Thanks, that definitely has me more motivated to go ahead and install my hood pins. Is it possible to use the OEM hood stoppers as locations for the hood pins or will they still be needed?
Dang, you guys have me nervous now lol. Anyone have any tips on installing them the proper way? Ive never installed hood pins before. I have the "Quik-Latch" style.
I know this is an old thread but I wish I would have seen this thread before buying the Extreme Dimensions/Carbon Creations hood. First, it took almost 2 months before I received the hood, not a big deal but they blamed Covid and in the mean time I ordered several other parts that did not have...
I have a 2g running ecmlink. I recently bought a used coil on plug setup with the 300m coils. I believe it needs to be rewired as my car will almost start but not quite. I read that the wires may be inverted but I'm not sure which wires. I've enclosed a pic of how my current setup runs with the...
I was able to remove the starter wire harness and the positive wire that connects to the starter was frayed badly. I have a new one coming so hopefully this will fix the issue.
Ok I'll replace that. Also, the car started fine with the battery relocated in the trunk, but could the way I have it ran cause issues as well? If so, what could I change?
The fourth starter did the same thing, whats the likelihood it could be something going on with my flywheel? The car runs perfectly fine once started but I have to turn the key 5 to 14 times or more to get it to start cranking. Its like the bendix is not going out enough to start spinning.
Ok, so I got another starter from Autozone and it was the same outcome. I ran another cable from the positive terminal on the battery straight to the starter, same outcome. I tried a new starter relay, same outcome. Im at a loss right now.
I returned it, and whats crazy is that the reman at Advance was more expensive than the "new" at Autozone. I'll give the parts store one more chance but my next step is to try a OEM reman from extremepsi. Where did you find the Bosch?
This will be the third one for me, I bought a reman from Advance Auto that made a whirring noise when it did engage and a new one from Autozone that didnt engage while installed in the car. Hopefully the this next one will be fine.
Im just glad its not difficult to remove or I'd be a little pissed off. Once I finish working Ill return it for the 2nd time and cross my fingers I get a good one this time. smh
Im having nearly the same problem with the starter intermittently starting. Originally the problem I had was after doing pulls for a remote tune, I'd try to start the car back up and the starter would just click when I turn the key and then when it would actually engage it would drag and turn...
One last post before I close out. I was very lucky with my car... I was unaware when I purchased the timing kit for my car it came with the early version tensioner, so my timing belt was actually a half of tooth or maybe even a whole tooth off causing it to have very choppy and erratic idle. I...
Thanks for all the help. Can we mark this post as solved? I recently had the car professionally tuned on SD but someone else may find this information useful.
Im looking for the same thing, I wasnt aware of the the canary whistle either and it gets annoying. So the Greddy FV is a direct bolt on or would there need to be modification done to the flange?
I adjusted the TPS again and got it to go 100% throttle and it was at .65 but somehow went to .67 after a few minutes. I let out around 5600 to 5800rpm because it was pretty rich according to the wideband gauge, aroud 9s.
Just did another pull. It was so much better with the global at -57.8 and I checked "Enable TPS Adjustment" and "Enable Idle Switch Operation". Any other suggestions from here?
I finally got my idle situated and now Im attempting to tune for wot. And from what I've read, this should have been done first. I started doing a 3rd gear pull but it went very rich on my wideband (9.5afr), so I let out around 4500rpm. Also, the car felt tremendously under powered. What changes...
You guys are super helpful. Im going to get back to it after work this evening and post logs after I make the suggested changes and troubleshoot. Thanks again, you guys just dont know how helpful you have been, its greatly appreciated.
Those changes made the idle better already. Got the airflowperrev down to .29 - .31. The ISCPosition wont go lower than 34 so far. I have it showing the wideband as LC1 now. Thanks all you guys help so far, its greatly appreciated. I just wanna get this thing going so I can enjoy it again. I...
Which direction should the sliders be adjusted for airflowperrev? As well as adjusting the deadtime? Can any harm be done by going the wrong way? When I set the Global to -61 the AFR went to 19-20+
I really need help with getting my idle dialed in as its very sporadic. Mods are FIC 1050cc injectors, Walbro 450, Evo III intake mani, 1g throttle body, FP Black, FP exhaust mani, Comp 272 cams, Manley valve springs. Ive attached a log of the idle. Let me know if there are any other values I...
Im in the process of learning how to tune as well. Does anyone know of a video explaining and walking thru the WOT tuning process? Ive seen a few of Jafro's youtube videos and they are very helpful.
Yeah I have had so many bad experiences with these parts stores. I try to order everything online and pick it up just so I dont have to talk to them or explain to them why Im putting a different spark plug in my car than what their computer says lol.
I watch Cleetus on the regular and other YouTubers such as Adam LZ, B is for Build as well. Its entertaining and the builds are pretty dope too. But they do have a lot more expendable income than I have. Ive been inspired by them to do my own YouTube channel as well with my cars and manly toys...
Im currently going thru almost the same thing. I already have my cams installed but I do need to upgrade my valve springs and was hoping I'd be able to have them done with the head still on. Not sure about being able to install them without having to redo the timing though.
Is this for a factory alarm? I have an old aftermarket Viper alarm that came on my car. I keep my battery unplugged to keep it from being drained as I dont drive the car regularly, so when I reconnect the battery of course the alarm goes off and the car wont start. It wouldnt be an issue but the...
