    Bad distributor... Any ideas why, or natual wear? *video inside*

    It didn't cause any problems until it started rattling... That's the first time I noticed it...

    Bad distributor... Any ideas why, or natual wear? *video inside*

    Yeah, and it still idled decently, and pulled right up to 6000 RPMs... I guess the new distributor should help, but I just hope all that slop didn't screw up my oil pump...

    Code 42 Engine Rich, Ok how to fix?

    If you have a fuel pressure guage, check to make sure the fuel pressure goes up when you remove the fuel pressure regulator vacuum line at idle. If the pressure does not go up, check for possible vacuum leaks. If there are no vacuum leaks, then suspect the fuel pressure regulator. Another...

    Bad distributor... Any ideas why, or natual wear? *video inside*

    Bad distributor... Any ideas why, or natural wear? *video inside* Well, I noticed this yesterday when I cranked up the convertible for a Saturday ride. It made a very odd noise under the hood, so I checked it out and the distributor was just making a rattling sound. I removed it, and there...

    Fuel Pump Noise?

    My 255's been whining since I installed it, and the car still runs rich at WOT just like it should... If it's a stocker though, it might be on it's way out. My 2.3 pump started whining like crazy before it died. Strangely, the 255 in the 5.0 has whined since I installed it.

    New injectors, MAF, fuel pump & FP reg: car won't idle or run

    I've lived here my entire life... I'm in the Upstate area, where basically all the jobs are... PM me if you've got any questions. There is one thing you have to remember though.... Don't tell us, "how you did it up north.... we don't care..."... There are bumper stickers to that effect...

    Who Runs A Remote Optimizer???

    I run a Pro-M MAF Tuner. It's awesome, and quite a bit more advanced than the optimizer. I can tune my a/f ratio from the drivers' seat basically. You can adjust the idle MAF voltage, the low-mid voltage, high-mid voltage, and the WOT voltage. I run a Pro-M 75mm bullet calibrated for 30s...

    New injectors, MAF, fuel pump & FP reg: car won't idle or run

    I had a similar problem with my 30s on my NA car after I installed them. The car would run if I stayed in the throttle, but would quickly shut off. It was also doing some weird backfiring when i reved it up... We checked everything, and I finally swapped my C&L calibrated for 30s to my...

    New injectors, MAF, fuel pump & FP reg: car won't idle or run

    Here you go... Yeah, the filter will only flow one way, and it might have a flow indication arrow on it depending on what type of filter it is. The identifying feature is the large band on one side that should be pointed towards the driver's side of the car.

    New injectors, MAF, fuel pump & FP reg: car won't idle or run

    Could it be possible that the fuel filter is connected backwards? I saw another thread where the guy accidentally connected the fuel filter backwards, and consequently was getting no fuel. It's worth a check... It sounds like something I could find myself doing. Also, check to make sure the...

    What does Japan think?

    That is possible, and I hope you're right. I'm only 24 by the way... The Japanese I work with are in their 40s at the minumum... To point something out... Their cars are very small displacement because they're taxed based on engine size. The 600cc (0.6L) vans are a popular choice for a...

    What does Japan think?

    I work with them every day in a Japanese-owned company. They definitely think we're all idiots, even if our quality tolerances are tighter than our Japanese counterparts, and they are (I've seen this first-hand in Japan)... :nonono: Sorry man, I work with the Japanese wayyyy too much to...

    What does Japan think?

    No, there are in fact V8 American cars there. I saw several GT Mustangs and one '70s Vette with a nasty cam... It's just like my coworker said... They do think that American cars are unreliable. Case in point, Toyota sells a Chevrolet Cavalier in Japan under the Toyota brand name, and the...

    What does Japan think?

    I was in Japan twice last year for a month total. Yes, they're VERY arrogant in regards to American quality. No, the average car there isn't above 100 HP. The average car hovers somewhere around 1.5-1.6 Liters... They're into small cars. It took me several days to even spot a GT-R, and I...

    Installed Eibach Sportlines, passanger side sits 1 inch higher than drivers side.

    Spring perch bushings will affect height. The polyurethane spring perch bushings will cause the car to ride higher than worn out rubber bushings as well... As far as the upper strut bushing, you should get that replaced ASAP. That will probably cause your caster and camber to drift...
