Thumbs up Boy do I feel like an idiot ! ! ! !

I don't remember how many of you said to check the MAP sensor.....and I said I did ! ! ! ! Well physicaly checking it and looking at it to see if it's on are two different things. I even had a friend look at it too and there we were both thinking it was hooked up....well it wasn't and now the DAMN thing runs like it's supposed to. Thanks for everyones help. Will try and do better next time.

zip/tie that bad boy tightly on the nipple now.

Your first MAP sensor line pop-off is a scary feeling, huh?

Thanks for being kind

Glad no ones flamming me too bad (Len). I deserve it...just hope I didn't hurt anything trying to make it run right with it off...probably washed the rotors out real good with all th gas it must have been dumping in thinking it was in a -0- vacuum condition when it wasn't. Amazing what you can do with the idle screw and that one just under the throttle body (what's that one do ?) any way set the idle down and will change the oil tomorrow. Still getting prepared for the Evans coolant conversion. Thanks again fellow rotorheads, Jack

Lightbulb Speaking of flames !!!!

Well as for mods I'm not in too heavey yet.which makes this interesting. I still have the stock main cat on it a down pipe and some after market cat back.....it's my understanding that if you have a main cat you can't or (don't usualy) shoot flames. Eddie was ridding behind me the other night (on the way to a club meeting) and in formed me I was flamming about a foot or so out of the tail pipe. This thing must have been dumping loads of fuel ! ! ! ! ! And yes Toadman the map sensor problems is scarry (acts just like an apex seal leak or failure). No more flamming till the mid pipe and boost controller.
