V8 Beast Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 Finally got the car running close to the way its suppose to. I ended up with a bad spark plug, 2 bad spark plug wires, a maf that when cleaned turned the ground red with K&N oil, and 2 bad O2 sensors. All of which contributed to my car running like crap... All I have left now are some cosmetic mods, and a dyno tune to dial in my nitrous setup. The cars not ready for runs yet, but its definitely drivable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mongoose Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 I'm glad to hear those are all easy fixes, a buddy of mine was going through something similar with his Camaro. One of the wires going to his coil was torn, fixed that and the car was still sputtering/popping a lot under full throttle. It turned out he had a cracked spark plug and as soon as it was replaced the car ran fine. Anyways, it's always nice when it turn's out to be something minor, congrat's.

Boost-n-Juice Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 Good news bro! I still need a ride in that thing. My engine is getting pulled this weekend. I hate taking something apart that isn't broke, unless it's for something better. Let's just say there's a new BOSS in town and it aint my wife.

V8 Beast Posted July 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 Thanks! No more leaded gas mmmkay. Sorry Hal. You know our cars cant run at the same time. As soon as the rain clears and I can drive my car yours will probably stop. If both of our cars are running at the same time mankind will end.

I put it on the alignment rack today and saw that my entire suspension was out of alignment. I also found out, my rear toe is out and I have no room left to get it where it should be. If shit like this keeps piling on, I may be in the market for a new ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hal Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 You have to get an LSx. If you fix your car I'm doomed Lol, there are very few LSx cars I would consider. I'm just getting fed up with small things on the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V8 Beast Posted July 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Hal I know how you feel, but you could sell the coba and come out with a profit after buying an LS1. Then you could use the extra money to make a 500Hp car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
