thanks again for the info everyone..

im having to decide due to funds being limited which one am i gonna get the most HP out of my car... either a 2.5 exhaust from the stock DP, high flow cat, and no muff back. I know 3" is preferred but thats all i can afford right now and my car could use a new exhaust anyways. or install a FMIC...

ok, thanks for all the info guys i appreciate it

I ordered from paintscratch the color of my car in two spray cans, theres an autozone up the street, what all do i need to get rid of the spot and paint over and look good. Im mot expecting a professional...

high,

did you check for a leaky injector ? you really need to get a fuel gauge so you can see if its bleeding off press.
if you have a harbor freight tools nearby there really cheap. i think like 20 bucks. Id bet you have a injector leaking causing a rich condition..

high, theres a few things to check, check your fuel press. and make sure its up to par and it holds. With the vac line plugged and removed from the fpr it should be like 40psi. After you shut the car off make sure it holds press. if not then it could be a leaky fuel injector or check valve in the ta...

boom, thats a blown head gasket, i had to replace mine on my TC 2.3 turbo, it seems they always blow cyl's right next to each other. My no. 1&2 had 30 psi each and the others were like 150. I put a new HG on and she ran like a new one. I did mine in a few hours in front of my house and had it ru...

I was at home depot a couple days ago and the guy working there came out and was asking me about my merk and was in love with it. We talked cars for a bit, then some young kid that worked there had just ordered a new camaro says nice car but im a chevy guy, i said, hey " only little boys wear b...

well... i took the TFI to autozone and they tested it and it showed to be bad so i went ahead and put on a new one and the car has been starting back up fine after running it for a few days. I think that took care of that problem. I think it was the orig. TFI ( 140k miles on it ) Im planning on taki...

i checked the fuel press. yesterday and at idle its about 32 and rises when i give it throttle so i dont think fuel is the issue. It does bleed off but slowly. the lowest it got was down to 20. a few days ago i was letting it sit there and idle and it was hot enough for the fan to kick on then the c...

yeah mike, ive been so busy i havent had a chance to put it on to check it. Im gonna check it out this morning and let you guys know what i find.

well... it runs so rich it acts like its running on two cyls..

after my car has been sitting for example all night, i start in the morning and it smells like its running very rich. If i let it idle that way for a few minutes then it smooths out and runs and drives great.

any ideas ??

good to hear AL
