    Looking for ideas car won't stay running

    thx Thanks yeah I have been. Car is pretty much the same as last fall. Absolutely zero off-idle torque. I slowly let out on the clutch and the car dies. My bone stock rusty 88LX would pull itself forward if I did that. I took it out for a short drive, if I punch it at anything under...

    Looking for ideas car won't stay running

    update Update... Found a plug wire that was not "clicked" on all the way. :shrug: Also the BAP sensor hose had a small crack on the back of it. Replaced that, put the plugwire on and it idles now, still rough though. Going to check timing and TPS and go from there.

    Looking for ideas car won't stay running

    Ok, I'll try to keep this as short as I can... I bought this car last year, it was popping thru the intake, would sometimes hesitate at WOT and would sometimes stall out when I stopped at a stop light. I replaced the plugs, plugwires, cap, rotor, and fuel filter, it got better and would...

    Anyone Running a Black Magic Fan from FAL?

    fan I've read lots of threads like yours in my searching for a fan. Seems like the Black Magics are marginal at best. For the money I think a Taurus fan and a DCC controller is a way better buy than a Black Magic fan. I hope to have mine installed this weekend. :nice:

    How to stop rearend from shifting on bumps

    money What's your budget? The stocks shocks (even in good shape) are junk. Good aftermarket ones like Tokicos, Konis, or Bilsteins will help. You do still have your quads on too right? A panhard bar, LCAs, new bushings will all help too. All depends on how much you want to spend.

    Anyone else use the kitchen table as a workbench?

    HAHAH :rlaugh: Contrary to popular belief, a well ported stock lower makes damn good power....actually make MORE power from idle to about 4,400 RPMS than a Cobra intake. From about 4,400-6,000 RPMS the Cobra will make slightly more. Read all about it and see dyno sheets...

    lower intake bolts where do the 2 different ones go?

    Thanks that makes sense. Yeah I am pretty sure these all go to the lower intake. I have the upper intake ones separate....and there is one of the strange bolts in that bunch too.

    lower intake bolts where do the 2 different ones go?

    How does it go on the metal heater hose line? Does it go underneath it and then a nut goes on over the top? If so I take it the metal heater hose line has to be put on after the lower intake is installed? Pretty sure there was one that went in one of the back corners and brace went on over it...

    I should have taken more pictures when I took all this apart before winter, but I'm fumbling through it... The 12 lower intake bolts..... 2 of them are different than the other 10. Where abouts do the 2 different ones go?

    Anyone else use the kitchen table as a workbench?

    well Well I think it's a bigger deal for those that are living with a girlfriend or married. I just thought it was kinda funny. It's my original stock one that I had ported by Tom Moss (Tmossporting.com)
