    Another TR board goes the way of the DoDo.

    This caught my eye in the email stream. So I figured I would drop a line. Facebook sucks. I dont care if you like it. Forums are essential to sharing and recording first hand knowledge for future use. One thing I will mention that I'm guilty of, and many others probably are as well. Is...

    Catalytic converter needed

    Is it possible to acquire a carb worthy cat and have a flange welded on? Is it possible to find an enthusiast inspector or possibly one that had a few beers during lunch? Maybe I'm missing something here but if a car passes a sniffer are they going to crawl under there and inspect the exhaust...

    Code 42 Missfire/ECM

    How much? What brand? The standard brand didn't last me but 3-4 drives. I'm trying to get it warranted. I just wish mine didnt get goopy when the engine is warm. Aside from that I would run jt.

    Code 42 Missfire/ECM

    Ok followed that tree. Determined ignition module was bad. Swapped in my old goopy one and back to running good again. No code 42. I think the fuel/timing map in limp mode makes it run better at idle/low throttle. Thats why it felt like it was running so good. Kind of pissed that module was...

    Code 42 Missfire/ECM

    No timing mods. Car is bone stock. I havent worked through this tree yet. But Im thinking ecm or chip is faulty. The reason is because I havent seen the ses light until now. Even when turning key on. Now after this code shows up ses light works fine with key on. I spent some time this morning...

    Code 42 Missfire/ECM

    I have a few questions about this. A few weeks ago I installed a new ignition control module since mine was goopy when warm, and to solve a random minor missfire issue at idle. Nothing had changed after install. Reset ecu and car ran and started much better but still minor random missfires at...

    Reproduction Hubcaps

    Thanks. The one on the left is reproduction right is the nos gm part. Bought these because price/each was cheaper than a damaged original on ebay. But not exactly cheap. Maybe I will roll with these in case some kid wants to steal one then I wont be bothered if it happens.
