idoes antone know whare i can get my car tested you know all the sensors and timing and tuned with a computer i live in the catskill area and noone around here knows how to do it i need someone that knows TPI cars i am willing to travel 1 hour or more if i have to please help.

 

hey, i live about 20 min away from u, lol. your the first person i've seen on the board that lives in my area. well i recently brought my car in to be serviced. i brought it to a place called Al's Auto in wappingers falls. they fixed my timing and i'd assume that they can also check all of the sensors. hope this helps.

 

hey thats cool where do you live im in Cairo im from poughkeepsie though i just moved up here a year ago i used to live in wappingers when i was a kid.whaer in wappingers is al's auto service?

 

well, do u know where myers corners road is? well at the big intersection on rt 9 if u were coming from poughkeepsie, u'd take a right at that intersection, and it's maybe 20 ft up on the left. sorry i know i dont give very clear directions

 

yeah i know whare myers corners is so if i came from rt.9 and took the left coming from pok it would be on the right hand side ? do you have his phone # i want to ask him some ?s i know alot of mechanics in poughkeepsie and wappingers but noone that knows tpi real well.

 

ok, u come from poughkeepsie on rt 9 and when u get to the intersection where u'd turn left to go onto myers is, u don't turn left onto myers, instead u turn right, and go up the hill and the mechanics is on the left, u can't really miss it. his number is 845-298-9178, they did a good job diagnosing my car, although it's tbi.

 

o ok its on the other side up the hill i know whare it is now. what kinda car do you have dude?

 

i have an 89 camaro RS, with a 305 and a 700-r4. it's pretty much stock except for the flowmasters exhaust i have on it. as soon as i get some money, i'm swapping over to TPI and getting a good set of headers.

 

thats cool my first third gen was a tbi formula 305 700r4 that was a nice car t-tops blue man that car handled good. why do you want to switch to tpi? they make a 300 hp tbi motor that kicks but you should look into that.they actually have some performance stuff for the tbi now years ago there was nothing.

 

yea i was thinking about doing those ultimate tbi mods, but i'm still undecided on what i'm gonna do. i guess i'll have to do some more research. what i'm really looking for is good off the line performance, i don't really care about high end too much.

 

if thats all you want look into some 3:73 gears that should help out alot and theirs this item i cant remember what its called but it does something like raise up the tbi injector or something it suposed to give it some good power o and dont forget the shift kit.

 

r u talking about a tbi spacer? i heard they help the tbi breath alot better. and of course i'd get a new cam and get the peanut cam outta there.

 

yeah i thikn it is a spacer ? well anyway thanks for the number man i gotta get off of here and let the woman use the phone but i will talk to you have a good night. leave a messege im gonna be back on later tonight.

 

lol, aright well i'm prolly not gonna be on for the rest of the night (got school in the morning) so take it easy.

PS: maybe we could get together sometime, i'm trying to get a local 3rd gen club going, and so far all i have is my friend witha 89 rs.

 

thats cool their should be a few third geners in dutchess county i know i have seen alot of irocs and trans ams as matter of fact my friend has a 86 trans am and i have the gta so we got 4 members allready.its cool to see a young guy diving an american sports car and not a honda lol anyway evryone allways hangs out at dunkin donnuts down their we have to meet their sometime.

o aright that sounds cool. let me know what happens with al's auto.

 

yeah i have to do a compression test on mine its not as fast as it should be so maybe al can do it i will let you know when i get the money.

 

mechanic? man you should always try to work on your car yourself unless your a trusting mother****er (not only that you save $ in the long run). Get some books to get you started, plus theres TONS of knowledgable people right here on the board that can help you out with mostly anything you need, need I mention technical articles? good luck man

 

i do alot of the work on my car but i dont have a computer to check the sensors out so i need someone who can do it.

 

a computer to check sensors? lmao.. all you need is a paper clip to get the codes from the ecm......

 

o *** its you again listen you idiot i need to check the readings from the sensors like the knock sensor not the engine codes.i want to know if my knock sensor is retading my timing at WOT. its to bad people like you are on this site really.

 

get a room u 2

 

goto walmart and get one of those cheap VOM's

 

whats a vom meter you mean a volt meter?

 

yeah, to be exact volt ohm meter, you'll need it because it does just that... measures volts and ohms (resistance)

 

well i allready have one just tell me how to check my sensors what they should be reading how will i know? and how do i check them? thanks sorry not to good with car electornics

 

Hooking a VOM to your sensors while running will tell you exactly JACK

. Just save your pennies and get a cheap Laptop from E bay, they can be had for less than $50 and make a cheap 2 trans cable ($8 in parts from ratshack) This way you'll be able to do it anytime you want and will learn a great deal about the inner workings of your ECM/engine combo.
