So I let my wife drive my car recently. The car sits nearly all the time. We moved it out of my garage for a Halloween party and when moving it back the car just died. No spark. I noticed while looking at the crank sensor that the crank pulley has back and forth play. Like I can rotate it back...

So I've been putting it off for a while because I drive the car less than 1000 miles a year, but I'm finally gonna buy a scanmaster. What's kept me from buying one is my fear that I'll buy the wrong version or something stupid. I see version 2.1 alot but I saw one for sale that was version 3.0...

ok.. I bought an 86 GN. I don't trust the tune in it because the chip was made by some shop in illonois in 2001. So my chip is over 10 years old and I want to replace it with a TT chip. Problem is that I don't know what kind of cam I have. The engine in my car had been rebuilt with ARP hardware...

Ugh. OK so i had parked the car about 2 weeks ago to take care of a bunch of stuff that was wrong on my 86 GN. I machined, painted, and installed my headers, heat wrapped and cleaned up my exhaust, adjusted my shift cable so that it actually will be in OD when the trans is in OD, and I cleaned...

Hey I'm in need of a new harmonic balancer for my car. It's a 1986 GN. The engine has been rebuilt at one time in the past and I suspect that the bottom end has been balanced. It's got ARP hardware and you can see where it looks like some parts were machined to take weight off. The balancer...

I'm trying to clean up under my dash by doing some rewiring. I had some questions. I need to know where I could wire up my gauges lights to come on with the parking lights. They WERE wired into one of the parking lights but there should be a better place for them right? And which wire is the...

Now this story is long mostly because my family has never owned anything fast or nice, and if you have seen any posts that I've made recently, you would know that my car right now is laid up with many little problems. :rolleyes: So it's worth mentioning that this kill happened about a week ago...

I have this sensor that just goes to nothing what is it? Posted from the TurboBuick.Com mobile app

Well I was looking at the Junkyard today for tires that would fit on my 1991 ford escort. It's a car that I don't care about, so if I can find a good tire at the Junkyard for $15 I'm gonna buy it. Well I kinda got sidetracked (like I always do), and I was in the GM section looking for G body...

I don't know what's wrong but when I use the mobile app, I can't follow links. Almost every link I click on comes up as "link not found" but u see people commenting on whatever it was. They got through to it, so obviously the link CAN be found, there's just something wrong with the app... at...

Hey I need some turbo gurus to help me ID the turbo on my GN. :D My car had multiple exhaust leaks when I bought it and I took the turbo off to fix them and also found some shaft play, I wanna be prepared to buy a rebuild kit for it if possible and I need to know what to get. I have paperwork...

Ok. So I have a knock gauge in my modded 1986 GN. It's got a green section of leds, a yellow section of leds and a red section of leds. It's never been of much help. It's never been of much help because first I don't know for sure how to read it. and second, it will be whatever random color it...

As the title implies, I'm looking into getting another chip for my car. I have some no name chip and I wanna swap it out for peace of mind. Which chip should I get? i bought my car modded and I know most of the mods but I can't be sure on the internals of the motor. What would be the best kind...

Hey I have a 1986 GN with 51k original miles, and at highway speeds, the car runs fine at 65mph for like a mile, then it starts surging. It sounds like my engine cuts in and out when it happens and it keeps doing it until I'm going like 45 or 50 mph. What are the proper vaccum readings for that...

Hi everyone I just bought a 1986 GN, and I thought for sure it had an exhaust leak, but upon further inspection I found that the noise seems to be coming from the passenger side valve cover. I'm hoping it's just maybe a loose rocker, but if it does turn out to be a lifter, making the noise, do I...

Yeah yeah I'm sure a lot of other people wanna buy a scanmaster on here too, but hey, it doesn't hurt to ask :D if you've got a scanmaster and wanna sell it let me know what you want for it please. Thanks Posted from the TurboBuick.Com mobile app

Hey I just bought a 1986 GN, and the first thing i want to do to it is better brakes, what kits are there for me to still be able to use the stock GN wheels? Posted from the TurboBuick.Com mobile app

So just a quick question.. I'm pretty sure but not really haha, if a "GN" has a red T on the horn button does that mean it's a t type GN clone? Posted from the TurboBuick.Com mobile app

Hey guys I was just wondering if there were any great ways to see if the car really is a low miles car or if the odometer has rolled over already. I already know to just look at the wear and tear on the seat, steering wheel, shifter, and brake pedal, but are there any other things? Say like...

I was just wondering what if anyone here has air suspension on their cars and if so, how is it? What's a drawback to it besides being expensive, and heavier because of compressors and tanks? I'm just curious Posted from the TurboBuick.Com mobile app
