I've never really cared for the whole social media thing. If someone from the past hasn't contacted me by now, they're not going to. Besides, most people I've reintroduced myself to after a number of years have shown in their response that I shouldn't have bothered. Facebook is a waste of time.

I'm finding that the one place I'm most socially comfortable and at ease is when I'm in the garage, just me, myself, and, I.

I just got done deleting as much info as I could find, and finally, I've deactivated my facebook account. During the process I changed the password to something random so I won't remember it, and now I hope to be done with that useless site for good. what a useless waste of time.

Andy,
Take a look back at your opening post, and at #49. Before you go and spend the $ on a set of coils, try your plug wires. Swap out the wires from the right side harness. and see what happens. For that matter, you may even have a bad connector inside the cap itself. Just an idea.

Good luck w/ each of your endeavors today. Yesterday I spent a few hours putting a new water pump on the wife's Suburban. Not too bad a job, but it managed to remove a bit of flesh from the big knuckle on my left thumb. Bled out far more than I expected it to.
Today I'm running the boy to a friends house, do lunch w/ my homies, then it's the final leaf job and putting the mower away w/ fresh oil.

IMO, and what I have is:

A good set of micrometers (check Craig's list).

A dial bore gauge (kinda of optional but I check any machine work that I have done.) You can get a Fowler (made in England) for about $200.


You probably have the rest of the stuff.


I normally keep quiet because you guys are usually way ahead of me on most things. But I cannot keep quiet regarding Fowler measuring tools. In 25 years of machine trade experience, I've never used a reliable piece of equipment from Fowler. Every time they let me down. Get on CraigsList or Ebay and find one by Mitutoyo, Brown&Sharp, Starret, Etc... I wouldn't trust Fowler rulers to repeat.
Say what you want, but that's my .02.

I hate to say it, but today's the day I put the Vette into winter hibernation. I found a nice warm garage for $35/month, and since the insurance is due, I guess it's time. Oh well, I think it's gonna let me put the Chevelle into the garage so I can finish the trunk install, and maybe do the floors on it. Off I go..........

I don't often post on the daily threads, but I do kind of gloss over them to somewhat keep up. You guys that are going thru cancer related health issues, I'll be thinking of you. I thought I was gonna bitch about the fact that my work schedule has my weekend only 9 days away. But now I'm reminded of a sayong that helps keep everything in perspective. "Thank God for the problems you have, and praise God for the ones you don't."
For all of you, may god's blessings be upon you.

I finally got to drive it to work today. It ran great! When I started and backed out it didn't even think of stalling much less a single sputter. I drove thru the area where it always dies, this time it ran great! So the outcome is ..............(drum roll)
So far, so good.

Looking forward to seeing this resolved....many others have the same issue you describe.


I got the car back yesterday, but had to go to work. I want to let it start from cold to see if they helped. What they did say is my refrigerant was low causing my compressor to cycle too often. Also my idle was too low. I told him about the minimum idle procedure I did. he said I had it right, but the reality is that setting it at 450rpm is too low. he didn't specify what would be adequate, but 450's too low.
One good thing I got is a written 2-year/24,000 mile warranty on the repair. They don't do that at a dealer!

It sounds to me like there's only so much can be done without altering the programming, so increasing the minimum idle is the regular guy's way to fix the problem. Also, I had a feeling I might be low on refrigerant, but it's been so burned-danged hot lately I'd hafta drive for an hour at night to get the system cool enough to know for sure. I won't be driving it today. Working 7 this week and I'm beat-dead tired. The A/C unit on my side of the bldg is out and we've been running the CNC stuff in 88* temps.(indoor) I'd call in and blow today off, but there's a special place in the unemployment line for those that do that too much, so I just don't do it at all.

I'll try to get some seat time in and let you guys know how it's doing.

I think you should get a good scan and see what the IAC step counts are at when it's stalling or acting up.

