    87 GN running like %$#@ HELP!

    Sounds like a good place to start.. the idle when started went straight up past 3000.. it did settle down. I was coasting to a stop light and the engine just died.. it started right up, but continued to occur. I dont have a clue.

    John.. We did that.. we swapped out a known good one and no improvement... we swapped out the alky map sensor,, and again same result... Like I said , Rick is very thorough.. just this particular problem escapes us...gotta be an electrical issue.. just gotta track it down..

    NEW RJC FMIC AND RADIATOR INSTALLED!

    Yes you are correct.. Peter said the same thing to me. Mine will be set up the same way.. Last year it was running pretty high.. Near 200.. I just replaced the radiator as well this year and haven't seen it creep over 170, so I should be good. Posted from the TurboBuick.Com mobile app

    NEW RJC FMIC AND RADIATOR INSTALLED!

    Yep.. That's what I'm gonna have to do.. There's just not enough clearance on the passengers side. How does the smaller fan work for you?? Any issues??

    NEW RJC FMIC AND RADIATOR INSTALLED!

    Peter didn't say.. The housing is shallower in that it doesn't protrude into the engine bay as far.. Giving more clearance for the passenger pipe. It might have the same ccm.

    Clint... Peter at ALRADCO sent the shallower fan for the passenger side yesterday... Should have it mounted up soon. I'll post pics when I get it all buttoned up.

    NEW RJC FMIC AND RADIATOR INSTALLED!

    I'm not saying that you'll have the hurdles we did,, just giving you what we experienced. Im waiting on a slimmer passenger side fan, which should solve the clearance problem, thus completing my upgrade. My car looks great but without some great help, I wouldn't have gotten these results.
