    Current Draw

    So I finally have a chance to chase down this current draw that drains the battery, and I was just wondering what reading I am shooting for. I have a digital multimeter set to 200ma and when I test, I'm getting an 11.5 reading (11.5 ma?). I unplug the large fan relay and it drops to 7.5, so...

    Weird electrical "issue"

    I'm installing my scanmaster and an electric fuel pressure gauge (Prosport Evo) on my '87 GN and I'm seeing a weird problem with the gauge where it is flickering - not on and off, but not staying bright. I think I've pretty much ruled the gauge out, putting 12v directly to it works fine, and...

    Fuel Line contacting Intercooler Bracket

    So when I was replacing my cam and crank sensor I took the intercooler out for clearance and to clean it all up. When putting it back together one of the fuel lines is rubbing against the intercooler bracket, and is about an inch away from the other fuel line. I obviously don't want it...

    Front Bumper Reinforcement

    When I was pulling my front grill off to clean it I knew I would have to replace the springs as my car didn't have them and my grill was only held on by the three bolts on top. The grill is complete and not broken, so I ordered grill springs from Kirbans and figured I'd put them on when I...

    O2 Volts Not Stable At Idle - Normal?

    OK, so I finally was able to cobble together a laptop from spare parts to connect to DirectScan, I'm trying to get this car tuned after a few years of being stored. Looking at DScan readings the O2 Volts are swinging wildly at idle - idle is from 680-750 RPM (Red's 93 chip with a 700RPM idle)...

    Pulsing in brake pedal and clicking noise

    Hey all, I've done some searching but I can't find my specific problem. '87 GN, PM brakes, new accumulator 1 year ago (hard pedal and brake light, neither have returned). I was checking things out (car was in storage out-of-state since last Stepember and I trailered it home last month) and I...

    Cam Sensor Replacement - A Beginners Journey

    So, I just spent yesterday evening replacing my cam sensor in my '87 Grand National for the first time, and I figured since there are a lot of posts about the adjustment but none on the actual replacement I'd lay out some tips and tricks for the first timer that worked for me. Some of you more...

    WTB: Front turn signal bezels

    Hello! I'm looking for the bezels for the front turn signals on my '87 Grand National, the ones in the front bumper below the headlights. They went missing after a repaint about 10 years ago (by the time I noticed they were missing we couldn't find them at the shop) and it's time to replace...

    I'm on the road and pretty screwed

    Hi, I know this a real shot in the dark but I am trying to get my car back to New Jersey from Wisconsin and am at at a rest stop in indiana, mile marker 55 on Rt 80 eastbound, just outside of south bend. I got about 100 miles and the car started backfiring and missing. I let it sit for a half...

    Car won't crank

    Hi guys, I posted about this a couple of months ago, my friend is storing my 87 GN after my move from Milwaukee and it simply stopped cranking. Power seems ok, we get lights, just no crank when we turn the key. I'm now at the car and need to drive it back from Milwaukee to NJ next weekend, but...

    Car Won't Crank

    Hi there, I was hoping I could get some ideas. My situation: I just moved to NJ from just outside of Milwaukee, WI. Between the U-Haul with all my stuff, my wife and I's daily drivers and the two cats, I had to leave my '87 GN at my friends house in Wauwatosa, WI, in his garage. I will be...
