    Offset Question

    Okay. Here is my dilemma. My car has Eibach springs and I just installed the Baer 2 inch drop spindles. The car looks great but the front tires rub on the outer edge on the inner fender. Currently the car has the aluminum repop stock looking wheels. I'm assuming the offset is the same as...

    alky control always on

    Hey guys, been awhile. I finished the install of the alky control unit today and I didn't pass my tests :( For some reason the system is always spraying. As soon you turn the unit on it starts spraying. If I unplug the MAP sensor the test button works as it should. Is the PAC reading boost...

    02 sensor question

    Could a bad 02 sensor cause a car to run lean? I was installing an air fuel gauge, and obviously in doing this you have to mess around with the wires. When I started the car afterwards it ran VERY lean - 02 millivolts never went above 150. I took a short drive and it ran fine under no boost...

    TDC question

    It appears that I have found my misfire. My cam sensor was failing and has now bit the dust all together with the discovery that the metal ring had significant play... then the metal tab broke. So here is my question. I can't rely on the alignment of the old sensor so I must set TDC...

    simple cam sensor question...

    What holds the cam sensor in place? When I see the pictures of them out of the car I don't see any bolts. I need to remove mine and I can't find a thread on what actually holds it in place? Do you have to remove the metal ring or not for it to come out?

    Is my cam sensor bad?

    Went to change the cam sensor cap chasing a misfire and I think my whole cam sensor is bad - now it won't run. The metal ring inside the cam sensor cap spins either direction freely, I don't believe it's supposed to do that. Am I right? Does it need a whole new cam sensor or is it repairable?

    No 02 Sensor

    So I have had my car for about 6 weeks now and I have spent that time doing the "spring cleaning" as well as getting the car simply running right. This brings me to my question... As I've been dissecting system after system cleaning and repairing various odds and ends I made a discovery that...

    Torque Converter Identification

    A new GN owner wants to know whats in front of his trans! My guess is that it's the stock 87 GN torque converter, however, I have been surprised by some other upgrades this car has. The torque converter isn't painted but it has a "5" between every spline. Any ideas?

    Scan Master #'s and Questions

    I've had my GN now for 3 weeks and finally got the scanmaster hooked up. The car stumbles a bit at idle and I was convinced it was running rich, however, now I am not so sure. The basic signs tell me it's running rich. I have pulled plugs and they show rich and I can practically smell the...

    Help me identify these injectors

    Long story short I just purchased a GN and the previous owner handed me a bag with the original injectors. However he was not sure what the ones were that he put in. Any help is appreciated.
