I had a bad ignition module cause very similar problems

Fixed it....ignition module was bad

I have an 86 GN and it runs fine when the belt to the alternator is taken off or the connector to the volt light is unplugged from the alternator. The second that I plug the connector back in the car backfires and dies. I had the alternator tested and it was bad so I replaced it and the...

After more messing around I got the car to run very well by....unplugging the connector to the alternator? I plug it in runs like crap...I unplug it again and runs perfect...I need to consult a wiring schematic to see what's going on. The only one I can find online is on gnttype.org and it's...

So I got the new Casper cam sensor cap in and installed it and the car went back to running like crap....it`ll start ok and run for a little then eventually die out after it sputters and backfires for a little bit. I put a reman ecm from a local parts store because it was inexpensive...

I ordered the cap from you instead...it would have cost 40 bucks in gas for me to drive so shipping by fed ex or ups is more cost effective and saves me 3 hrs of driving time. I`d like to check out the facilities sometime though.

Yea it seems that there are of people down here that are into turbo buicks....I`m also glad that GN`s are fairly simple cars to diagnose and work on compared to some of the other stuff I see...I just wish I had more spare parts lying around so that when something does fail I can fix it...

Thanks a bunch...I suppose I only need the cap since the body of the cam sensor is ok....I think I`m headed to Mebane, NC for a bicycle race tomorrow so I could always stop by if anyone in Burlington thinks that they have a cap or sensor they would part with. If not, perhaps some other local...

Thanks guys... I think I have a couple of problems all at once....I went over all the pins that went to the ecu and checked for continuity to ground just to see if I lost a ground and everything seemed ok. I plugged the ecm back in and the car ran better but still not ideal so I tugged on the...

the iac is a couple of years old but the problem involves more then a low idle...I can floor it and there will be no difference in rpm or anything. It will still stumble at around 325 rpm`s and then finally die. Then start right back up for around 5 seconds and repeat all over again. I just...

I have a GN that drove fine the last time I took it out. However, I tried starting it after about a week and it starts up but bogs down and loads up and backfires after a few seconds then idles at around 300 RPM no matter what the throttle position is. I`ve disconnected the MAF to see...

I have a spare hood with no rust....it needs body work to make perfect but shouldn`t be too much for an experienced bodyman. It is currently in primer and has had previous body work performed by Ray Charles or Stevie Wonder It is located in Saugerties NY I can send pictures I`m asking...

that`s ok. shipping it will be fine. i have to change the headers from these ancient atr`s to stock anyway.... thanks for the offer though. i have a set of ancient atr`s for sale if anyone`s interested :)

i can come get it tomorrow or this weekend if your available
