Re: Volusia County Florida!
Neither autozone nor advance could test the maf. I put a voltmeter on it like 2 weeks ago and was getting 13volts to the maf itself. I dont know whats going on with it. Makes me think its not a relay since its getting power and the wire is nice and clean so the burnoff is working....

Re: Volusia County Florida!
Yea Ive searched on here and found a few things I can do to test it. Ill do those and if I dont get good results Ill replace both relays and go from there.

Re: Volusia County Florida!
The MAF is clean because you have an air filter. The new cars don't have it. It was an early GM FI thing. Replace one of those relays and then swap it. If you still have the problem, I would replace the MAF. Bend over for that. Then, get that 89 PROM, get rid of the 9th injector, and then let's set the timing and all the other stuff.
Who knows. I am a wimp about breaking stuff, but who knows if I won't run a pass or 2....

Re: Volusia County Florida!
sorry to hear you still having probs joe. especially with that low mileage beast of yours.
i am going to be looking to swap the 305 out for a 350 with in the next year or so. i got to take it easy on the 305 for now. developed nice low side knock on start up. got my injection system cleaned and power steering flushed out complete coolant system flush. all for free. did it at work. new job has been beneficial to my car. free oil change for me too. and i am going to buy new ac comp since clutch is going.
later mikey

Re: Volusia County Florida!
Its all good Mikey. Ive made good progress this week especially with the new ECM. But once the MAF is done I should be all clear and Mike will help reset all my stuff and get the car running prestine. Where you working at Mikey?

Re: Volusia County Florida!
I replaced both MAF relays yesterday and cleared the codes and have been code free since. Ive driven the car about 5 times and the light has stayed off and the scanner has found nothing. Im getting the correct amount of gr?sec of air in the MAF. So Mike whenever is a good time for you to tune up let me know.

Re: Volusia County Florida!
Track Sunday anyone? I'm going to go with the 4th Gen. Hopefully the prep is decent and I can get the car to leave in first gear rather than doing a burnout.

Re: Volusia County Florida!
Tomorrow is just going to be a few shakedown runs to see where I'm at. Then I plan on waiting a few months for the weather to cool off. I had originally planned to wait for the fall, but I'm like a kid with a new toy right now.

Re: Volusia County Florida!
Well, you guys missed out on 145* temps in the staging lanes yesterday. Holy crap it was hot! I have a really bad sunburn to boot! The track wasn't crap, but could have been better. I hooked decent rolling into it, but found myself looking at the wall on the 1-2 shift... around the 330' marker. I made two runs, parked it, changed into shorts and watched from the bleachers until about 2pm.

Re: Volusia County Florida!
Well it's not 2 weeks advanced notice, but I will be hitting the track next Wed. the 18th. There's a certain 99' slowbra in Deltona w/ a Paxton that needs to get pimp smacked.

Re: Volusia County Florida!
It looks like the track is getting rained out, it's f'in pouring here in Deland right now. No sign of it letting up either.
It looks like I'll have to reschedule another day to skin a snake.
Are any of you guys interested in going? We might go this Friday, it's looking like it's only a 10% chance vs. 50% today.

Destination Daytona Saturday? I know Mike wasn't 100% about going yet. Anyone else?
Here's a link to the thread on tech: http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/showth...=923458&page=3
I'll be there as long as the weather looks decent. Most likely I'll leave this area and head that way around 3pm.

Hey everyone....I think only kwiksilverZ28 knows who I am, but I live across town from him, in Deltona. Trying to get my car back in 1 piece so that maybe I can start making it out to some meets again. If anyone knows of a good driver's side fender for an 82-84 T/A, please do contact me. Having no luck at the salvage yards.

nice to see another face in the area. i usually go out to lkq and see that stuff. i havent been out there in awhile. last time i was out there though there was very few thirds and i have only ever seen one t/a out there. the junkyard in deland off garfield had a gta with fenders still on it when i went but that was over a month ago. we need to set up another tgo meet on a sunday of course since that is my only day off. 54hours a week now. i am going tomorrow to look at another t/a good luck to me! talk to you guys later.
