    Eliminating the ISC and FIAV !

    I just deleted both of mine because I literally was having problems with about 5 different ISC's. The car is a pain in the ass to keep running, until it's at normal operating temp. You can delete both without having a way to tune the car. You're going to have to rely on the set screw to moderate...

    1G DTC 14 Throttle position circuit malfunction

    My car maybe gets 1000 miles a year put on it. It got less than 200 this year. I don't care about cold startup issues. I just want to eliminate as many un-needed sensors and plugs as possible. The less there is on the car, the less there is to troubleshoot and wait for failure with. I'll keep...

    1990 gsx engine harness

    I have about 8 different guys that I know of that are selling 1990 harnesses. I just replaced mine. I'll PM you the names of the people who have harnesses. There's also one guy I contacted on craigslist who has one.Changing harnesses is kind of a pain. Not the worst thing I've done on a...

    1G DTC 14 Throttle position circuit malfunction

    FYI. I swapped harnesses and that fixed the problem. I do not know where the actual issue was in my old harness, but now with it out I'm going to take it apart and replace all the wiring and remove what I don't need.Only problem the car has now is a high idle. I'm junking the 90 throttle...

    1G DTC 14 Throttle position circuit malfunction

    Forgive my ignorance, but I did all the testing last night and my results are so far off from what they should be that it lead me to think whether or not the pinout image I was looking at is for the actual ECU pinouts or what the pins are on the harness.Is this looking at the ECU, or the...

    1G DTC 14 Throttle position circuit malfunction

    After doing some testing I am pretty positive the harness is messed up. I'm too lazy to trace it all, so I'm going to just replace the harness. Once the old harness is out of the car I should have my full 1990 service manual, so I'll do some tracing and figure out what's wrong with it. If the...

    1990 GSX No Start issue, thorough testing done...

    Couldnt find a 90 ECU locally, so I just swapped pins 6 & 14, then put a known good 91+ ecu in. Car started up and runs great again. The tach is screwy, but I'm going to buy one of those boards from DSMChips and install it to fix that issue. It's good to have this car on the road again!

    1990 GSX No Start issue, thorough testing done...

    After we did the above test we hooked everything back up to see if we were actually getting spark out of the coil pack. We unplugged all the plug wires and just put a piece of thick copper wire into the coil pack on both 4/1 and 2/3, we just held the wire close to a ground, cranked to see if we...

    innovative lc-1 mounting location

    You want to mount that sensor as far forward as possible, do it before the flex section. Also, do not mount that sensor between the 5pm and 7 pm locations. As for the control unit, zip tie it wherever you want.

    Which gas station in Anchorage ?

    Which gas station in Anchorage ?

    You can buy 104 and 115 (i believe) at the Tesoro on Muldoon. I do not think that they sell it during the winter though. During the summer that's always where I fill up on race gas before heading to the track. I tune on my way out to the track and by the time I get out there I am sitting at my...

    I was 17. It started with as a 1987 Camaro Iroc-Z with a 305. I swapped to a 350 after I spun a rod bearing in the 305. Then stroked the 350 to a 383. Then ProCharged the 383. The rest of the car got built...tranny, rear, etc...and then it's best dyno was 738 RWHP/804 RWTQ.
