    ECM Failure???

    Does anybody have any experiences with the ECM going bad on them. The reason I ask, is that the TurboTweak chip that used to run great now won't build over 5 lbs of boost and another chip that I had that ran strong no throws a rich (mal 45) code. I have replaced the fuel pressure regulator...

    Fuel Pressure and MAL 45 code

    I took the gn for a ride the other day and noticed o2 #'s in the high 800's and low 900's. I also have been getting the MAL 45 on the scanmaster. I stopped the car, popped the hood and attempted to lower the fuel pressure. I attached the gauge to the rail and no matter what i did, i couldn't...

    Dash cluster

    I just purchased an 87 grand national and the boost gauge and tachometer do not work. The dash is the one with the 85 mph speedometer. Anyone have an idea of where I could get a new cluster or anyone that repairs these? Thanks.

    Turbo Tweak - Wow!!!!

    I just installed my street chip last night and took it on a run so the ECM could learn the new setup. All I can say is wow!!! The idle is rock solid at 800-825 RPM, throttle response is instantaneous without any hesitation. Interestingly, the car used to stall when you would quickly let out...
