I think a locking fuel cap should be a priority on the holiday gift list for your Z man With gas prices the way they are, fuel theft like that is going to happen more and more.

Yeah, I was watching that Manswers show on Spike TV the

other day and saw that guy who built that car in South Africa with

that flame thrower on it

Now that'd work. Jus like the narrator said, "BURRRN B*TCH" !!

iN OTHER NEWZ I got the car with new battery as the other one gad a

short in it.

Smoked alot of white clouds with the gasket sealant which cleared up.

Pulled all the wires off the Spark Plugs one at a time to see if

all the cylinders were going.

Number 6 now gets gas, all of 'em but #4.

Made sure all FI Ports were free of gasket sealant before installing

them so I know it's blocked (AGAIN )

Checked for spark and was getting spark.

Changed #4 Spark Plug and still no difference.

Changed the FI injector connector plug and still nothing so I

believe #4 Fuel Injector is now fried :surprised

Timing chain sound loose (rattle like).

She however is running wayyyy smother and starts on one key turn and

doesn't die when first turned on no more.

Shes goes to 1,100 RPM and stays there with no hesitation.

Still sound a bit rough so a complet tune up and check over gonna happen

for to long afther tranny shop.

Hopefully with good wheater I can do my comperssion check this

weakend and know more with that.

On better newz my Performance GT Gran Prix 215/60/R14 raised white letter

tires came in yesterday and they look AWESOME , so still making progress :):)

~Z~

Did some more fine tunning and got her running smoother still

#4 Fuel Injector is still gone but new one will be in at NAPA in the morning.

Beck Arnely brand was recalled BTW at NAPA anyway.

Check for exhaust leeks and saw the EGR Tube was puffing white at

the exhaust manifold so I tightend that up right quick!

Everything else looks and sounds good.

Ran a Compression Test also.

Let the engine run about 5 minutes are so till the temp guage read

halfway and got the readings of

Clyinder/ PSI

1- 145psi

2- 145

3- 145

4- 150

5- 145

6- 145

I understand it should be around 170 PSI or so.

Is my readings from not using the oil trick to get a higher

compression reading or is the numbers I got OK?

Keep in mind I only desconected the starter selonoid and went from there.

Those readings are fairly even and pretty normal for a car with 100000+ miles. You should worry when one cylinder is way off like 80 or something like that.

[dogma420]

if you use the 'oil trick' to get a higher compression reading, that would defeat the purpose of seeing what your actual compression reading is. The oil trick would tell you if the 145 vs. new was 100% due to the rings, vs. valve leaks. Your compression of 145-150 is just fine though, imo., for over 100k.

AHH AH AHHHHHHHH

Just got off the phone with ATCO

and my tranny bill Codded Out at $1087 !

and thats before the decimal

New Master and Slave Cylinder, resurfaced flywheel, all new clutch kit

and new Diff and Tranny Fluid.

Geez, and I just paid $433 for my new Gran Prix GT's only to find out I need

another $438 for complet new brake job after that!

Pads drums everything, it's all Codded !

AHHHHHHHH

~Z~

[dogma420]

$1000 for a clutch? is that what that said? or was that for brakes too?

[sblake01]

That makes a good case for learning how to do those things yourself.

[full house]

$1000 for a clutch? is that what that said? or was that for brakes too?

$ 1000 for a clucth? where did you get that? :laugh:

[WingZr0]

Yikes!!

The work was just finished today and the guy said she works fine now.

I'm not sure what all they did yet but I get the invoice tommorow

morning.

Ther original qoute was $630for all the

above aforementioned minus the new Master and Slave cylinder which was

not known to be needed yet.

With $500+ of the 630 being just for lobor.

But what should the price have been though?
