[SS is sick]

got the truck back

 

she runs pretty damned nice now

 

turns out injector #3 was the problem. they replaced it and cleaned all my injectors again and didnt charge me a thing

 

 

BUT..they did say that if i were to step on the gas.. (floor it), the SES could come on flashing.. this is because the amount of air coming in is greater than the computer was calibrated for.. yeah yeah. i think thats BS

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I could see a slight lean condition, but not a misfire. It is my understanding that flashing SES means serious misfire only.

I didn't put in the burst panels, no.  Is that what you mean?

 

I got the catchcan from McKinney Race Works, or something like that.  Someone else started a thread on here recently about catchcans.  I ordered one from that thread.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

I just ordered one of these also. It looks like a pretty good unit, and cheaper than that AMW unit that doubled in price recently.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Mine will be here Wed!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

 

LOL now they are back ordered too!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Really, did you try ordering one? Early bird gets the worm

[shift kit]

Not so sure Zippy is selling his kit anymore. He'll put it in for you, pretty sure. If you're close to him. Can always go with a Transgo HD-2 kit.

[what size is my pulley?]

Measure accross the center of the face, I would presume. Measure where the belt rides to the other side where the belt rides. Is that what you were saying also?

[SS is sick]

So they claim to put on the stock air box, fix the "real" problem, tell you it was your air box and charge you to fix what the problem really was.

 

If I knew it was number 3, the dealer would be the last person to touch. For the most part, it's either the coil, plug, or plug wire. I have never heard of a coil failing and you replaced the other two. The last thing would be the number 3 injector. That injector is about $45 for 1 - not from the dealership. A coil pack from the dealership is like $80 or so.

[LM-1 Wideband For Sale]

I personally have never used it and it was only used for a small period of time by a member on here. Practically brand new. It has never been hooked up to my truck, but I assume it works just fine.

 

Everything seen here + all the accessories Innovate Website - all except for the bung, but you can get on there for $9.

 

Only selling because I want to go with something different.

 

Asking $225 + shipping. Prefer paypal, but will take other forms of payment.

[SS is sick]

pffft even better!

i was reading about coil backs a few minutes ago.. does changing them out to 'better ones' help you in any way?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I would rule out coils for now just by how much they cost. If you had scanning software, you could scan for misfires by cylinder. Just get the code cleared for now and go from there.

[SS is sick]

ill will stop by the local autozone tomorrow morning to get it cleared and find out the code #.. do they charge much for that service?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Free.

Catchcans will trap that oil that gets by your PCV valve and gets into your intake.  I don't have a PCV valve currently and I seen evidence of oil getting into my intake when I had the truck intake off.  So much, that oil was in all my intake runners on my heads.  I need it bad.

gotchya, didn't know it got that bad.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Your truck is doing it also....probably all are. It is a fact of the motors we have. How much it does is just a matter of how bad the problem is.

[SS is sick]

ok it was a pain, but i got all the plugs AND wires replaced.

I notice the truck does run quite a bit nicer, better throttle response, etc... just plain better

 

BU THAT DAMNED LIGHT IS STILL ON!

 

when i hit between 65 and 70, the light goes to flashing. I slow down, comes back to solid..

 

im thinking at this point.. O2 sensor???

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Go to autozone and have it cleared. Find out what the code is while you're there. The light will not automatically go out if you fixed the problem without going through a few times of the code not being set.

The spark plug wire boot had oil in it.

 

i still havent taken the plugs out cuz i cant get a socket in there.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Requires no more than a standard spark plug socket.

[Initial Driving Impressions]

Will post up tomorrow or this weekend how it is for WOT.  I want to get my catchcan in before I do too much of that.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Ben, what's the catch can for? I don't follow

[holty vs twin turbo 408 camaro]

Sounds like the 408 needs some work.

[Been looking, but haven't found....]

retune with lean cruise enabled. (soundengineer can do this cheap)

 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I thought this was illegal and not too good on the engine? there was a long discussion about this...but I dont think that it ended up working

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

LOL, do you think most on here are concerned about lagality on what they do with their trucks?

 

I've heard it can be done with a custom OS.

[high lift rocker arm question?]

If you mean higher ratio rockers, Crane makes 1.8s that will work. Try going to Tbyrne's site, he has them. Link is on the left.

[MAP=Boost?]

No boost gauge?

[SS is sick]

Flashing SES usually signifies a serious misfire. There are some very minor things that can cause it. If you do not want to touch it, I understand.

 

I have had it happen to me just from the plug end of a plug wire not making good solid contact. So I have a taken a pair of slip-joint pliers and put the wide opening part around my boots and slowly sqeeze just a little. They make better contact to the plugs after. Some plug ends can screw off - some don't. If they are not on tight your plug could mis-fire. The main thing is the plug wires themselves will click on the plug end once and you will hear and feel two clicks on the coil end. A coil could be going bad or a plug wire.

[AZSpeed-Marine Headers]

You cut your pipes 1/4" in front of the cats, then weld on a flange that bolt to the headers.

[Would you like to drop a crate motor in?]

Real easy to do a LQ9 crate motor.

[New Fuel System and upgraded intercooler]

Nice work

 

Have you been able to tell yet if you fixed your fueling issues?

[Switching to a F.A.S.T. intake manifold]

I took the module and just connected hose to it on both ends. It runs to the back just like the hard plastic one does and to the rear of the TB. You can only put the module so far back because the harness connection comes off the same one as the alternator and doesn't allow you to move it too far away from the front. It is laying on the driver's side between the fuel rail and injectors about half way back. You can't even see it unless you are looking for it.

[Switching to a F.A.S.T. intake manifold]

Ben,

 

What did you do with the Fuel Tank Evaporator control ???

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Is that the unit that sits on top of the intake, just above the TB?

[SS is sick]

Damn...let's hope most are not dishonest.
