    Block Learn education needed

    with regards to the air flow reading, the altitude affects gps. i used to live in new mexico at 4500ft. i would get 5 gps. i moved to texas last month, and at sea level the air flow went to 6-7 gps.

    How to clean carbon from pistons?

    i used castrol super cleaner. comes in a purple gallon jug. it works terrific. don't leave pistons in there for more than 3-4 hours. it left a line around the edge of the piston skirt that i couldn't get off. might not be a problem, but it doesn't need to be there. also, chem-tool works...

    Bad fuel pump or what?

    if you can't hear the pump priming when you flip the key on, then it's barely running, or not at all. it's probably just barely running since you have a few psi. get a new one.

    Tachometer and Boost Lights seemed reversed?

    Not reversed... BROKEN my tach and boost gauge did the exact same thing. exactly! the tach climbs from 0-redline gradually after you turn the key? the boost gauge reads like 2-3 psi at idle, and it goes up as you accelerate? that's what mine did. i didn't really worry about it, but it...

    cooling fan won't come on at all

    no thanks, my fan works when hot wired to the battery. should i be getting and voltage from the green/yellow wire on the high speed relay? i get 6-7v. the red and brown wires get the 14v i talked about. that is correct for sure. but that green/yellow wire should be a ground, but i don't know...

    cooling fan won't come on at all

    there's power there. on the high speed fan relay, there's 14v on one wire when the a/c comp. is on. 14v on two of the wires when the a/c comp. kicks off. maybe, i should check the grounds going to the relay. ;) anything else? oh yeah, i have bypassed the resistor to make it send 13-14v...
