    Question Noob to PSD - Cruise Control Problems

    The PCM in 96 autos has terrible torque convertor control and allows it to unlock any time you release the throttle. Chips can be burned to a different PCM code to eliminate the problem but I dont know if you edge addresses it or not.. It's easy enough to install a switch to manually lock the...

    Question '97 PSD MPG's

    If his PSOM is still calibrated for stock size tires and he is running larger than stock then he is actually going farther and faster then the speedometer/odometer shows. If that's the case then the mileage would be even better. Either way I'd be real happy to get even close to that, my best...

    Question '97 PSD MPG's

    Does he have a pyrometer and boost gauge? If not he might consider getting them. Both EGT's and boost are the result of adding more fuel. The lower you can keep the numbers the better the mileage will be.

    Actually just the opposite is true.

    Intercooler ?'s

    Intercoolers don't add either horsepower or torque, they just allow you to use what you already have without worrying about your EGT's

    Question fuel guage reads way over full

    That's right, so a break in the wire would cause the gauge to read past full. Pin # 5 on the fuel selector valve is a yellow wire with a white tracer, check it for continuity between the valve and the gauge.

    Fuel pressure

    The fuel pressure is preset at 46 psi but a lot of guys like to bump it up to around 60 to insure that the injectors get their fill of fuel in the alloted time. There are two tranny coolers in series. First it goes through the oil to water cooler in the bottom of the radiator and then it goes...

    up pipe leaks

    If you use the OEM gaskets you might want to do like Patrick suggested and take some material of the face of the clamp sections. If you ues the SB Chevy donuts they are a bit thicker and it won't be necessary. Also if you have a tailpipe expander tool it will help the gaskets seal if you expand...

    Fuel pump -OR- clogged tank pickup?

    Richard, Ive got at least one Pollak valve out in the shed, and If I did deep enough Im sure there is another one around here somewhere. If you need it let me know. Ya might as well go fill the gas tank on that Nissan, looks like you'll be driving it for a while longer.

    passenger lower rear shock mount

    You can get the mount from Ford for less than $40 but the u-bolt and nuts are not included. The right and left sides mount the shock at a different angle so make sure they give you the right one.

    Fuel pump -OR- clogged tank pickup?

    Richard If you go with a permanently mounted gauge do not mount it like THIS It needs to have some fuel line between the gauge and the regulator to absorb the pulses from the pump or it will self destruct. By the time I drove to and from work (46 miles) mine was DOA when I got home.

    Fuel pump -OR- clogged tank pickup?

    Hey Here's Sam's FPR picture that shows the shows the spool valve, shim, cap and spring in the correct order. See the 90's on the regulator, they're far more restrictive than the 45's on the head. Dont worry about it you will be good. I'll be home for the rest of the day, call me back if...

    Fuel pump -OR- clogged tank pickup?

    Richard The FPR is supposed to be preset at 46 psi. You can shim it with BB or a 4-40 screw, I like the screw better because its lets you adjust the pressure to where you want it. Certainly that banjo bolt didnt strip when he was removing it, he musta crossthreaded it when he put it in the...

    Hey Hey Glad to see that you're up and running again, but I know you're gonna miss the little rental. :eek: No goop in the rear tank is a good thing, I didn't think there would be much if any, once they blend I've never had them seperate. I've ran so much junk thru my tanks I'm afraid they...

    Change out the Headlights on a 97?

    Nope, no need to remove the valance or grill, but it is easier if you take out the batteries to get at the "hidden" fasteners. This'll help: 92-97 headlight replacement

    Hey Richard Did you get rid of the stone yet? I know the situation isn't funny but the part about the veggie filter sure struck me as funny.
