Thank You Turbo Buick
I do not know where the grey wire is, I can hear the gas pump working in the gas tank, but the car does not want to start, it just cranks & cranks but it does like if it wants to start and then it dies. I know that nothing happened at the muffler shop it just started acting up after that. I had a similar problem about 3 years ago, I had my GN taken from shop to shop because here in Laredo, Texas my GN is the only one and it seems that nobody knows anything about these "Beautiful Fast Black Cars". I think that at the end it was as I told them that it was probably the crank sensor (they had replaced it 3 times) until finally they got one that worked. The car has been fine for the past two years since it was overhauled, and NOW THIS. I have ordered (two months ago) a new Chip, Adjustable fuel pressure regulator, and a hot wire kit. I work a lot and sometimes I have no time to play around with my GN, but I have a nephew that works as a (ASE Certified) mechanic at a local Ford dealership and he and another friend who also works there are coming Monday or Tuesday to tow it to their home so that they can work on it. I will tell them anything that you can pass on to me to help them start up my car. I appreciate all the help and recommendations from all of you guys that have the inside scoop (knowledge) on these beautiful and fast cars. Don't have a Scanmaster SORRY

How did you happen to have a 84 intercooled T-type, the intercooled engines did not appeared until 1986. I had my GN since 1996 and I have trouble with it once in a while, but when it runs it is fast. I am going to see if these guys can fix the problem with the gas so that I can be able to drive it again. I had Pronto's muffler shop replace the Flomasters for the Magnaflows and the turbo spools much faster.

1985 GN Ported/Polished Heads, 2800 stall, 390 gears, 3 inch up/down pipe, 3 inch exhaust & tubbing, Blue top injectors, Adjustable Fuel Presuure Regulator, Adjuatable Actuator, Enhanced Turbo, Cold Air Induction with an 18 Inch K&N, Boost Gauge, Fuel Pressure Gauge, 93 Octane chip from Poston, High Performance Overhaul Kit from Poston, 4, 000 miles on new engine.

I heard about the Typhoon from Oilton if you purchased it it will be a good buy, of course depending on the price. I live on Hillside and I usually drive the car once a week because I have the other toys that I also have to drive in order to keep them in properly working conditions. I saw a Typhoon that this lady from Nuevo Laredo was driving several years ago, I asked her if she wanted to sell it but she declined. I also saw a 1986 Grand National that this young female was driving and it had Nuevo Laredo plates, I think that her husband purchased it at an auction somewhere and does not want to part from it, because I also asked if she wanted to sell it and she stated that it belonged to her husband and it was not for sale. What color is your T-type and have you done any any modifications to the engine.
