@chris romani - what do you have a trickle charger running ? also, where did you get the large format GN protective towel? I have one, but much smaller. -tom

@chris romani - that baby is shine-in !!!! :)

@samgauto - I find I can literally rub them with my index finger and they come back to shine :).

@grass doctor / @chris romani here are some pics out of the garage today. @chris romani your absolutely right LOL, however what seems to make a world of a difference was the TPS/IAC adjustments made during normal temp, now that they are in-sync im not sure I really have any issue, although Im...

@grass doctor , what chip did you recommend from Eric?

@grass doctor , thanks lol. yeah I bought this definitely to drive it more than once a month I did not buy this for investment, not sure if I mentioned it but in my twenties I had a Grand national could only dream of a GNX so as kids we never really thought much about it. Now that is has become...

Spoke with turbolou bringing the car up to his on Saturday morning we are going to spend the day on it. He will hook it up to the oscilloscope and really get down to it. I will post exactly what we find, hope it can help some others perhaps.

Awesome thanks guys. Since I'm new to this forum, do I just reach out to turbo Lou in a thread?

@Anthony P ,@X Ray I used the Actron to set both the IAC and tps. After disconnecting the Actron the idle is much better! Idles warm around 750. I am in San Diego does anyone know someone reputable I could trust to give it a once over ? -tom

Here is the throttle body photos, very clean. you can see the previous owner got a little over-zealous on lubing the TPS :).

Anthony, I got her down to 29 IAC, .43 tps, @198 temp. Still idleing around 1000 rpm anyway to get that down to normal?

@samgauto - yeah I noticed that was missing. @grass doctor - can't seem to get idle below 1000 - 950, even at 191 COOLANT do you know if the IAC is correct ? I out a frame from 35 Seems there is no way this car can idle below 750, would stall in my case. It tries to drop down on initial...

Yeah totally a weekend type of thing once in a while. I'm taking some pics now

Ok this is all stock, with the stock chip. Just wondering if that was normal I guess it is.

@grass doctor ok will do. Is it always supposed to run either rich or lean ?

@grass doctor , I am in San Diego, Rancho Santa Fe to be exact. @Anthony P - Received my Actron scanner today, worked like a charm! thanks again for the great guidance. I recorded 10 frames of data, interesting info, let me dump some of it here, wondering if there is anything to conclude...

Hi Anthony, Here is a picture I just took of the fuel filter, looks original to me, doesn't even look like the bolt was cracked :) I will have the new scanner tomorrow for more data. In the meantime, do you recommend any fuel injector cleaner I could try ? or a fuel additive that may help...

Anthony P, Wow that's a lot of info, can't thank you enough. Sorry, my bad, yes I set it to 0.47, it was at .34, I went thought the whole scale from idle (0.47, incrementally up to WOT around 4.6). I will reset TPS to .42-.44. Is there an easier way to get most of the fuel out ? there is a...

let me take a look.

Thanks Chris, yes nothing in the car has been touched original plastic still on the seats from dealer. Do those chips just go bad like that ? Do you think the sensor I posted with the torn wire may be the issue ?
