zzp's turn to shit, can anyone help me out...

[snoop]

zzp has officially gone down the fucking drain. been dealing with them since '98, rebuilt dozens of motors using nothing but them/their parts, and as of lately, they cant seem to handle or have a fuckin clue on my problem as they keep dishing me off and that even IF they answer back, so im turning to you guys that hopefully can. is there anybody here that can delete my rear o2 sensor code? i dont have the hardware or whatever is needed, and since there syms have a piece of shit, i just wanna delete the code all together. i have a 00 grand prix gtp. any help would be great guys, thanks again.

p.s. ive heard of wrapping the sensor with steel wool or something like that, anybody ever try that?

what is zzp doing/not doing?

you need a tuner to turn the code off... where are you located?

 

[PANDA]

Do you have a tuner? DHP or HPT?

This isn't the first time I heard of a professional tuner that couldn't delete a code.

 

[snoop]

i work in the maywood area and live in romeoville. its a dhp in there now....

 

[shaferz]

DHP (even if using the stock software) should have access to remove reporting for most all codes.

 

[Yaj Yak]

By how he said it I am assuming he is saying it is a dhp pcm in there

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

I had a dhp PCM back in the day and it still threw a rear o2 code and still had the speed governor on it even though they said it didn't. Then they claimed they couldn't figure out the issue

Mine was also an 00 gtp. Maybe they never fixed it

LOL, FUCK!!!! and yeah kj, thats exactly it dude, i got a dhp in there. so theres no way of deleting this code then? anyone ever try the steel wool thing?

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Maybe with a dhp tuner you could fix it. They were dicks to deal with though.

I've heard of using spark plug anti-fowlers to space it out but I've never heard of using steel wool.

That's so weird the sim isn't working. Get a sim from somewhere else. A rear o2 is a rear o2. My sim worked for 3+yrs, and as far as i know it's still working. Maybe you just had bad luck? IDK. Another option is you could get a spacer that screws into the existing o2 hole and extends the sensor away from the exhaust pipe.

That's called a spark plug anti fowler. You can find them in the help section of any auto parts store.

yep yep, thats what i was asking about if anyone else had done that. i heard, to be on the safe side, to use steel wool and boom, never a problem again.

@10sec, i hear ya dude. i told zzp how long i been dealing with them and that my 01 NEVER had a problem at all, ever with it. and now, after i build this thing, this is my 2nd one im on. at least this last one lasted 2-3 years. but the original one i used, it quit in like a week. oh well, such is life i guess

That is BS when they just give you a big after all the years of business. That's ZZP though, they just don't care. It's a shame people continue to use them, a business run like that deserves to go under.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

I'd just like to say that even with the stock limiters set my car went faster on the dhp PCM then an intense PCM which is what I swapped too

 

[phat_ridegt]

so zzp is a piece of shit because you have a rear o2 code? lol

do you have a rear o2 and its setting the code because of headers are is it just not there?

 

[snoop]

they wont stand by there product, admit theres a problem, and they keep handing me off to different people on top of telling me to email different people to see what they say. this is the 2nd time with the same problem, and they do nothing but give a run around. i dont have headers, just a simple exhaust, nothing custom or drastic...and if you want to get technical, ITS THEIR 3" EXHAUST! im pissed at them, but i think im more dissapointed than anything, ive never know them to be like this and i think thats whats killing me. but none the less fuck'em....anyone know where else to buy a solid motor mount? mine is busted and leaking underneath....

 

[1quick]

I think his rear o2 simulator took a shit?

 

[phat_ridegt]

napa sells the solid mount.

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

solid mounts arent solid unless you pump em full or rtv or urethane

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Solid means not filled with oil not completely solid rubber.

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

lately the one's that arent filled with oil are filled with water

i havent yet drilled into one that was actually empty... panda's zzp solid was full of oil.

solid does mean solid.
call em what they are....hollow OEM type mounts

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

I've bought "solid" mounts for other cars before and they were just hollow instead of filled with oil. Still collapsed lol

Make a post in the General section on clubgp....that usually gets things done quickly.
