you wouldn't happen to have a pic of that would you? i don't see anything like your describing.

Hmm I must have disconnected it at the sensor and left it hooked up to my old harness. Ill have to look.

 

Ok I found it. I left it on my old harness lol. Do I need the egr sensor? I'm not putting any of the other smog crap in the car.

 

The lack of egr solenoid will set a code 32

 

What exactly does this do? I imagine its for emissions purposes. Can I get rid of it? I want to get rid of the whole line. I don't have to pass any kind of emissions test by the way.

 

Hey what do I do about the neutral safety switch?

 

Connect the wires together to bypass it. Yellow to green
The picture you are showing the tank pressure control valve.

 

Alright, do you know what wires I need to splice my shifter harness into?

 

I can't recall, it has been more than a decade since I have had out a thirdgen dash harness.

 

Ill look at the wiring diagram.

I've got most of the wiring done, a few more things to do like put oil and coolant in it and install accessories and i should be set. Im going to crank it tomorrow To see if Its wired right lol. Here's where I'm at now! I think it looks good so far!

 

IT RUNS!!! Engine is running as I type. Thanks for all the help! There's a couple little things that need to be finished but at least it's running! The alternator isn't charging so I need to check my connections.

 

Check for power at the fan relay on the brown wire koeo iirc its hot.
Looking good, I sent you a email

 

Ok well now it's charging but it's putting out 15.2 volts. Is that too much or is that ok?

 

sounds like your battery was low on charge.

 

Yea it's reading 14.6 now so should be good. Ill upload a video soon. What do I do just upload to YouTube then link it here?

 

Hey tuned could the fact that my ECM isn't tuned cause the engine to smoke at idle? I thought it was the header paint at first but that should be finished smoking by now. How long should it take new header gaskets and paint to quit smoking?

 

Smoke from under the hood or out the exhaust ? I have used VHt exhaust manifold paint and with three heat cycles it will still smoke a little .

 

Well I've just got headers on it right now and the smoke is hazing kind of everywhere but out the exhaust mostly I think. It burns your eyes if your around it too much if that helps lol. And my idle stays between 1000-1200 rpms which seems a little high.

 

Could my timing be causing this?

 

I think this header paint is what's smoking. I thought it would be done by now but I guess not.

 

header paint cam smoke for quite awhile, btw your pulley didnt get picked up today but i have a few packages and it scheduled for pickup tomorrow

 

Alright that's fine. As soon as that gets here I can put it on and drive to the exhaust shop and get my exhaust put on. Then ill actually be able to hear for leaks and if I need to tighten my rockers a little.

 

Hey any idea what these connectors go to?

 

Those are the dual fan wires, the longer one is the primary drivers side

 

Hey is the iac motor supposed to stop some time when you ground out pin A and B when adjusting your minimum idle speed? Mine just keeps whining. I'm trying to figure out why my idle is so high, it stays between 1200-1400 rpms and drops to 1000 in gear.

 

It will still make a noise when commanded in. The iac is ratcheting while its bottomed out.
Make sure you unplug the connecter while commanded in then make the minimum adjustment.

 

I drove it today. Runs good but still needs some fine tuning. I need to get one of those cables so I can hook my laptop to the car and fine tune the iac and tps. There's something up with my steering. I have all new tie rods and sleeves, no alignment yet but got as close as I could with a tape measure and my steering is really loose and feels sort of like its rolling over a "bump" in some spots when turning.

 

Hey what exactly could be making it run as rich as thing is? It'll have some small backfires on decel and I'm getting absolute crap gas mileage. Timing is at ~5* BTDC, should It be advanced more? I guess it could still need a tune as well but would that help significantly?

 

Base timing should be 6 degrees. If its 100% stock than you should be fine with the stock tune

 

Engine is a 4 bolt main 880 casting out of a 94 truck, supposedly has notch too pistons, roller cam with .510 lift don't know duration and roller lifers and flat tappet valves. I haven't had the engine apart so I don't know the truth behind that.

 

Probably needs some tuning then

 

Advance it as much as it will take even 8-10 with the est disconnected. This will recurve the timing. but once all tune up items are covered and you can datalog
I can help refine the tuning. Its sounds fairly rich or a vss issue. DFCO
Decel fuel cut of is set on decel so the poping is a rich condition or the cut off time need to be increased. I wouldn't worry about that yet

 

Ok vss issue is likely because that retrofit I bought doesnt quite fit right. I forgot to mention this after I installed it. The retrofit threads are either a little different than what's on my tranny or the threads on the tranny are stripped. You can only tighten it very little or it will jump threads and be loose again. I have it tight as it'll take which isn't much. It's reading way high though, like 20-30mph high. And I don't have the original speedo cable attached to it either, there was absolutely no way it would fit with the retrofit attached. It would hit the body so it's not on but I guess I don't need it since its still reading my speed just high.
