Hello all and glad to be a new member. Just bought a 1985 z51 and it spark knocked pretty bad, got a EGR pintle out of position on my AutoXray 5000 scanner. The car has 76k on it and when I got it home changed plugs and noticed they were gapped at .045 instead of .035. put platinums in it and new MSD wires, new MSD blaster coil and ignition module along with new capacitor and harness. Checked pick up coil and was in spec. Added Shell Premium gas, a full tank and some DRY gas thinking water was in the tank. since 1999 car has been driven 2,140 miles. Also got Mobil one and a black mobil one filter, putting a fuel filter in and thinking about replacing the injectors while I have the plenum off doing the EGR and heater hose bypass of throttlebody.
WOULD A STINKIN EGR VALVE CAUSE THAT MUCH KNOCKIN? SOUNDS LIKE 8 BABY RATTLES IN THE BLOCK, REALLY BAD. ANYONE HAVE SOME INPUT, ALSO NOTICED HERE IN VEGAS TEMPS WERE AT 115 AND AFTER DRIVING TO STORE 10 MILES, CAME OUT AND CAR DIDN'T WANT TO START RIGHT AWAY, AFTER COUPLE CRANKS fine ???
has new air filter and all new vacume lines, rubber ones anyway didnt bother with the hard plastic ones, they looked fine. Sory about the babbleing, but there are some smart guys on this site, hope someone has had this problem in the past and can shed some light. Much appreciated ;help :bash
