    1G Why does my Rear Caliper stick? What is easiest way to fix it?

    Just buy a set of rebuilt calipers and save yourself a headache, install them with new brake pads. Make sure the rubber boots are cleaned out and grease them up, clean your hardware before you install them. Your going to have to dig but, if you go to your Mits dealer they should get you the...

    1G Extremely lost, boost leak/timing

    "The issue is that the car idles horribly, "like a tractor" as we've all heard it put, with idle surge and usually stalls, often pushing air back out the" and you left some information out but, no sweat. I just fought thru this issue like this. So I had to simplify this process into 2 very...

    1G Why does my Rear Caliper stick? What is easiest way to fix it?

    Normally if a brake piston fails it is because the pad is wore out and the piston has reached the maximum travel all the way out and the piston has got stuck sideways in a bind. You will know if your brake caliper is the problem when you try to compress/turn the piston back into the caliper. If...

    Major Idle issues

    If you haven't rebuilt the TB shaft seals go and do so. Also do the F.I.A.V. mod on the TB while it is off. Then you can regain idle speed with the BISS.

    Anyone ever used this tool

    The small 2 dowl 1/4 inch drive tensioner tool is a must for pre-belt tension just before you pull the grenade pin on the hydraulic tensioner. I took off my valve cover and used 2 large vice grip pliers to keep the cams from moving/rolling. The crankshaft does not need to be moved at all when...

    What did you do to your DSM today?

    Saturday I'm upgrading from halogen-tungsten bulbs to high intensity discharge bulbs. The kit just is plug and play some modification may be needed but should not be a problem. For $60.00 each you can upgrade your low/high and fog-lights. I have seen other e-bay kits selling around $30.00 but...

    What did you do to your DSM today?

    2G Fuel pump rewire relay melted

    Just from that picture it appears that the wire got hot enough to melt the connecter end itself. It looks like the relay itself is not melted? Perhaps you can follow that wire back and see what powers it. Something melted that side and that could lead to a clue as to where it happened. The relay...

    1G O2 sensor stops cycling

    I read about O2 sensor performance issues degrade over time and by installing a new one even did not solve the dreaded problem from running rich to even starting and dying problems. The sensors are designed to send the rich/lean signals by reading the Oxygen content in the exhaust stream to the...

    2G Stalling problem

    I should clarify if your using a GM style MAF spray brake cleaner will work but let the sensor air dry for awhile before you plug it in also clean just the sensor wire portion only on end facing from the air filter element... The Arrow points toward the flow so you spray only with the flow. DO...

    2G Stalling problem

    I have allot if ideas bud and I will go one step further, shall I make a suggestion. Remove the vrsf fmic with tial bov and restore it back to factory if possible. See if the problem is duplicated without the mods as opposed when you have the mods installed. At least unless you happen to...

    is This A Legit 20g

    "Actual item may vary from picture" this was at the very bottom of that listing.With a disclaimer like that, it should be a clue someone is trying to sell you something that you do not need. Like anyone is going to sell and $900 turbo for pennies on the dollar I think not. There is an old...

    Charging issue, charges fine when i give gas

    Something is drawing from your battery then. Could be you need to get a test light and do a "draw" test. Find out which circuit it is perhaps. Make sure your cable ends are tight and you have the correct gauge wire going to both the starting and charging systems. Go back and add a few more...