Matthew


That's where I took it Thursday. We'll see what they find. Btw, I took the "air foil" off. When i put the new IAC on, I took a good hard look at the Airfoil. It did have a hole for the IAC to breathe, but I got out my die grinder and opened it up to look like a "Y", instead of the mousehole they had. Also, I ground down the sides of the fastener that goes inside and ground along the back of the airfoil, all to open up any possible restrictions. But even with that done, I still think the drivability was improved a little more by removing it. One more thing, I'm wondering about my a/c compressor. When I put it on last year, it was new and I wasn't able to turn it by hand one bit. I'm wondering if the compressor is still so tight that the engine has difficulty overcoming the drag when the clutch engages. Oh well, it's late. I'll be back to let you guys know what we find out.

I've got one of those super duper things you put into your throttle body to smooth out the incoming air.

Is it possible that could be restricting air from the IAC and causing some of these problems"?


Bob, I reread this thread, and this point jumped out at me. I recall a problem some guys had with aftermarket throttle bodies and the IAC bleed hole not being there. I seem to remember some air foils covering the stock IAC bleed hole, too, causing problems. GM designed the TB to have a small amount of air coming into the intake past the IAC.

Do you have an aftermarket TB? Does your airfoil cover the IAC hole?

Look at these links for examples:

http://members.cox.net/chipsbyal/page/idle/index.html#stocktbi

http://members.cox.net/chipsbyal/page/idle/tbi.htm


Good catch Matt, but I'm still running the OEM throttle body, and I've made certain It not only has the proper gaskets on the Superram, but I made an aluminum plate w/ gaskets on either side to make sure the idle air passages were properly open AND properly sealed as the SuperRam may have caused some issues for uncovered porting on the backside of the throttlebody.


And to josephf31,
I've been thinking of doing just that.

Made by Dixson, looks like they are not in business anymore.

This is a plain, vanilla, plastic timing light.

I bought a good one with the adjustable advance knob so, this has been laying in a cabinet in the shop for many years.

The plug connector is the open spring design.
It is what it is.


It sure is as good thing you put that pic up... I've still got a craftsman that has the same hookup. I'm looking to eiother fix the inductive one I have or get another inductive unit locally. Thanks anyway Bill.

Then remove the vacuum line to the FPR and it should return to 41-47.


Done and it's there.

So far this week I've now been boiled in my own sweat and all I've accomplished is to have cooked the plug wire clamp on my timing light. I'd buy a new one, but Sears parts people don't know what a timing light is, so they hang up on me. The only number on the light is, "Not a Sears number."

Well, I finally made an appt. at the dealership for next Monday. Of course, once they see the SR I'm pretty sure they'll just stop what they're doing and say the SR IS the problem.

I tried calling the only other shop I knew of, but their number is disconnected. I guess he retired.

The FF that's on it just might be a FRAM. It's only a couple years old, meaning less than a 1000-1500 miles.
It bears looking into, but lets all remember, like I stated at the start, the cars' behavior has been like this since the '90's. I'm just now getting to where I'm sick of the problems it creates.

Thanks for the video! Using that method, I was able to determine that 2 of my injectors checked at 17 ohms, 4 at 18, and I was unable to get to the other two because of the SuperRam. Is there a way I can check the other two thru the connector?

I think I replaced the oxy sensor with the header install a couple years ago. It came from NAPA, a trusted source around here. The injectors are the OEM units, but were cleaned individually when out for my 1st manifold swap several years ago when I put on the Accell base. I religiously use STABIL in my gas to keep it from gumming up, but I suppose I'm gonna hafta take the SR apart and have them cleaned again.

I guess I'll start loking for a possible vacuum leak. Talk about a "target rich environment".

Bill, Im not sure where to take it around here. There's one small shop across town, but I don't care for the neighborhood they leave the cars out in everynight. The dealers won't even look at something that's been modified. If they do, they immediately label the mod as "the problem" and send it home.

The timing is now 6* BTC.

I set it to 6* after I got home from work. It was on 4*.(???)
I waited to see if things were any better the way it was. Drivability is definatly better. It still stalled when 1st backed down the driveway. There's one place I can usually expect it to die in traffic on my way to work, and it did.
When I get off the highway and turn into traffic (whether or not I hafta stop for the light) I then accelerate, and shift. If the next light turns and I hafta stop, it dies.

