Interesting.

Nope. Both would need the ability to roll in that scenario.

Please don't compare anything I own - for now - to anything ever owned by him. Thanks. You never know, maybe I'll own it again some day.

When I pulled out of Dan's neighborhood, went 1.nothing miles and was passing your house, "Pataskala Whore" popped in my head. I had to do a lot of soul searching late last night, but in the end, I can tinker with the fox, take some family in it, yadda, yadda.

Trade Pending.

Oooohhhh, yeah.

I just got 18 tons last year for less than your quote. $240 I want to say. What part of town are you on?

It was November. I think the TPS cured the revving. It's keeping it running that is the real issue now. I might head out and take a video later.

Yes. No holes. Here's the history as I know. - I heard the car idle for 2-3 minutes in Sam's garage late last year. Never revved it. No WOT, no dieing. - Car went to IPS for a few months. I have no idea what they looked at, pulled apart, tested, if anything. - Car brought to me. - Car goes WOT while idling from attached garage to detached garage. Assumed a fluke. - I replace harmonic balancer, pull plugs for compression test, put back together - Car idles long enough to refill antifreeze, 7-8 minutes? Car revs poorly. - Pull car into driveway, runs 3-4 minutes, WOT by itself again. - Cleaned IAC. Not much change if any. - Replaced TPS. Set to .98v. - Car starts and revs MUCH better, but now won't hold an idle after a minute or two. Vacuum showing ~15-18. I have not had time to follow that relearning procedure yet. At this point, I believe setting the idle screw and a relearning will do wonders. It's also sitting with old gas, and the thing has been cranked and started a shit ton now without being driven. A couple miles might help things too.? I am going back to carbs.

I do not know. No.

Ya never know. Shoot me some info / pics. nurkvinny@yahoo.com http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=90051&page=2 Thanks, I'll check those things out. I thought about pulling the upper off because it would make it sooo much easier to look on rear of motor for vacuum leaks (and intake gasket leaks). Dynotune Motorsports, I think.

New TPS installed Sunday. Things are 75% better. No idle surges. Was able to goose the pedal right after starting it and it responded tons better. Still some hesitation now though after it ran for a minute or so and had to feather throttle to keep running. Found the TPS relearn steps, but haven't had time to do them. Clear the computer's idle memory by disconnecting the battery for 20+ minutes. -Disconnect the Idle Air Bypass solenoid -Reconnect battery -Start engine and set idle speed to desired RPM with idle screw on throttle body -Turn off engine and reconnect the air bypass solenoid -Set TPS voltage between 0.90 - 0.95 volts with a digital volt meter -Start engine and let it idle for 2 minutes with no accessories on. -Turn off engine for two minutes -Start engine again and run for 2 minutes with every accessory turned on. -Turn engine off again. And found this: 10 Pin Connector modification: 1. Take the 10 pin connectors apart (salt and pepper shakers). 2. use a pick like tool to spread the male terminals open more so they make better contact. In the center of each male terminal there is a small seam and seams down the sides of the terminal which allows you to spread them open. 3. Apply some dielectric grease to the terminals 4. Plug the connectors back in.

A lot of us had great sounding (and some just flat-out hitting) systems using the car's original alternator and battery and using no caps. Hell I ran 4 isobaric Pioneer 12's with only what GM put in an 87 Z24. With an amp obviously. No issues. I think people get carried away with what is really needed to make good sound.

No offense taken, dude. I haven't gotten what I wanted, so I am sitting on it. That was kind of my point. In the end, I will get "my price" or "my trade" conditions or it won't leave the garage.

... practice ...

If you can get a casting number, post it up. Thanks.

Clay, any other life issue you'd like us to solve?

Any clue what it is off of? These can go from $5 to $250 depending on what it is.

500 * 49 weeks (assuming 3 weeks vacation) 24,500 miles. $11,882.50 paid to you, at current gas prices, you get $8,164 after gas is paid for, at $3.49 a gallon. That extra cash buys a lot of wear and tear and tires. I would be getting a 35ish mpg car and pocketing a lot of that dough. Plus, added bonus of not wasting an hour a week picking up and dropping off rental.

Couldn't tell if that was a fake or not half way through. Strange. http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/13150557

Three fails, One Gif.

Maybe loan out a BMW with a nice Kenny sticky over the 3rd brake light?

Yeah, I know the deal with mods. But if I can't get 25-35% of the price of mods back, I'll keep the thing or trade for something else with a lot of "mod money". I've played the game too many years to lose money.

I am now asking $10,000 for the car. Just kidding.

I think it was something like 80x27. But there's only a stairwell and metal beam supports down there, so it feels HUGE.
