3800 Got my car running

[Ron Vogel]

It fired right up, chugged like crazy...

I played with the wires, everything was up to snuff. I found a decent sized vac leak at the pcv, I sealed that up. I took a look at the tune I put on it, and it's all messed up. So looks like I'll have to get a new pcm for it. It idles like it's cammed! It's times like this I miss my powertuner...

Congrats, you parting with it still, or are you gonna keep it?

Ron if you need a PT let me know, We can meet up and flash a stockish file on the car.

Im moving this to 3800 section.

 

[Ron Vogel]

Yeah, I'll shoot you a call tomorrow. I start a new job tomorrow, but not until 2pm. Maybe I can meet up after work. I made a new file already for the car.

Or if you want Ron, you can come down to my work. It's south on 53 just before 88. It took myself and Mike 15 minutes to get to your house. I'm there from 2 to 10:30 if you want to stop by.

Well, I'm not sure now if I'm driving tomorrow, but we'll see. One of my injector o-rings is leaking bad, and I thought it was the pcv, but it's the injector. The stock injectors I got had a few of the discs gone on the bottom. I think this injector must have dropped the o-ring into the head. It won't hurt anything, but if I can't get it fixed by the time I have to leave I may just wait to drive it. I'll probably double up the o-rings on that injector.

i have a few stock injectors with the discs still in tact if you need them.

 

[Ron Vogel]

I think it will be ok, a few of my old stock injectors had broken discs and were fine. When I put the clips on the rail I was moving the injectors up and down in the bore. I think I may have rolled the o-ring off the injector when I did that. It's probably when it happened. It shouldn't take me long to fix so I'll play around with it this morning.

sounds good. but if it turns out you need them i have some that are taking up space in my garage. i would be willing to let them go to you
