tell me about it. anyone have a reccomended break in procedure? it's a freshly rebuilt motor. I have non-detergent 30 weight oil in the motor for now. I was going to drive it easy for a few hundred miles and then get it on the dyno for the final tuning. Any thoughts?

Problem solved. VATS! Even though i asked one shop to check it twice, and they swore up and down that they turned it off. I took it to another shop and the first thing they saw was that it was still turned on. Go figure. If it looks like a dog, smells like a dog, and barks like a...

on another note is it possible to get a used copy of hp tuners? i'm seeing it is pricey brand new.

i checked the vats again, it is still turned off. it does sound exactly like a vats problem though. the only thing i can think of is something wrong with the crank signal????

to give an update.....i hooked a cable from the engine to the engine and battery just to see if the motor had a bad ground. it didnt make a difference. i also pulled alll of the injector plugs off so i could test them with the engine at a steady speed, not trying to start and sputter. each...

So why would testing continuity from the engine to the body not be an accurate assesment of how well the motor is grounded? Does it not show how efficient. It is? No measure of capability to flow amps?

I did use a simple continuity test from the engine block to a couple different places on the body. Why would that be an invalid test? According to the meter there was 0.1Ohm resistance. I have two ground straps from the engine to the firewall, one braided strap and one 1 gauge wire. Not...

"since my engine is grounded to the body then to the battery. " Huh????? Where is this taking place" I was just pointing out that my engine isnt grounded directly to the battery. It is grounded to the firewall, through the body, and then to the battery in the trunk. But b/c my fender is all...

Right I guess I could check to make sure the crank wires are in the ECM in the correct place. Any other thoughts?

no harness isnt on backwards. I am getting a tach signal. I'm located in DE. A long ways from everyone it would seem. I measured the voltage at the crank plug yesterday, and got something a little weird. From pin A to C i got 10.6 volts, i thought it should be 12 volts??? Does this mean...

first let me say thanks to you guys for hanging with this thread and helping me through this missery. so i got a noid light and it seemed to show a signal from each of the injector plugs. so with good fuel pressure and electrical signals, i gotta beleive that the cylinders are getting fuel...

I don't know anyone that has that diagnostic equipment nearby. I just replaced the cam sensor and it made no difference. I will try a noid light next. Then I guess I'll try the crank sensor. If the light or cranksensor don't do anything I will once again be out of ideas. But until then........

Bad news. I took my injectors to NAPA so they could flow test them. They flowed great. So now i'm wondering if maybe the injectors are not getting the necessary electrical signal, and how can I check for that? They flowed 78cL in 15 seconds??? Whatever that means. So, anyways I thought I...

koeo the map reads 100kPA or 29.9 inHG. I think I may have come across something tonight.(i hope) Tell me what you guys think. I got my hands on a bottle of starter fluid. I was able to start and keep the engine running by spraying the throttle body with the fluid. It would seem i would be...

For the PCV system. I have the two rear ports tied into an air/oil seperator and then fed to the air filter on my procharger. For, now the front port is just open to atmosphere. For the MAP, i just have the factory MAP. 1 bar right? When my boost gauge shows 10in vacuum, the obdII scanner...

i did try starting with the maf unplugged. It wouldnt start with it unplugged. It does seem to be working though according to my scanner as far as it shows airflow when the engine runs. My PCV system is not hooked up completely i have one of the ports open for now. Would that have any...

I double checked the pressure that the MAP is getting when the engine chooses to idle. It reads 16.5 inHG, or 56kPA. Does this sound normal? I'm not sure how accurate the boost gauge is with vacuum. Are there any other vacuum ports besides the ones behind the throttle body, and the two right...

it's a 45 min drive to get the vats removed, wich i already did once. if i need to do it again so be it. i'm going to check the resistance on the injectors just to see what i get. the other thing, is i'm not sure if i'm actually pulling as much vacuum as I should be. My cam is 230/240 @.500...

I started it last night with the scanner hooked up to look at the MAP reading. The map did pull down to 21 inHG once the engine fired up for a couple seconds. So even though the ecm is holding on to the map sensor code, it appears to be working normally. Any thoughts on injector cleaner? Is...

new gas tank. new fuel filter. fuel pressure at the rails stays between 56 and 58 psi. The injectors did sit for two years, could they be gummed up? Is there something i can do to check them or clean them? Injector cleaner in the gas tank? The pump does prime as soon as the key is turned...
