I bought a car from a girl knew nothing of what was done to the car. I knew it was a pretty good deal, but a little bit of a hack job too.
The car is absolutely equal in acceleration with a c5 from 2nd thru 4th gear (tested repeatedly), but the engine runs a little funny at idle, bucks at cruise.
So far I've searched these forums and checked the car.
I need to know what to look for because I see very few mods of consequence to make this fox hang with a vette and I want this car to run correctly 100%. Help a new stanger solve this mystery of why this car is quick and what to look for...
What I know is done to the car:
1) It has a tremec of some sort for the tranny, but I can't tell which it is while under the car. How do you tell?
2) 3.55 rear end
3) shorty headers and 2.5 dual exhaust
4) Moroso CAI
5) Removed AC/PS
6) Aftermarket electric fan
7) Lowered susp
8) Chassis supports welded on
9) Stock ECU
Everything else looks and sounds stock.
It is also giving me a code 22 (map out of range)
ECU gives codes for Primary and Secondary air systems not functioning.
Timing doesn't move when throttle is opened up at idle. (every other car I have checked does)
Fuel pump is lound and whiny, sometimes the engine pings when under throttle.
Please help, this learning curve is impossible without spending months surfing old posts.