Another note, after setting the timing tonight, I revved it and held steady at 1600. With a steady foot on the pedal, the engine speed alternated from 1600-1700RPM every several seconds. I also tried holding a steady pedal at 2200 RPM and it not only did the same thing from 2200-2300+, but I could feel the pedal seemingly "fall out" from under my foot, then come back as the engine speed fluctuated.
Could there be something goofy causing the EGR valve to cycle, letting in too much "air"?

Hopefully you solved the problem, though. Keep us posted.

Thanks for the procedure Matt. I already printed it off. It's close to the one I used, but I hooked my voltmeter to the Red and Black wires of the TPS, not Black and Blue.

I didn't thnk to check my timing. If I remember right, I set it at 10* BTC, but it's been a while, so I really can't say for sure.

I didn't do no.11 exactly, but I did let it run a good while.

Today when I went to start it, it started fine, but then as I was backing down the driveway I let off the gas and it died. It started right back up, but that's the only hitch I've seen so far. I do have a feeling the driveability is better, but that's subjective.

I'll be back after more driving.

Another update!!!!!!!!!

I went online looking for the procedure for the IAC/tps/min idle speed reset, and got pretty close. But after the 2nd or 3rd time of it not quite getting there, I happened to finally find it in my FSM. It added a couple of key pieces of info. 1st, it told me when to remove the ground between the A/B connectors on the ALDL. 2nd, and most importantly, it told me to unplug the inline connector for the ESC module, and when to do it! So now it's 5am Saturday morning and I'm due to be up at 8:30, so I hafta hit the hay. I'll let you guys know if things are better for sure, or if I hafta dig in and start looking for vacuum leaks.

I was able to secure a new Borg-Warner TPS and swap it over.
I know, I was trying to avoid just replacing parts, but I thought it was worth what I paid. During the swap I foound out why my TPS reading only went up to 3.25, it's because the hose clamp for the air intake bellows was blocking the throttle from opening all the way.
Now the closed position reading is back at .56 and at WOT it goes up to 4.54. Better, but not the 5.0 as the FSM sez it should be. I started the car up and now it seems better, but still wants to die if I goose the gas, especially with the AC on. While sitting in the garage, I ran the RPM up to aboout 2500 and I noticed that even as I held the pedal still, the RPM would try to "hunt" between 2400-2500 and sometimeds a bit more or less.
What do you guys think?

THanks for the help guys....

When I put the new IAC on I took the throttle body off and went thru and cleaned it then. that's when I reduced the size of that fastener that holds onto the air thing in my tb. When I put it back together I thought I followed the procedure to reset it, but I coulda plucked that up. How do you guys do it, I'll try it again.

Have I done the IAC/tps/min idle speed reset? I'm not sure what that is. I know I sound like a newb here, but I'm afraid I'm one of the old schoolers that needs to catchup.

I know the TPS sweet spot is .54-.56, I just was wondering. No biggee, I'll put it back. I did notice, that my fsm says the TPS reading shoud be around 5.0 when wide open. Mine only goes up to 3.2-3.6 . Obviously, that's low, could that be part of the problem?

Vacuum leaks? Thats certainly possible with a Superram, but this did NOT get worse when I put it on. If I disconnect and isolate the engine from the external vacuum can, etc., will that make it run worse or can I use that as a way to determinie that there's a leak in the evap system?

Now to check out HCF.......

I've got a thread going on the tech forum, and it got me wondering if there's a good, readily available diagnostic tool for my '88. I'll never be accused of brilliance, so the more it can tell me, the better. Is such a thing even available?
Got a link?
Thanks guys.

Hunting Idle, stalling

For a number of years, my car has had a hunting idle w/ stalling as part of its personality, but I can't deal with it any more.
This started BEFORE any mods were made.
When cold, I'll back out of the driveway and it'll die when I take my foot off the gas. hot or cold, but not with any pattern it'll die when I come to a light or other stop. When getting off the highway and stopping at the exit, it might die. Sometimes, instead of stalling, it'll just drop into the 300's range and then work it's way back to the hunting 700-900+ idle range. So here's what I've done so far;

Last year I put on a new IAC. It seemed to help, but not for long.

