now u just gotta yell out the window .. SEE YA ON THE SREETS and do some funny gang finger jester and haul ass somewhere w/ flames shooting out

Wanna pay for my headers so I can REALLY shake the house?

My friend has an ungodly heavily modded SRT4... i pulled up behind him and I have to say my exhaust sounds better, but his is louder... if I get headers that would change

Oh yeha, I was gonna try to find the SERV on the PCM but it's toooo humid! I will do it sometime after my surgery (surgery tomorrow yay), maybe like the end of the week or something. I really want that damn thing!

I hear many cars louder then my GA's exhaust , but they are V8 TA/camero's , stangs.... a few little 4 bangers but they hav no CAT's

I love the look on people's faces when you are at a light and they set thier revving their engine looking at the plain jane SE, thinking " I could take that" ......



... then I heavily pop the throtle a few times


They usually quit with the reving.

LOL I was by Rensselaer today (god I can never remember the spelling) again... down 65 once again Didn't tear up any cars but I didn't really try. I did manage to go through some nasty towns up when i tried to get on the toll road from 65 tho due to wrong turns... i was legitamately fearing for my life... but I survived

I go under the knife tomorrow and Thursday guys, wish me luck

[Gir-_-]

so I installed the MSD coilpacks... Fixed the misfiring I think.. but now the car is juttering when I rev it in park?

Could it might of been damaged the last time I drove it... I was going 45 in a 60 keeping the rpms right above 1k trying to be grandma easy on it so I wouldnt mess anything up

[Vipey1337]

engine rebuild with stage 2 kit ftw!

Just giv it a few to re-adjust it's self, you know how it is

[Vipey1337]

mouth. I can't eat solid foods for a few days and i cant brush my front few teeth for about a month LOL so I have to use this antibacterial stuff instead... this is gonna SUCK.

[Gir-_-]

yea I let it sit for a while and it didnt seem to fix itself hopefully this dude can bring his scanner out to the house... or else I'm lookin at getting it towed to a shop... sigh

[grfnkl]

Ouch, Mouth surgery... That's gonna suck. Lot of pain... and no solids. And you can't even drink through a straw.... Good luck with it!

Hey Gir- do you think your PCm has anything to do with the car running the way it does? Now that you have the new coil packs and all! Just a thought...

I think within the next day or so I'm gonna order my Dashhawk gauge for my 6. It'll be nice to see how things are running in the background, such as temps and airflows and running parameters!!!

[Gir-_-]

na grfnkl, I would think that the PCM timing that might of been placed by DHP wouldnt have any major affect with new coilpacks that only do a stronger spark... I put those things on and I FELT the difference in idle which is good, and it was doing it's best to run smooth but theres something else going on far deeper than coilpacks...

it drives, just not very well.... or very fast lol, and it shudders when accel and rpms dont seem like they want to go past 1200-1500 ish... I only drove it down the street and turned it around but even that was like... Ahhhh, it's still f**ked lol

I have a guy comin out w/ his crazy scanner... from what he told me it sounds like a GMTechII, just without the PCM programming *whew* .. I let em know on the phone... NO PCM WRITES lol

[Vipey1337]

yay my face is numb yet again, and now i cant bite into anything for 6 weeks. I have stitches that I feel with my tongue every time i talk which CREEPS ME OUT LIKE NONE OTHER, and I have had ZERO to eat or drink today, PLUS I can't get my permanent bridge until at the earliest THE FIRST DAY OF CLASSES IN WEST LAFAYETTE which is a 2 1/2 drive from my real home where I am now (Granger).... GRRRRRRR. I'm very irritable right now

Oh, and my car is spitting out black smoke apparently, so I'm going to get my oil changed NOW instead of waiting for my trans fluid to get in. My friend's dad said he'd change the oil for me since I don't have the tools to do it myself, so that's awesome. We're going out to get the royal purple here in like 30 min. I'm guessing he volunteered to do it because I installed a pair of speakers in my friend's truck yesterday (they sound fooking AWESOME), so he wants to return the favor. WOOT!

THen I'm going to have my friend help me get to my PCM since I can't really hit my face on anything lol

[grfnkl]

gir: I guess time will tell to find out what's wrong with your car then. It's probably something stupid causing the car to run bad like that like a bad vaccuum hose or one of the air sensors. that's how it always is.

Get this I went to look at the dashhawk gauge for my G6... guess what the aeroforce is now compatible with the can bus port which the G6 has... so now I'm undecided on which one to get...

vipey... black smoke?!!!! Aren't you a little concerned with that??! I know i would be.

all better i think

[Gir-_-]

PCM eh? let me know how that goes lol

If you have any questions just leave a msg here or if you want I can PM you my cell#.

dont be an idiot like me and break the retaining tab that holds the plastic piece that covers ur PCM. flat head the center out all the way, then pull the tab out.. and it'll slip right out. go fig lol

my own problems, It's cyl misfire for sure. lucky #3, pretty bad... and a little bit on the others only when rev but #3 for sure. we checked the spark on the new MSD packs .. DAMN lol, thats a hot burn goin on. So first things first. Going to get pricing of new stock injectors from autozone tomorrow, I do believe that they'll be OK for the future application of MMS P&P intake, + cam & rods and headers.... for what I got... brand new injectors shouldnt be a problem.... dont look to hard to install either so I might do it myself (Correct me XI aka grandam god if I'm wrong, send me a PM bro)

I need to find the local place that sold me my AC Delco iridiums, see if they have em in stock just in case (but i doubt it), call my kwik kar guy and see if he wants to check my plugs w/ me... b/c damn lol w/ that strut bar on there its going to be hell getting to the back ones.. I should just take it off for now like I did the trunk (me and a friend tried to bend the mount out, made it better but was to lazy to mount it back up... another day lol

[xeroinfinity]

Good luck with the bitting Vipey aka weather man

grfnkl, go with the CAN system if its the same price, which it should, it'll give you more detailed info

Gir-_- get a noid light
This will test the injectors to see if they are all working.
I'd almost bet its the injector or the wires have a short.
Also check the plug wire and make sure the ends are not broke inside the boot. Could also pull that plug and see how it looks.
I thought you had Iridiums recently, most I've seen are lasting between 65-80K miles. If you hav been running rich, it could have fauled it out and burnt up.

Just an FYI I might go on vaction and be out of here for 1-2 weeks.
I'm thinking of going to wisconsin with some of my wifes family and goin fishin, somewhere close to Chippewa Falls

All I know is...... I'm driving my SE !
