Earlier this winter (as much as florida can have a winter)
I began my msd 50 lb inj swap...the swap went fine right up until I went to attach the fuel return line to the FPR...nope x-threaded
thats not a cheap part (even used)
so i get the part and realize its going to be (and was) a bitch to swap out....
i got done with that and though i was ready to retune the car (with new chips)
however when i went to start the car it would high idle for 10 seconds and then die...over and over....after it got warm and went closed it would run, but rough.....and would throw code 44 (lean)...so i first started thinking o2 sensor, possible IAC....o2 seemed fine with high x counts, and IAC #'s were suspect so i replaced it today....
same result, high idle, never got a chance to reset IAC as the car wouldnt run...at first....once it was running without dying i was attempting to make sure i had NO vac leaks
in doing so i decided to tap the maf....HOLY MOLY!!! car stumbles.....well ok then...i guess my 134k mile maf finally died on me.....
in the mean time i attempted to reset the iac and tps despite the maf issues as the car was finally running normally at idle, except the code.....
whoops, tps sensor cracked on me!!!! dammit!!!!!
so im done for the nite, have all but decided to go maf translator (non plus) with lt1 maf (for monetary reasons) and going to stick with the chips i just bought vice going extender for the time being.....
also need to pick up a tps and am probably going to "hone" it as I have always had a hard time setting mine....
sorry so long, just ranting i guess on the breakability of these cars with age....
