Thanks Jeremy..... I bought the CD eons ago for like $10 to go with my factory 25 lb. hardcopy and it has been invaluable for 'long-distance' diagnosis. Glad everything has worked out for you and thanks for enduring what you went thru (probably few know...) when you first put this out. If anyone...

Coolant Fan Delay Relay..... unplug that and see if it kills the draw.... it's the closest to the windshield of the three on the DS fenderwell, known for failure and running the battery down, and not necessary for proper fan function..... just unplug it and tape it off. it's in the same...

if it runs fine when you nail it, it's (probably) not the maf... if it has the stock chip, it is hard to tell... they idle like crap at cold start... mine always died at least once, even when new... very light throttle with the stock chip was not great either... hiccups were very common...

Good luck...lol... :)

I think I might try a couple smokin, squealin' launches in front of his house to see if it woke him up... maybe he'll come out and give you the thumbs up... or the finger, until he saw who's doing it???

Genious know-it-all with 36 posts...:rolleyes: OK, oh great one, since GM is so 'stupid', why did they put vacuum brakes on the Turbo TA?? yea, I guess the fuse has a resistance monitoring circuit that warns when the fuse is about to blow, and 'gives you a few warning signs'...:rolleyes...

stay with the stock pushrods in your case.... the valve springs you are ordering are basically stock replacements...(not a bad idea, and probably needed)... stock pushrods are fine with those springs.... clean 'em up and be done...save your money for something beneficial... new pushrods are...

2nd in line if he passes...fo' sho'...

You are wasting your time... period... scan tool or not... (why would you not have a scan tool??? :confused:) read this... well explained... FAQ-Buick Turbo Regal Chips - Thrasher Engineered Performance read #23-25 for your question... read it all for your general education.... oldie...

Yea.... my bad... correct... but bmcomputersvc was a major distributer also if i'm not mistaken??.... I'm old too.... obviously... :tongue:

Hilarious.... I was just going to post a WOW!!! Where has BMComputerSvc (maker of DirectScan) been all these years... funny....:) I believe you are close to the record... and TurboDave/Bob... your ages are showing!!!! :biggrin:

Heck ya! Hilarious! :biggrin: My buddy and I used the Kenne Bell chip back then and were into doing huge smokey donuts in any parking lot that we could find full of kids (like us) with T/A's, IROC's, and 5.0's... also LOVED racing all the kids with late 60's/early 70's chevy, pontiac, ford...

Those numbers are perfect... IAC=32 is fine...

I saw that on TV and said out loud, "WTF???, why did he pull the chute THEN??"... that was lucky as hell.... glad nothing came of it... I'm not a Force fan... 'specially after that BS last year when he 'struck the tires at the hit' against Hight to get him into the chase....big freakin'...

Wow.... as much as I hate to admit it, I watched some of that series last year (my wife loves it), and they showed Jeff and Gretchen riding thru Indy in a horse drawn carriage, and then at the Indy 500 (where she seemed to be drunkenly flirting with all the guys)... It was his last trip to Indy...
