarily stop rust from spreading?

    What product works best attached to a drill to get rust off of a car? I have some rust spots that I want to get off as much as possible before I paint over with the POR-15? Steel brush? Some other product?

    Best way to temporarily stop rust from spreading?

    I must admit that the Por 15 website looks like it has some pretty impressive products. Seeing as I've never really done body work though, I wanna make sure I get what I need and don't do a half @##d job. Heres what I wanna do. The rear passenger fender wall has several rust spots that i'm...

    should I use 20w50 synthetic in my 331 Stroker?

    Yea, my engine is definentaly NOT spec'd so I think the tighter clearances are a non issue with my engine. I'm thinking during the hot summer months here in Jersey i'll try and run 20w-50 and see how it goes. In the winter I may run 10w-40 (I now run 10w-30). Thanx.

    What belt to use with ASP 1 7/8" overdrive pulley?

    Yea, thanx bro! I went to Napa and got an equivalent NAPA belt from the part number you gave me. Put it on the car, works great!

    What belt to use with ASP 1 7/8" overdrive pulley?

    Yea thats what I need! Do you have a part number on that belt or what its off of originally? I went to Pepboys and they had no clue which belt would be about an inch shorter than the stock belt, the were completely useless!

    What belt to use with ASP 1 7/8" overdrive pulley?

    I installed my ASP 1 7/8" overdrive pulley on the alternator the other day and when I put the belt back on the car the tensioner was not within the specified range, the belt was to long (FYI I have underdrive pulleys on the car already and have been using a stock belt with no problem up to this...

    Do I need to rebuild or replace my 3G alternator?

    See thats strange because on my old 3G alternator the pulley came right off and I could put it right on the shaft with no problem and no puller. Oh well, i'll just get a puller and then probably just use a rubber mallet and socket to get it back on. Thanx.

    I have numerous rust spots on my car, with the worst on the rear passenger fender well and hatch....its coming through the body in both places. The paint is in good shape everywhere else since I had the car painted a couple of years ago at MAACO (yea I know, that was a mistake but it was cheap...

    Fried my alternator!

    I got a remanufacterd Autolite Alternator with the big pulley on it. I went to take the pulley off to replace it with the smaller ASP that I have and couldn't pull off the pulley once I removed the bolt. Do the remanufacters affix the pulley to the alternator shaft with some sort of adhesive...

    Fried my alternator!

    Has anyone bought that alternator from Parts America thats remanufacterd? I need a new alternator and am searching for the best deal. Parts America has two alternators that come up....an OE one and Autolite, which would you recommend? They both go for about $110 with a $45 core charge. How...

    Do I need to rebuild or replace my 3G alternator?

    I looked at PA Performance and they're pretty expensive.

    Do I need to rebuild or replace my 3G alternator?

    I priced out some places and remanufacterd ones go for no less $150 at Autozone with a lifetime warranty. I could wait till it craps out but i'd rather not be stuck with a dead alternator on the road somewhere. I think the rebuilt units should be a good idea, but i'd rather not dish out $150...
