    Directscan won’t link.

    My directscan will not link for some reason. The port settings are correct and it worked fine in the past. I haven’t used it in awhile because my laptop would not start up. That is fine now so I tried it out but no luck. I cleaned all the connections on the computer and every pin. I checked...

    I searched for a list of all the bulbs in an 86 GN and a post appeared containing a pdf file with the info but I keep getting a sorry pop up and I can’t open it. Has it been relocated?

    Lost instrument panel wiring page from my body manual.

    I printed the entire Buick body manual years ago. I don’t even know if it was on a disc or what. It’s not the stuff On gnttype.org and it was clear. My old eyes can’t read the schematics on that site. I seem to be missing the last pages of the manual. Does anyone have a clear schematic of the...

    New ride-Old ride must go(pics)

    Its a BMW 2000 740i . 62,000 miles Apen Silver. This thing cruises effortlessly at triple digit speeds like you were doing 60mph and you can throw it into a turn like a sports car-no tire squeal little, body lean, effortless. For a 4000 lb vehicle similar in size to my 95 Impala SS-you can toss...

    Just a note that I have loaded some recent pics of my Gn onto a new web page. My shoulder still aches from months of stripping, sanding , wet sanding, compounding, polishing, etc. I think it was worth it. ;) Here's the link: http://home.comcast.net/~ravellar/page1.html

    Motor rebuilding questions.

    I will be pulling my motor out for rebuilding soon. It developed a rod knock i think. Motor was rebuilt 150,000 miles ago and I don;t think the crank was turned at that time. I also have 2 spare cranks-one which I think can just be cleaned up and the other that will need at least .10 Here are...

    Anyone replace either rod bearings or mains in the car successfully?

    Injured my newly restored and painted GN on the dyno last Sun. Developed what I believe to be a rod knock. I haven't dropped the base yet but plan to do it Friday. Sounds like rod knock to me and my oil temp went up for a while on the ride home about 20-25 degrees but gradually came down almost...

    Can't find my Extender programming instructions

    I misplaced my extender chip programming manual. Ramcharger's doesn't have this part of the manual online and i can't find it anywhere. I bought it from Full Throttle. It is the instructions concerning the numbers in the block learns and what #s to put into the blocks. It is the latest version...

    Will this alternator work?

    This is a 1 wire replacement alternator but i guess the small wire is supposed to be taped off and not used and the idiot light will no longer function. I don't mind the idea of the idiot light not being part of the charging circuit since when a bulb blows out or if it gets loose the alt won't...

    Replacing bearing(s) in the alternator.

    Is this difficult to do? My alternator is charging just fine but it sounds like the bearings are ready to let go. I put a screwdriver on the alternator and used it like a stethescope to make sure it wasn't the tensioner pully. If it isn't hard to do and it doesn't require any special tools I'll...

    Why the"*&#@ won't my car start???

    Here's the scenario: Car starts fine if I start it every day. Car many times will not start after sitting through the weekend. When it does not start it does have spark to the plugs. Injectors are being pulsed as I have checked them with a light designed for the injector harness. Fuel...

    What MAF and LV8 values should I see with Translator + and Extender chip?

    Just in the beginning stages of tuning with the T+ and extender chip. At the moment I have only limited road access for allowing the ECM to fully learn everything in (car not completed yet). But, I am trying to dial in my base settings at least at idle. I have a 3" MAF from an Alero and am using...

    How long should fuel pressure hold?

    Mine will stay at 38 psi without moving at all for 10 minutes. Then it proceeds to drop of at a rate of about 1 psi/minute. (After the fiirst 10 minutes are up it drops off by 18 lbs iover the next 14 minutes). I don't understand why it can hold rock solid for the first 10 minutes and then...

    Translator + installed and extender chip but have settings questions

    Part # on chip is BSC57B1F. This is for 36 lb bluetops. Anyway, I installed the T+ and chip today but did not have time to hook up the timing wires and did not have my laptop with directscan to monitor anything or program some of the chip functions. I have a 3" MAF from an Olds Alero that I got...

    Line lock switch connection.

    Not sure what might be the best way to mount the LL switch. I plan on using a Hurst button mounted on the stick, just below the shifter handle. My question is what is the best (neatest) way to run the wires up through the factory console? Is there room to somehow come up through the black...
