    Difficult Starting and Idle...Spark Plug Related???

    I'm just throwing out a hypothesis and you guys can let me know if you disagree or agree. This summer I changed my Spark Plugs to Autolite 24s or 23s for Nitrous. I think it was 23s which is a colder plug than stock. I also retarded the timing but I put that back to 14* because I'm not using...

    Harmonic Balancer Help!

    Are you sure it is the same one? Why would Summit charge almost double for the same part? I'll probably going to advanced auto today so I'll check it out. The one you got from Advanced does it have the rubber in the back like the stock peice?

    Car Trouble...Please Help

    I'll check for vacuum leaks but I'm pretty sure there are none. Before the car would die it would only idle bad and I could drive it. It ran fine except for the idle.

    Car Trouble...Please Help

    My car is acting really weird. It does not want to start. I turn the key and it cranks and nothing happens. Once I release the key is when it fires up when it seldom does. It sounds weird but it gets worse. Then I will let it idle and it will sit there idling all over the place and it...

    Low coolant warning, common?

    This happens to my car when its cold out as well. In the summer it does not. So I'm guessing the sensor freezes or something. Just make sure you have coolant in there and you will be fine.

    Don't buy an Xbox360!!

    XBox 360 is backwards compatible with XBox games so I don't know what you are talking about. Honestly, how many games do you play at a time? I don't need 500 games. And Halo 3 is going to blow PS3 out of the water. The only thing Playstation has over XBox is Grand Theft Auto which eventually...

    Would like to see a 13 second slip

    I had a G Tech and it was pretty accurate. Make sure you are on a level road then launch when it says go. It will wait for you to take off. If anything the MPH is off on the G-Tech. They are usually 3-4 MPH higher than the actual reading and it explains why in the manual. Also I don't...

    My Car is Messed Up!!!!!!!!

    No I never sprayed on 14* I set it back to that from 10 to see if that corrected the problem. I am not overheating either. I did all the nitrous precautions besides the fuel pump but I only sprayed the 75 shot and never heard any pinging. The performance wasn't the main problem because I...

    My Car is Messed Up!!!!!!!!

    My car has ran great since I had it until I put in Nitrous. The nitrous may be unrelated but I'm not sure. Recently my car doesn't want to idle at all. I'm not spraying the nitrous until I get this figured out and I might take it off I haven't decided. But, I readvanced the timing to 14*...
