Start here... http://www.gnttype.org/techarea/maintenance/maintpage.html Lots of useful info on this site. It may be something simple. TPS setting, spark plug, plug wire, MAF going bad, etc. Have a spark plug that is a different color than the rest? Eliminate the simple stuff first. Monitor...

Wordy1, As you can probably see from the posts so far, there is no single answer to your problem. Everyone's combo is different. You need to post your combo in order to get useful help. Raising and lowering fuel pressure will have different effects on different setups. Timing, fuel pressure...

I agree, list of mods please. You should be able to run more than 16 lbs of boost with 100 octane. I was able to run 16 lbs on 93 octane. I believe Eric's street chip is for 93 octane. Check with him. Concerning how much knock is o.k. Zero knock is o.k. I sometimes get a couple of degrees of...

Well, My headliner had some issues. The hole in the headliner for the interior light was in the wrong place by about 6 inches. I had to cut a new hole. I made a template from a piece of the old headliner. Luckily, the fabric was still covering the original (wrong) hole so I figured I could...

Justabuickv6, Got it, thanks! I've always been curious as to what is contained in a carfax. Since I'm the original owner, I obviously know it's history. Clean as a whistle! Thanks again, Larry

How about this one? 1g4gk4771gp436677 Thanks in advance! myleslong_49@hotmail.com __________________

I think Brian @ G-body parts can put a new hoop on it as long as the center section is o.k. I have the same looking wheels and they say Enkei on the back if you look real close. I hit a pothole and bent mine in about half as bad as yours and was able to get them straightened ...I think yours is...

I have one on order now. About 2 week delivery time I'm told. I saw one in a fellow Buick owners car a couple weeks ago and it looked great. By the way, the front and rear headliner trim clips are available from the dealer. part# 20095324. I broke every one of mine trying to get them out...

Looks like I might actually make it this year. I've been interested in attending the fling for the last couple of years, but I've always had a conflict in my schedule. I'm open this year, so count me in. Is the bank located right in town? or north? south? I'm fairly familiar with Chelsea. See...

I'm using the RJC boost controller with stock wastegate actuator and Razor alky kit. I can dial in 22~25lbs of consistent boost. I'm currently dialed into 22lbs. No problems for me. I'm sure there are differences between cars...mine has fairly low milage. No need for a heavy duty actuator for...

If your seeing DA marks in the paint, they are under the paint! You will never get rid of them without re doing the prep job and repainting. The quality of the paint job depends on the prep work underneath it. If you are actually seeing "color sanding" marks in the clear coat, the fix is to...

Thanks for the replys . I'm gonna change everything out. The more I look, the more cracked and rotten looking hoses I find. Funny...seems like just yesterday this car was new. Regards,

Thanks noslo6, Makes perfect sense. Thanks for the explaination. I'd rather feel dumb than blow my 62,000 mile original motor! Easiest fix ever. Best regards, Larry

Started having a problem yesterday. I opened the hood and noticed that my fuel pressure regulator vacuum line was off. I assumed that I forgot to re-connect it after checking my line off fuel pressure the day before. I re-connected it and checked it again after a few high speed blasts that...

esinger, I can't answer your question concerning when you know you've reached the highest timing. Let me caution that I have zero experience with hot air cars, so take what I say as my experience only. For many years I used an old Hypertec stage 3 chip. I believe it had 23 degrees timing...

Set the TPS, fix the crack, check out how much timing in the chip, and everything will be much better. Exhaust leaks kill boost. Generally speaking, a fairly aggressive chip should allow around 16lbs of boost without knock on 93 octane gas. My experience is... a otherwise stock TR running 16lbs...

M/T drag radials, I put them on my 16" wheels, and was able to pull 1.78 60' times leaving at 0 boost. (20 lbs air and no tubes) I also have a 3200 non-lockup convertor, so high boost launches are out of the question unless I'm running slicks.....thats o.k. with me. 1.70s on a no boost, easy on...

Wow! Same exact timing!

Jack the car up. Get both rear wheels off the ground. (Use jack stands for safety) Put the car in neutral. Spin a rear tire. If both tires spin in the same direction, it's a posi. If one tire goes backwards it isn't. Larry
