cruise control / throttle problem, URGENT HELP NEEDED

[FormulaLT1]

I was saying that if he wants to remove it , its his opinion and using my own experience with egr's, cat's and air pumps. You always have those people that are diehard stock people that say fix like it was or it will drive like shit but thats not always the case. I can't think of any of the parts I removed cause I didn't feel they needed to be there and it caused a negative effect. Ofcourse there are limits but most accessorys/options or Emissions equipment can be removed and reprogrammed for if its incorporated into the PCM.

Look, I wasn't trying to start a fight... I was just saying that one little cable don't hurt anything being there. Whether the cruise works or not, whether anypart of the cruise system is in the car or not. If I wanted something like that out of my car and I couldn't get it out without cutting it, I would just leave it at least until some other opportuinity presented itself. But thanks for calling me a fucktard that gave me a good laugh...

Thanks guys, well after letting it sit for a while after soaking it with PB blaster, and after removing the CC cable from the throttle body, it was fine... closes all the way on its own now.

Lemm think up a quick list of stuff i've removed...

back seat and seatbelts
pass. airbag and airbag module
10-15 lb tranny mounted exhaust hanger
cat
air conditioning (everything except for the big black firewall-mounted box and wiring... and YES, that is only for A/C and does not affect the heat on 4th gens... that will be removed once I can make up a blockoff plate for the firewall)
front sway bar and brackets
cruise control
MANY miscellaneous bolts and screws

track only:
pass. seat
spare and jack



All of that's out and it's fine... camarosrsweet you just gotta loosen up and have more fun with your car man, haha.

oh and also I went from the stok 2 piece drivewshaft to the current aluminum... this one is 10 lbs the stocker was 20 something, close to 30 maybe even just above 30, dont remember offhand

I'd still put the back up spring on there just in case, what would it hurt

[CamarosRsweet94]

The driveshaft I completely understand I was even thinking about changing mine, but couldn't find one priced reasonably. And it isn't that I don't have fun with my car, I just don't like the idea of following in the ricers footsteps of taking stuff out to try to make their 4 cyl faster. I get it though, you are looking to go fast in a straight line and that is what you want, I want the thrill of cruising down a country road through corners and pushing my car through them.

Well......

Camaro's are not necessarily know for being "nimble". As a matter of fact, I had always heard that Camaro's flat out SUCK for performance handling and that's why you see so many upgrade kits for suspension and steering components. The design is excellent at the strip though and that's why so many of them are made into 1/4 mile cars.

Any weight reduction would help out handling and well as lighten the load for straight line races. I would NEVER trust my maro running on a country road... I'm not putting ANY faith in throwing 3000 pounds into a corner and not sliding off the damned road. lol, Especially with them skinnies up front. If I could shave (or more bluntly... CARVE) 500 pounds or so off her, then I'd feel a little more comfortable doing it, but until then.... Blast through the straight-a-ways, nice and relaxed in the corners .

How is weight reduction a ricer thing... look back to the 60's, buddy...

[Earlsfat]

Hmmm..... If I lose weight via drastic measures does that make ME rice???
Like if I gave up cheesesteaks and ate rice (perish the bastard thought) to lose 40 pounds when I only need to lose 15 (at least that's what I'm saying).

OR - what if you let some little skinny guy drive your car??? Does that make HIM rice???

I'll shut up now.

[wrightz28]

haha,that's kinda like the monkey in the trunk commercials, keep some little skinnyfuck in the trunk just ofr racing.

[Savage Messiah]

Wright - mayb,e I'll get a pic of my assembly to so you knwo what im looking at... its not a conventional spring and not visible per se. And that runkmonkey commercials are funny as HELL!!!

Jim - Actually look up Sam Strano's LS1 Z28... wins many many autocross events

[Earlsfat]

Interesting....