Tonight I checked my TPS and it was at .55 volts. I reset it to .61. I didn't think it would do much, but it's free and worth a try.

I've got one of those super duper things you put into your throttle body to smooth out the incoming air. Last year I took the fastener for it out and smoothed it way down in case it was restricting air into the IAC passages. Is it possible that could be restricting air from the IAC and causing some of these problems"?

It's been a while, but the last time I checked my fuel pressure, it was around 43-44 lbs.

I "think" I read somewhere that for some cars, removing the MAF screens can cause these types of problems. A few weeks ago, I put my incoming screen back onto my MAF. Nope.

Thanks for reading, if you can offer some help, I'd appreciate it.

It looks a little hammy, but I'd go see it. I sneek in a couple of beers, too.

This is a strange story but it's from me so it has to be true. I was working the midnight shift with a couple of other guys working near me. As boredom makes for strange conversations I asked one of the guys if he'd suck a dick for a million dollars. A movie was out at that time that was basicly saying most women are whores and some have a higher price than others. What's the difference if you bang a guy for $20 or a million dollars? You're still a whore. The first guy said; "I don't think so". The second guy, a known playa that was hitting stuff around town and paying the chicks light bill for pussy said; " I'd suck a dick on national telivision for a million dollars. Hell yeh. You only suck a dick for a couple of minutes. You can spend a million dollars over a long period of time. So there you have it. Another tale from the archives of adventure.

Me? I said no way but if I had I'd probably be a millionaire by now.


The way I look at it, if some guy takes a gun and shoots people, he'll go to jail and serve his time. But if he sucks one dick, he's a cocksucker for life. I don't make the rules, but that how it seems to work.

I'm only bowing out as it's my tendency to get WWAAYY too invested in these types of discussions. Besides, I'm not real good at controversial arguments and usually think I've won when I get frustrated and shout, "Oh yeah? Well F__k You!!!". The resulting mood for me here at the house gets a little ugly after that as well. You guys argue, I'll read.

Sodomy is a definition of an act. According to dictionary.com (not best source, but nonetheless a source) it is defined as:

sod·om·y
  –noun
1.anal or oral copulation with a member of the opposite sex.
2.copulation with a member of the same sex.
3.bestiality ( def. 4 ) .

Hence, any sex, oral or anal, between a man OR woman is sodomy.

The word buggery defines anal copulation, between a man and a woman or a man and a man.

So to answer your question, yes, in my opinion, anal intercourse is sodomy.

However, I differ in opinion that anal sex leads to child abuse, etc. I think that's a different topic altogether.

No need to bow out of this melee, that's the point of a PR&C thread!

Ok, I'll quit now. I only wrote that one to rattle cages.
I'm going to bow out of this as it's clear that my views are obviously not shared, so rather than create or prolong a negative aspect to a thread, I'm out. Once again, I need to agree to disagree.

Completely different topic that doesn't have a place in this thread, imho.

Without debating the qualifications necessary for something to be considered "normal", I will say that sex in the butthole is called "sodomy" for a reason. Stop and think about the roots behind that label.

A LOT of guys like doing that to women too. I personally don't get it, how it's enjoyable...for anyone, but then again it doesn't matter if I get it or not. If it makes someone else happy, go for it.


Like DB, said, that is on both sides. And if that ain't normal, than no type of sexual activity outside of procreation is normal.

I for one am not so sure the plane is a total write off. While they might do just that, I saw the P38 lightning that was found in a glacier as a crushed, somewhat two dimensional remnant. When I saw it in '03, it had been flown to the general aviation section of Dayton Int'l Airport for the Dayton Air Show. The next week, it flew back home to Kentucky. So if that plane could be restored, I'd bet the B-17 could be as well. I didn't see any videos of it and not too many pics, but, fwiw, that's my .02.
