    High BLMs-Prepping for CA SMOG

    Thanks dank GN, I was under the impression that high BLMs will cause the smog test to fail. I swapped out the emissions chip with the chip provided with my alky kit (this is what i use daily). They are both labeled TT (which I presume is a Turbo Tweak chip) The BLMs came down BLM 133 INT...

    Intermittent Checking Engine Light correlating with Radio and Air Con Power

    I did notice that the positive terminal was a bit loose. It is an extended bolt with spacer to accommodate the amp wire. Before tightening it, I tapped all the connectors (battery terminals, mags, mat, ECU, ac, that could affect this. Cannot duplicate the issue. Also, no loose wires...

    Intermittent Checking Engine Light correlating with Radio and Air Con Power

    Hi Folks, Issue came back. same sympstom. Check Engine light comes on, radio, HVAC lights, Scanmaster blanks out. Engine would stall but can recover (for the most part) when I press the gas. No issue with Air Filter connections. I am thinking the translator plus is the cause as it is the...

    Intermittent Checking Engine Light correlating with Radio and Air Con Power

    Hi Folks, Think I found the problem. One of the PVC fittings to my K&N air filter completely not connected. Possibly sucking in debris intermittently and choking the engine. Gremlin has not come back yet. Keep you posted.

    Intermittent Checking Engine Light correlating with Radio and Air Con Power

    Hi Folks, While driving, > 30 MPH my Check Engine light would come on for a second and go away. Intermittency is now more frequent and noticed the check engine light would coincide with my Radio and AC losing power as well. I think my scan master would also not work. In addition, I just...

    High Idle after Spark Plug and Wires Change

    Adjusting the IAC screw seems to have fixed it. TPS is now a bit off down to .37 and will adjust this weekend. Some of the hose were not as tight but adjusting those did not help. I'm suspecting the new plugs and wire may have thrown off the IAC/TPS. Keep you posted if the adjustments to the...

    New EGR Valve Check-Could not get engine to choke

    Yes...i pushed the diaphram up. Very Slight reduction in RPM but not stall. Same response with new EGR. I also pulled the EGR off, cleaned with carb cleaner and verified functionality. It will hold vacuum and valve is responsive and not getting stuck. Diaphram is solid..no cracks. Can a...

    New EGR Valve Check-Could not get engine to choke

    Hi Folks, Chasing high NOX and smog check is pointing at the EGR. Verified the old and new EGR by pushing up on the diaphram and using Mity Vac. It will hold vacuum and I can get the valve to open up. But when it is on the engine and hooking up a Mity Vac up, the response to the idle is...

    Blue Smoke Under boost-when putting stock Oil Filler Cap-

    I do have the stock valve cover inlet into the turbo. Are you saying that with my set up, I cannot use my stock oil filler cap? I am thinking with any set up, I should be able to use my stock oil filler cap and not generate blue smoke...therefore something else (abnormal) is causing the...

    Brake Response of Hydroboost vs PM vs Vacuum

    Thanks folks for all the positive responses. Thinking of doing this myself and want the easiest install. I've researched the similar threads and may go with the 84/85 hb set up and I assume I can get most of the parts from OReilly or autozone. Do I need to do much modification to the mounts...
