thats where i thought it was, sensor is working, took it out and checked the ohms through the sensor with some heat, must be wiring, I'm getting a 5 volt reference, got to be the ground i suppose... thanks

My car is throwing the Manifold Air Temperature (MAT) Code (its reading -44 C), I thought I knew which sensor this is, but now not so certian .. which one is it? I looked through the sensor location diagrams and nothing i showing up..

Way back when, someone told me that the internals from the 3800 supercharged were similar to our engines, such as crank.. any of this true?

how much boost will it hold before you SHOULD upgrade?

Well.. I ran into most problems with my car, but this one is a first. Was racing 2 weekends ago and the car was running strong all weekend, and the last 2 races, the car started acting funny, the last run i just babied it down the track and put it back on the trailer. I didn't really drive it...

Seems something was stuck, i just gave it a few quick shots on the throttle and it fixed itself, works great now

I just put a rebuild in, and i was out adjusting the tv cable and then all of a sudden it stopped shifting out of second ... i tried to adjust it and it didn't seem to matter, so I left it for the night, went back today to see what was going on and now it won't shift out of first, and all i did...

Whats the max clearences for our engines when installing new rod and main bearings?

I put flowmasters on mine, seems to sound good and works well

I called comp and they said its okay to use the stock push rods ... what do you mean preload? im reaching for things .. .but if the timing chain is off one tooth, would it still run on these cars? but I don't know what would make the noise....

ITs not a roller cam I looked on the scan took, and its saying 32 degrees adavanved timing, its whats its running at And yep, torqued the rocker arms down to 25 lbs

I just completely rebuilt my engine in my 87... new bearings, rings, pistons, valve springs etc I installed a 212/212 comp cam in it. My problem is, I started the car, after priming everything, and it had a VERY strong valve train noise. I figured it was because the lifters werentt pumped up...

Great, thanks .... It seems to be working fine the way I hooked it up, it just seems strange, the power master is still original, car has 160,000km on it. There is another electrical problem with it but I'm yet to trace that down yet. I will time the action and see how it is, I just don't...

if you read what I said twice already, the motor is NOT coming on ... has nothing to do with the acc. ball .....

timing is 0, because the motor isn't coming on, must be electrical....
