Weak coil module would be my first guess. Swap it out. Brad
You think that the car would run like **** all the time but when i get the car started it runs great except the pinging. Now i just started reading the tt chip instructions and it told me to check the setting in the translator well i think it was set wrong but im not understanding all the adjustments for wot and all that . The fuel pressure was at 33 so i removed vac line and adjusted to 43 like instructions said to do but it all says something about idle air switch to . Car is started right now and idling good . I just really wish i had someone close to me that new these cars haha right . well car stalled and now it wont start it cranks but like its not getting fuel now

Jawbone... where in PA are you located... make sure you visit us at MAGNA on www.turbobuicks.com
We are hyper local to you, servicing all of the Mid atlantic region! They just had a meet in PA today!!! Im in northern NJ, and we have a heap-load of members in PA!!! You can find someone close without issue!
As far as your issue, we need some numbers. Do you have a boost guage? Do you have a scanmaster or powerlogger? Reason im asking, we need to know what boost, octane, o2's, maf/mat values and all that... With that info, we can find out if the pinging is knock or an internal issue...
Good luck!!!

Well i just realized that i cant hook up the scanmaster until i put all the 87 stuff back in the car and the car wont run with that stuff in it .I want to say it has to do with programming the chip and i have tried that numerous times and cant get it right So i really dont no what do do
So i really dont no what do do
