I have an 87 GN 63k. The guy I bought it from had put a 3" down pipe, A Red Armstrong 93 octane chip, a wench style tie down strap connected to the alternator ?, K&N filter and bigger air intake tube. He also supplied me with all the original parts as well. Now here is what the car is doing.... Starts up great, cold idles great until it idles down. Then it stalls. It keeps stalling until up to running temp then runs great. Changed out coolant temp sensor and manifold sensor. No change. Used scan master tool to set TPS and IAC. No change. All of the settings are to spec on the scan master. Also under hard acceleration it seems like the transmission is slipping right before the car shifts. I took it to a transmission shop and they said that it is fine, but the throttle control needed to be adjusted since it was too far out. He adjusted it test drove it and said there you go.... I drove it and I didn't notice a change at all. It will redline like it is in neutral until you let off the gas and then it shifts. If you manually shift it, it is fine. I want to put the car back to stock as I feel it will more than likely run a hell of a lot better without all the toys bolted on. If I take out the Red Armstrong chip do I need a stock chip or will it automatically reset? If anyone can help me with any of these issues that would be awesome!! Car is in the body shop getting some fresh paint so I figured I would get some info. Thanks!
She's so expensive I'm getting another one to keep mostly stock. A cheaper date!!
