    Low vacuum, rough idle, misfire under boost, looking for a little help in the greater Portland area

    So I bought my car non-running and completely dis-sassembled. After cleaning out the fuel system and putting a DW fuel pump, I got it running and driving, but I've got some small issues that I can't seem to resolve. My idle quality/vacuum isn't where I'd like it to be for a stock engine, and I...

    Little white clip on factor harness connection

    So I got my intake gasket, valve springs and valve cover gaskets replaced, and almost everything went back where it came from. I thought I labeled everything pretty well, but I have one small white plug that I remember removing, but I can't for the life of me remember what connetion it came off...

    Intake manifold corrosion on rear coolant ports

    So I've got my intake pulled off to do an intake manifold gasket. I'm going to do valve springs while I'm in it this far, but when I looked at the bottom of the intake manifold, I've got some pretty fair corrosion at the rear of the manifold where the rearmost coolant passage see's the bottom...

    Starter won't spin

    So I'm coming back home tonight, decided to stop for a couple of movies, and when I get back in, starter doesn't crank. I have lights and power everywhere, just no cranking. It's crappy and rainy, my date was very appreciative, and lastly: a random buddy drove by and gave us a lift home, so...

    FREE TO A GOOD HOME: Factory rear speaker hangars

    Anybody out there want these for a restoration/stocker? I replaced the factory rear speakers (I would include them but the speaker surround was completely gone) and figured somebody might want them for the actual cost to ship. Let me know, otherwise they are going in the recycle bin this...

    Blend door arm: anybody make these/have any NOS parts?

    Just wondering: these things are notorious for breaking, is anybody making these new or do you just hunt for one in the boneyards?

    Blend door arm

    Does anybody have any? Is this part that hard to find as an NOS part, or am I just not looking in the right places? Any thoughts are welcome/appreciated. Thanks

    Turbo Tweak

    Processed my order and shipped my PowerLogger quickly. Sounds like everybody knows TT does good things, but I like to give praise to those who do a great job for a GN newbie such as myself. Thanks again!

    Rough idle, slight miss cruising

    My car sat for several years before I bought it and started putting it back together. I have it running and driving, managed to pass the smog test, but it's never idled as well as I think a stocker should. I now have a PowerLogger and all the numbers look acceptable, however, I still have a...

    Passenger side lower interior lamp and passenger mirror remote

    My car was completely disassembled when I purchased it, and I've got almost everything out of my bag of fasteners. A couple things that I didn't remove and can't figure out the location/routing of is the passenger interior light that comes on with the door switches and the correct routing for...

    Arizona GN: two thumbs up

    I spoke to Nick for the first time via phone last week and explained that I was fighting a fuel pump issue that I needed to get sorted out quickly for an upcoming cruise I'm trying to make. After getting my information, Nick told me he would send me the parts out that day, before he even got my...

    Fuel pressure falls off while building rpm's: filter or FPR?

    So I have 28 psi at idle, and it goes up with boost if I free rev the engine. While doing my driveability test today, it builds about 5-7 psi of fuel pressure, then starts falling off to about 20 psi fuel pressure if I leave my foot in it until the car just about stops. I let off and it idles...

    Stumbles under almost any load, no boost lights on dash

    Car is totally stock with exception of K&N 8 inch filter and both valve cover breathers replaced. I have a new tuneup (plugs, wires, pcv, fluids) and I just installed the K&N this weekend. Seemed to run ok until this evening. I did notice after removing the factory air cleaner hardware that I...

    Dennis Kirban 8" K&N bracket

    I bought an 8" K&N filter installation kit and the bracket that holds the MAF is not even close to fitting. Is this common? Do people just not use the bracket? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

    Emission failed: filter on EGR solenoid?

    So I failed emmissions today, high HC (314 limit was 220). I had a very poor idle quality with the EGR plugged in, so I unplugged it and it ran better, however, it threw the "32" code. So when I got back today, I manually engaged the EGR, and the car stumbled and almost died, which sounds...

    Emergency Help Needed: Walker Muffler In/Out

    So I am putting new exhaust on my GN but I can't seem to figure out what the inlet and outlet are on my 22395 Walker Quiet Flow 3 muffler. Anybody know which ones (there are long and short tubes, top and bottom) are inlet or outlet? I want to finish this up and I have it in the air and...

    Hydroboost brakes sticking

    My converted hydroboost brakes have been sticking in the "on" position. Not every time, but once in a while I can tell the car won't roll the same as it should. When I crack the bleeders, there is pressure in brakes, confirming that they are sticking. I have a guess that the rod out of the...

    EGR: cause of bad idle and high HC at idle?

    So I removed and cleaned my EGR, reinstalled it, reset my TPS and IAC sensors, but my car still idles worse than I believe it should. I decarboned the intake (Seafoam via vacuum line) but I am still wondering about my EGR. Although I swore it held vacuum when I tested it, my car idles better...

    High Hydrocarbon at idle

    So I have to get my GN Washington emissions tested. The car failed due to a high HC number at idle. The car is bone stock, sat for 4 years, had bad fuel pump, it has a new fuel pump, all fluids changed, fresh tuneup, and no modifications. The idle quality is a little lumpy, but it idles down...
