  1. I'm in. Got a friend that lives out in Huber. Sent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk
  2. found a set of 799 heads from a 2005 Trailblazer with a L33 5.3 shouldn't be more than about $150 for the set, intake ports on one and three had standing water, oil inside the valve cover looked tar. For the price would they be worth getting if the chambers look good? Machine work will be needed before they go on my LM7 so... it's fine if they need a little work.
  3. Just figured I'd let post saying I got it fixed. Took the throttle body off, checked the TPS, cleaned the whole throttle body and IAC (which had a lot of soot in it) also found my battery cables had gotten really loose... But it's idling fine now and has not had any problems all week
  4. if it was fuel related wouldn't the STFT go way up and injector pulse width increase trying to compensate for a lack of pressure? Again thoug, not ruling that out so I will look into it as well. I do, but I forgot to save the log from yesterday morning when it wouldn't run. if it does it again I will be sure to log it and actually save it.
  5. It's running stock injector timing(from a 2004 Silverado) and stock MAF tables on a stock engine save for headers. Like I said this is just something that happened over the last week or so. It has apparently started doing it while hot now as well, died three times in Etna earlier. I wish it would at least surge when it does it, like if the maf was unplugged or something, but it just idles down and dies, doesn't even try to bring up the idle... I have not had time to really tear anything apart and look into the issue further, hopefully I have time tomorrow.
  6. I have not, I'm not ruling anything out. But I just replaced it fall 2014. I will look into it though
  7. Been having an issue the last week or two that is not consistent in when it happens.. Sometimes the engine in my truck won't idle cold, only happens at start up, runs fine with just enough throttle to maintain an idle speed, even at 500rpm. but if I let off the throttle it will idle down and just stall, but start right back up. runs perfectly fine once the ECT hits about 190-200F. at first I thought it was the IAC going out, but I hooked it up to HPT and commanded 128 on the IAC steps and got it to idle around 700rpm commanding a higher idle speed did nothing. When it's doing this the fuel trims are going around -2 or -3 at start up but holding the throttle they stay around 0 to +3 This is something that just started, though it did happen ONCE when I tried to flash a RTT mod, but went away when I went back to a stock OS. I've been running the same tune for a few months, only big change I've made is 14* timing at idle but that was a good 3 months ago, and a returnless fuel rail and "628" injectors back in february I'm really at a loss, not seeing ANYTHING weird pop up in the scanner. HPT and Torque pro. No DTC or pending.
  8. I'll be at cc&c since I have not been out in a bit. Tomorrow looks like weather is gonna be real nice.
  9. Have kind of been neglecting the hoopty due to increased rent and being broke..... February I did switch over to 974 25lb injectors, returnless rail and Corvette filter, was still having "cold" start issues having to let the pump fully prime before it would fire.. Last week truck died on 270 on my way home from work, thought it was the fuel pump relay or the fuel pump.... after pulling the pump out of the tank... http://67.media.tumblr.com/ffba4bd562e369064e91b2716b0d34d0/tumblr_o97hjjkuBs1suerqbo4_1280.jpg http://67.media.tumblr.com/166911400d29f64de8207f51adaf8087/tumblr_o97hjjkuBs1suerqbo1_1280.jpghttp://67.media.tumblr.com/c51c57ee38e105f8aa83ee05cb7a4273/tumblr_o97hjjkuBs1suerqbo2_1280.jpg http://66.media.tumblr.com/eee85648374608239c8378ff2a58633d/tumblr_o97hjjkuBs1suerqbo3_1280.jpg (melted the female plug and burnt the male plug, also melted the shrinkwrap and looks like it started to melt the solder on the wires.) There was plenty of warnings online and even a warning card in the box when I bought the pump that the stock wiring may night be able to handle the 15 amp draw of the pump.. So this is 100% my fault, went ahead and ordered a "upgraded" bulkhead and harness from Racetronix and it should be here today. I didn't check the current draw of the pump with pressure in the lines, but I checked it in a cup of fuel hooked up to a motorcycle battery and it pulled 6.67 amps, so I'm hoping the pump is OK and shorting out didn't burn it up. And the hose clamps on the pump/sending unit seemed a little loose when I pulled it out, maybe the cold start issue was just a leak at the little hose inside the tank, not letting the lines hold any pressure.
  10. in lens AF...using a 5000 series? If you were willing to use a manual lens... Vivitar Series 1 70-210 F3.5 is a great lens for it's age. the first 5 versions are great and can be picked up for like less than $30 on ebay.. Only down side is if you don't have an internal focus motor, you probably won't have metering with a non-CPU lens. pretty much all I shoot with on my D5300
  11. How is the viewing angle and color reproduction? Bought an LED Acer when my HP monitor died based on internet reviews and it's terrible for everything..
  12. You can use my hoopty if only I had all the body work done.
  13. I can do it, but it will cost $99 which is the price of HPtuner credits.
  14. Yeah I did the same thing with 706 heads last summer. A cordless drill and a $35 drill bit and about an hour and I had the extractor and 4 broken bolts out... Even did it with the heads still on the engine. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
  15. I second this, not sure if srs.
  16. Probably be there if my girlfriend doesn't sleep past the alarm again lol... Plus my friend with the rsx type s will be out as well
  17. Just extract them.... It's time consuming.. But it can be done with a good carbide bit...which are about $20-30 each
  18. Can't really find much on tuning the old zetec foci... only thing I've found is sct tuner...thing. Hptuners just replied with "not a supported vehicle" after I emailed support with the appropriate files when I got a "validate checksum error" So is sct the only option for the old focus???? I don't need a synonym tune on it, just turn the CEL off and adjust for the cai, long tube and other little mods. To make it a little more....fun to drive.

    lol damn... But yeah I mean, it is only $50 a year.... go ahead and pay for it and if you see it on sale somewhere, just pick up an extra card or two
  20. They wouldn't touch my S10.... told me ALL they could do was a stock style Y-pipe with a single Cat. to a 1 in 2 out flowmaster. 0/10 would not suggest for custom work.
  21. Imma be there.... but We're taking my Girlfriends Ricer Focus.... Nick, I'll make sure she parks the hoopty next to your nice ass fiesta...lol
  22. Traffic on 315, 670 and king aren't bad yet... Troopers were setting up to block of king though.
  23. I'm looking at one of these...or something similar. http://www.microcenter.com/product/459137/Aspire_ES1-512-C1PW_156_Laptop_Computer_-_Diamond_Black IMO don't get something old.. I mean yeah the serial port is important for some things.... but does your stuff require a serial port or is it USB? +1 on the SSD not only is it shock proof, it will also speed the computer up a lot.
