thanks alot for the replys guys, sorry i took forever to log on again,but the problem still persists. the car runs terrible, especially under boost. it will only get up to about 8 lbs then it starts to buck and backfire. i tried unplugging the cam sensor and the car ran WAY worse than...

hey guys, I live in PA so haven't been driving my car as much as I would like, but I have noticed that it is acting weird. when you first start the car it runs fine for the first couple minutes. you burn the tires off at every intersection. but I noticed that after the car warms up after a...

Ok so my 86 grand national has had this problem ever since i got it running in 2010. I have to unplug the ac plug up near the bottom of the windshield (passenger side) because if i dont, some kind of fan will continuously run even when the car is not running. The interior AC only works when...

On my way to work at 6:30 this morning my scanmaster was working normally. But when i was leaving, i started the car and saw that my scanmaster isnt working. It's not lighting up or anything. When i got home, i checked to make sure everything was still connected and plugged in and everything...

I'm not an expert on these cars by any means....but I had the exact same problem not too long ago. I had a bad o2 sensor and the middle section of my coilpack was completely dead. I replaced my coilpack, ignition module and 02 sensor (about $200) and that fixed my problem. Just some info with...

Ok thanks a lot for the help

Alright thanks. So you think that my motor is still ok because I can hear it running?

My antenna is stuck in the up position on my 86gn. I actually have to unplug the antenna at the connector under the hood because if i dont, the motor will run nonstop. When my radio is on, and the antenna is plugged in, the motor does not run. But when i shut the car off, or turn the radio...
