I went with the system gbody sells. It uses 2 relays to safely sustain the full load of two fans. The harness plugged right into the factory connector and used just one constant hot.

nevermind........i was having one of those nights that tested my love for the car hahaha. Solved the problem myself with a couple hours of reading the forum and cracking the book.

sorry, the cam sensor from a buick 3.8

Hope you guys can help.... i used a sharpie to mark the distributor so i could prime the oil system... the marker rubbed off and now i have no idea which way it needs to be facing. I'm also having trouble getting the distributor to mate up with the oil pump rod. Any help would be great, thanks!

I removed the front timing cover to replace the gasket and give it a good cleaning. After the fact i cracked open the repair manual and it said " anytime the cover is removed, pack the oil pump with grease to help it prime". I also just installed a turbo saver system. What do you guys recommend...

Wow, those pictures sold me.... i'm dropping the stuff off on monday. thanks guys!

So, i pulled the engine out of my 86' GN to fix ALL the oil leaks, install new poly mounts and clean the engine bay. I removed the intake and upper plenum and had them hot tanked. What are the views between a chemical dip and running the " straight aluminum" vs media blasting and powdercoating...

IAC Reset Procedure i used these ones but didn't know the car had to be shut down after each adjustment. I'll give the new instructions a shot, The vortex site seems more detailed, thanks

Well, i just made a post about my replacement MAF but i wanted to start a new thread on my IAC. I've been having a problem at idle and looked into adjusting my iac with the scanmaster. I've read through the previous posts concerning the " adjusting screw" or " throttle screw" but when i turn...

i have a few questions about my newly replaced MAF. When i first bought the car back in Jul 09 it had a stumble at idle and wanted to stall as it came to a stop. I replaced the old maf with one from Advanced and it got rid of the problems. Just a couple days ago the car has been having the same...

i'll have to take it out tonight and really focus on when i'm having the most problems. I'll also post my scanmaster numbers. How far in to the tranny do you have to go to get to the lock up solenoid? thanks
