    I search and found zilch........

    I have a '97 LSC with the JBL stock amplified system. I mentioned in a thread at the beginning of the year I was having issues with the stock system with no reply, so I just figured I'll pose my question on its own. I plan to dump the head unit and CD player in the trunk but, for now, run the...

    High outside temperature causes faint fuel odor, and reluctance to start.

    Old thread revival. I get gas smell and bubbling gas out of the filler neck. Purge solenoid? '97 LSC so it's under the back corner? Lost nearly a gallon of gas from this episode.

    Gushing out gas!

    It's hot here all the time. It was hot when I filled up and hot when I drove. The gas that was coming out was hot too.

    Gushing out gas!

    Put fresh gas in the tank yesterday. Drove a friend around town and used about 30 miles worth of gas. Parked the car in the driveway. Came back outside a few minutes later to get the mail and could smell gas. The closer I got to the car I could hear this gurgling sound. Went over to the...

    going to the dealer

    If you pull the fender liner forward and follow the hard brake line you can see the part. If the connector is not connected and is taped over, go back and tell them politely......... .......that they're a bunch of tools that won't go the extra step to take a look and discover the obvious. I...

    Big Red Custom Longtubes

    When I had my '93 base, I had a guy here in Vegas do a Cobra header fit for my car. He had to do some minor work to the driver side primaries to clear the steering shaft. He also fitted it with a Flaming River slip style steering knuckle. Coated the headers, deleted the 3rd cat, blocked the...

    Why .048 gap on plugs

    I figured it was because those running .048 had boost of some kind and did that so the spark wouldn't blow out. So would .050 also help with a high mileage engine?

    LTFT is weird......help!

    Just changed out the lower manifold gaskets and the IMRC to head gaskets. Cracked the throttle body mount gasket. Ordered a new one from Rockauto.com(Fel-Pro) since not one dang store here carries them in stock. What is the name of the oval shaped gaskets that go between the throttle body...

    Air ride struts question....

    I got the ball joint clunk in the front when I hit uneven surfaces. I checked them out with a dry park test and found the uppers bad. Replaced the upper control arms a couple months back. Still have the sound though. Lower ball joints looked fine. Radius arm bushings looked fine. Had my...

    LTFT is weird......help!

    102K. Is there a fix out there? I heard the seals are no longer available without buying the whole spacer with the IMRCs installed.

    LTFT is weird......help!

    My '97 LSC likes to stall once in awhile. Happened twice going down a hill - both times decelerating to parking lot speeds. Happened twice backing up - both times backing into my driveway. Doesn't stumble or shudder. Just turns off. Restarts fine. The instructor I have in my auto tech...

    Low fuel pressure = poor fuel mileage

    I put a 255 in my '93. Never heard it. Hmmm I checked my fuel pressure the other day after reading all this too. Before starting the car I tried to prime the pump. Took 3 attempts to get to 30+ psi. Started fine. Ran steady at 32 psi. Accelerated it and saw a spike to 44 and then...

    Accel Coils

    I have the Accels in mine too. Rough idle smoothed out. They claim to have a higher spark than stock, but that only applies if the computer sees the need for more spark. So the Accels just give the opportunity to throw more spark in to the mix. Everyday driving won't show much other than...
