You say that you replaced the MAF power and burn-off relays, and the tps. Did you correctly set the tps voltage at idle when installing it? Do you have the ability to read a wiring diagram and...

I put the ES reds in the rear of my 84. I have several thousand miles on them and no squeaks so far. Mine fit in snugly but not overly tight - slid in by hand with the lube supplied, so it does not...

I don't know if it happens a lot, but I thought I would mention this since it happened to me - My interior lights were working intermittently, and would work if I tapped on the module. What it turned...

Do you have the check engine light hooked up? Jumping terminals A and B of the ALDL will flash any codes on the check engine light, and there are codes for prom and ecm faults.

I'm thinking at this point that at least part of the problem may be that I had MrWillys burn me a prom to go with a cam that probably is not in the car. I ran the stock prom for a very short time,...

The maf burn-off happens at shut down, and the ecm has done the burn-off while the maf is hooked up. Thing is, the car has run this way with two brand new maf sensors (although of questionable...

The blue 24# injectors from FIC, installed a couple of weeks ago. The prom is programmed for them by Mrwillys, and the same symptoms were present with the old injectors as well (24# also).

Did some driving and recording today, nothing jumped out at me as obvious, but I will share what I saw.

The large book from GM you mentioned, is that the factory service manual for an 84 vette? If so, it will outline the procedures in good detail. You will need to fabricate a manometer (very simple,...

If they hook up the welder ground directly to the pipe they are welding, there should be no issues. Fried components happen when the ground is hooked to something else that does not have a good...

Next step is making sure you have no vacuum leaks, followed by checking the base timing, setting minimum air and balancing the throttle bodies, then resetting tps voltage, assuming the IAC's work.

I got the crossfire running really well, then tried a single throttle body setup, and then went to the tpi because I came across it cheap. Wouldn't I be seeing that I was in backup spark and fuel...

Continued odd maf issues

I started a new thread for this since it is sort of a different issue than before. I did a tpi swap on my 84, and I finally have it running really well - as long as the maf is unplugged, that is. The...
