    MAF Question

    Hears my 2cents. I'd been chasing intermittant surging problem for a long time. I'd changed a ton parts and finally dug deeper into the MAF. Cought the car surging with my scanner hooked up and when the readings dropped to 200 or less the car fell flat on it's face. Numbers went down to about...

    If You Could or Would Trade Your Buick

    I just beat one of those SLR's on the freeway last month with my 99 Formi. I'd trade my GN for a nice Tahoe or grand Cherokee 4x4.

    I've got a knocking noise?

    No I do not like noises comming from my engine nor do I like leaks. I took my wifes car to the track instead of the Buick. It's a lot more fun. If I'm slow at work this week I'll check the bearings and clearances since I want to fix the leak anyway and report back to everyone. If we're busy...

    I've got a knocking noise?

    Originally I thought it was a rod or main bearing also. Hard to beleive that would be possable since I rebuilt the engine about 5k AGO. Oil pan gaskets been leaking some and I hate leaks so I'm gonna drop the pan and go ahead and check out all the bearings. STRANGE part is accelerating or...

    I've got a knocking noise?

    I don't know. Just know the lock up has been removed. I installed a used supra engine for a freind that owns a trans shop and he rebuilt my trans in exchange. It makes a good clunk when it downshifts to first (sometimes). Another lesson learned. It is supposed to have stock stall of 2400 with no...

    I've got a knocking noise?

    My newest gremlin is a thumping/knocking noise. I thought at first it was a rod knock. No noise when cold. After it warms up (a little) it makes a thumping noise at idle. It does not make the noise in park, only in gear. I put the car in the air and listen with a stehiscope. I can hear it...

    Hey Brent. Hope you did well last weekend. I pulled my cat off thinking maybe I had an exhaust restriction,( MAF didn't fix it). When running with out the exhaust I could clearly hear random misfires causing power loss and surging. Put new wires on and Bingo. Hope engine holds up till the 5th. I...

    Need Spark Plug Wires-What Kind & Where?

    I just changed my wires today and holy ****. I've been having intermittant problems from day one and other than the fuel pump this has been the most significant improvement in performance yet. I used $28 standard wires cause I'm tired of throwing $ at the car and didn't expect this kind of...

    Experts, Need V8 Help!

    Don't think 200 will bolt up without an adapter plate, which is probably available through transadapt. Wife's car has SBC 350 with Th350, runs mid 11's and love it. Not to great for highway trips with 4.11s though.
