    fuel door won't close

    should I worry about static electricity here??? If I put a velcro strip in the fuel filler door to hold it shut, would I have to worry about static electricity igniting fuel vapors? my gf's fuel door won't shut all the way on her grand am, but I don't wanna catch her on fire though lol.

    What Radiatior?

    I got a replacement 2row radiator from Autozone when I did the motor in my sig (short on money), and I have no overheating problems. If you have the money definately go with the 3row radiator though. Then you should have no worries of overheating if you ever decide to go with more aggressive...

    new motor dies at idle....

    thanks for replying. also can someone help out on how to set my idle screw on the throttle body...if this is set way off, could it cause the dieing at low rpm? The closest I can get the TPS with key on, engine off is like 3.something volts...which is obviously not right. I've changed the TPS...

    79-90 GT with 17" rims... Help.

    17x9 cobras 255/40 , 275/40 no tailpipes, flipped quads and 1/4" spacers on all four. I need to get a picture from the back to show the tire width, but here's the best pic I have for this...The wheels look much wider in the back on a LX (no ground effects). I had them on my old 89 lx 5.0...

    new motor dies at idle....

    ok, the stang has been in the garage for a few months now. I gave up for awhile, too frustrating. Income tax return coming up around the corner and I want to give it another shot. This Focus zx3 is not fullfilling my torque needs :D The last time I drove it I put the FP up to 42 then about...

    trouble setting TPS

    I cant get my TPS voltage to go under 2.80v with this Power Products throttle body. I use a voltmeter, red lead on orange wire, black lead on green wire, turn key on and check voltage. The lowest I can set it is 2.80v wtf? I just bought a new TPS in case the other was bad...same problem. Anyone...

    why does it die at idle after i get on it?

    I had that problem with my '89 auto...I'd drive it 50miles out of town to Kansas City and it would die as soon as I'd get off the interstate. I replaced the TPS sensor and set it at .98v, cleaned my IAC, replaced the TFI module...and it still died when I drove it reallll hard or on the...

    new motor dies at idle....

    I have the fuel pressure at 39, it will idle without dieing now..but only when I first take it out driving and the engine is cold. Once the motor gets warmed up it dies everytime I stop. Would a crazy ECT sensor do this?

    new motor dies at idle....

    I'll turn the fp up to 38 next and try that. where in the wire harness is the VSS connection? I'm sure I hooked everything up, but **** happens. also the stalling happened before the mass air conversion too.

    new motor dies at idle....

    I've cleaned the IAC, the mass air meter is brand new...but it did this before I converted to mass air also.

    new motor dies at idle....

    I have the setup in my sig. once I drive it for a few minutes and come to a stop or push the clutch in it dies. It won't stay running if I push the clutch in. If I keep the gas pressed it will stay running. Sometimes (rarely) it will idle when I come to a stoplight. When it does that it idles at...

    pro flow mass air meters any good????

    sounds great! This is my first maf I've had on this car, so I'll see how it goes. The engine won't idle with speed density. Hopefully it will fix that problem.
