yea im using terrells maf its a reman one from kragens works good. in my car hes obviously not gonna need i for ever

i think we need to change your wires out the repair you did on that wire isnt sufficient. i have the tool to cut it shorter and re crimp it. we can change them around. or i have some wires you can use brand new i used as a temporary taylor custom fit wires, with msd ends and boots lol.


also did you ever check compression on cyl #8 . maybe we should running compression as well. or another no bad idea is to see if the cam timing is correct and not retared or advanced. or if the chain stretched or what have you. also now that we changed some bad parts around we could try my dizzy too just to throw it out there.

if u wanna borrow a good maf, you can use mine. not like im using it. only catch is you gotta come and get it.

All good ideas!!!


o.k., let's try out the different wires and a different maf.


How bout' this weekend Eric if it doesn't rain?

i believe i have sunday off pizza and beer at irocdaddy's house

Was this a flood damaged car? Lots of electrical problems. Just pick up a harness, all sensors and a reman ecm, get frustrated, throw some tools around, and do a counter clockwise rain dance around it while someone puts it all in and it may work. Before you lagh realize this is the LAST option you have at this point!

no this car is pristine ...

I know, ive seen the pics, and i dont think anyone would invest this much time into a totall, but this may be the most cursed third gen ever! no matter what cc says about the ones they pick up.

It's on then for Sunday Eric-


Let's get this pile figured out. We know we don't have to pull the intake parts anymore.


I am leaning towards a ignition issue.


Bring your dizzy/wires and a maf buuuudddy!

I might just have to make a guest appearance this weekend then, provided I don't break another torque arm mount doing a burnout

how is the maf gonna get to you?

grandma enzo

dave call me it's virgel Henny's friend with the supercharged 383 ta. I will give you a hand. I just need to know more about your set up. call me at 257-1511. I go back to work on the 22 of this month. If it needs a chip I can get it done this weekend if I can get a hold of friend.

You can burn chips?

dont u need the adapter to burn the chip to adapt to the ecm.?

Yeah Mike, just because a guy has the equipment to burn a chip, doesn't mean he can just make 1 for anybody.
You need to have your own equipment first (e.g, adapter or memcal or whatever your model needs) in order to send the modified file into your ECM.
I know Alex's TBI required him to actually solder the PROMinator to the ECM as opposed to just plugging it into a memcal like the TPI guys.
Not sure what the TBI needs if you go the chip route.

The guy I know burns chips for almost any GM V8 cars. He did my chip for my car and that thing is done from the ground up. A he has a 87 vette with a 434 stroker in it. We also have a few friends that tpi's and he burns all of are chips. We run stock computer's and wiring in are cars, not DFI. We have converted over to ford 90mm mas air flow sensors. Now we are tuning the cars. For what we know we are the first people around here to do it.

where is he getting the stock style memcal's?

We take a calculated maf table and plug that in to the comp. and tune from there.

im talking about the memcal, its a tangible object, and its mandatory to have in a stock ecm. how is he editing those cuz as far as i know, they are one time written only.

who needs chips when you have carbs

fuel injection> < carbs

dude i had a dream you died for some f*ckin reason...donno if you wanted to know that or not but ya

UMMMM..... quikest cars i know of run carbs, sure fi is great for mileage, but so are 4 cylinders.

Sowhats the verdict? Found the problem or just made a 12 pack dissapear?

his cars at bennies shop right know. bennie has some new found wisdom and wanted another crack at it

Terrell-

What happened to those 18's you had?

they end up on Steve's new bird?


Yeah, many want a crack at the iroczz4 test of tuners briggade

yeah, I got a set of these should have them in about 2 weeks

looks like the million dollar tpis stage 4 chip form 98, no it needs tooning looks like

shutup you dont even know how to put on wiper blades.

who's motor is blown

nice comeback, at least my bottom end isnt next in line to blow

hahaha, funny guys.

wow, duh, the chip must be a totally outdated tune, especially after the mods since.

this could be the weekend guys.....


i may have a chipped 400 horse rock yet

the chip guy is supposed to make it happen this weekend.


cross your fingers again....................

IMHO I wouldn't expect the thing to idle smooth as butter with that cam in there anyways. Even with a new chip blah blah blah

Mine lopes / surges / whatever. Still runs like a champ.

In fact I heard your car when it was at the shop, sounded REAL healthy.

I'm chipped!!!!!

She purrs like a kitten at idle and really opens up on the top end.

I saw the different tables and graphs that represent timing/maf/fuel.

I'm no expert on chip stuff. this is what I witnessed:

dude used C.A.T.S

Had one laptop datalogging. One laptop fed directly into where my memcal would go...that's right, a ribbon cable from laptop to where the chip should be. Dude was making changes on the fly.

We had about 5-7 hard passes up and down Sierra College blvd.
Two laptops in the car. After each run, dude would inspect rich/lein grapg vs. maf tables vs. fuel tables. Changes were made everywhere.

It was determined that I ran out of fuel pump on the top end.

I'm swapping to wally 255 in tank, then Dude will re-chip.

It was absolutely sheer expertise to watch this guy do his thing.
He had appointements while I was there...saw a new cts with a t56 and big *** motor get re-calibrated.

My car idles smooth at 900-950 rpm.

Was also told my 24# injectors are at there limit.

Who has a SR and heads for me?

sweet what a good beginning those multecs were a good part of it along with that rocker arm readjustment


david those are ford pink 22's not 24's

good luck on that fuel pump

that tuning on the fly ill be able to do within the next couple of weeks with my prominator whenever it friggin shows up

i used to have 24's they are bluetop . if yours are pink they are 22.

for yourself, i would get 26#
