some more follow up. bought two containers of lucas fuel injector detergent and used them in two tanks of chevrons techron. no improvement. thinking about sending injectors to gorden at whitchhunter. i need some tips on removing the fuel injectors. anything i should know b4 pulling these things out?

oh yeah, all connectors look tight and clean.

brought the vette to another chevy guy who came highly recomended. hes think bad injectors or bad egr valve. after doing some more research on this site im seeing a lot of talk about "open loop". i do have the 160 therm and its been quite cold here in vegas. car rarely gets into the 180's. but...

actually i hadnt made a decision yet. but i gotta tell ya these guys look good. the fact that they send you the program so you dont have to be without a car is the part that sold me.

gotta love them loose female connectors. anyway ill check it out next time i get home from work during daylight hours. thanx.

its a bbk/edlebrock unit. these problems started happening some time after i did any mod to the car. i only blow smoke when i get on it, about half way. other than that the car runs like a champ.

just a little follow up.... brought my car to a gm "performance shop." the guy had it all day. he said the car is in perfect running condition! no codes or anything. here it is 2 two weeks later and the car uses gas and blows black smoke like nobodys business. could it be a faulty injector?

new o2 sensors are in. still rough idle. gonna need a week or so to see if my mpg's are still low. dont wanna see the word optispark in my future.

sorry about the misprint. i meant 52mm. installed the hypertech pp over a year ago and the car ran fine since. i bought new sensors yesterday and im going to attempt replacing them today. any last words of advice?

i was looking into those programs but it seemed to me that the obd1 is very limited on what you can change or diagnose unless you go to a dealership. obd2 on the other hand is more friendly when it comes to the everyday schmo working on his car. if im wrong let me know because im still...

did a tb bypass more than a year ago. i should now report that the idle stays high (about 900rpms) even when warmed up.

i put on a 58mm throttle body on about two months ago. dont know anything about adjusting the tps or the iac valve. just recently ive been getting about 70 miles less per tank, rough idle, and black smoke from the tailpipes. im getting no codes. i was thinking o2 sensor but im not getting any...

thanx for the overwhelming info. it'll be a while b4 i'm done researching these products. i gotta get me a laptop first but that'll give me time to check all of these products.

thanks again jon. i guess what i really wanted to know is the limitations of these programs.

what exactly do those products like lt-1 edit do. im thinking about getting a laptop for myself and one of those programs would be my first purchase. will it do the following; 1-diagnose. for example, will it tell me the passenger side o2 sensor is bad? 2-give me real time info. like air/fuel...

looks mean. thanx for the info. ill let you know how it turns out.

cheese and rice 4 inches?!?! looks good though. im in the process of researching this balance tube dilemma. some say x-pipe, others say H-pipe. now you throw a wrench in the works and say install it by the spare. all i want to do is get rid of the resonance while cruising at 30-40 mph. it got...

does it matter where the balance tube is installed? ive always seen them b4 the mufflers.

i forgot to mention i have the programmer installed. i heard the programmer will only let you adjust the gear ratio to 3.70. i bought 3.75s. not a big deal but still. im gonna call and see what exactly they do. i dont like how the hypertech only kicks in at WOT. ie shift points and shift frimness.

thats the thing. its not stock. headers, mufflers, and throttle body. 3.75s are going in soon.
