a dead short might have fucked the eeprom. and you might be in limp home mode. wen i get my laptop back and after i get klabs car figured out i can pull the tune from your car and take a look at it?

If you get the chance and we haven't figured it out yet then yeah mike that would be awesome. Thank you.

Well, did some more looking around, egr valve was bent and not closing all the way.
So, pulled it off and deleted it lol.

Once again, it's a little better but still has a stumble and loads up/shoots flames when you rev it. At least it's not backfiring anymore. I can almost drive it regularly but it's still not sellable.
Need to sort this out, CAR NEEDS TO GO!!! Found a fifth gen we want but need the cash from this to make the numbers work...

Might be rehashing stuff again here but did you check for exhaust leaks before the O2 sensors?

bottledbird68 08-31-2011 05:12 PM

Yes we did and no there isn't

ILuvPizzaTimes10 08-31-2011 07:23 PM

At this point without looking at it. I have no idea.

I'm ready to just try a fresh set of plugs for the hell of it and see what happens.
After that I'm lost too. Ready to let it go much cheaper just to get the fifth gen we want if that doesn't solve it. I dunno. Hate to take a 2 grand hit though over something stupid but I don't want to lose the other car either. Hmm...

Just saw in your FS thread that the car has Taylor wires, I've heard of them arcing many times. Do you have another set of wires kicking around you could try? Probably another dead end but just throwing it out there.

Honestly alex that's about what it feels like now is a bad plug.
Was thinking the next step was toss a set of plugs at it. If it sticks around long enough I may as well do wires too. Tough to follow them since they still route in the factor location under the valve covers.
Any idea what part number people use for otvc wires on lt1's?
Would be nice to get all the money for it and not take a loss.

yeah taylors suck get a set of cut to fit accels or msds and get the opti boot kit from Thunder Racing and get the hand crimp tool. if you dont get one i have one.
