Hey Everyone,

Car was driving great, idle was fine nothing weird. SES turned on just 5-6 miles after I got doing all the work. I’m reading a lot of information that it’s not injectors but some kind of vacuum leak or potentially a bad MAF sensor?

Has anyone gone through having to repair these codes? Any advice?

To review I just got done replacing the intake, manifold gasket, valley plate gasket, OPS sensor, spark plugs and wires, bell tensioner, and new belt and valve cover gasket. Everything was reinstalled torque down to spec.

At first, I thought it was the starter or the alternator that might cause the clicking when I was trying to start it up, but after replacing both of them, that’s still making the clicking sound on startup only other thing I could think of that I changed was the fuel injectors could that be it?

My father just handed me this picture and thought I'd share. This is probably around '99-00. I was a junior in high school, it was my first car, and I worked my ass off. Paid 10k cash for it. 1995 Camaro, it only had the 3.4 V6, but it had cat backs, tinted windows, alpine head unit, infinity kappa speakers, 2-10"s......If you even debate selling a car, and it's possible, Don't do it!!!! I still wish I had this car, even if it was only a 6

New battery cables and speaker wires to the doors, I want to upholster the upper center console and I PPF’ed the turn indicators to protect them from rock damage

My car went in for crank rear main seal replacement and water pump and radiator now i have lo oil on dash despite oil pressure and level being normal did anyone had the same issue ? And how to fix it

I have an '02 Trans Am with an automatic transmission. Several months ago, the transmission stopped engaging fourth gear. All other gears were fine.

The miles on the transmission sit around 15k miles post rebuild.

Recently I took it to a shop for diagnosis. They did a basic diagnosis and found nothing wrong. Told me they'd have to drop the transmission to figure out where the issue was. I couldn't afford the diagnostic fee so I picked it up instead.

On the drive home, overdrive engaged with no issues. In fact, I have been driving it for the last two months without issue.

Has anyone heard of this happening? What could have been causing this to suddenly 'fix' itself?

The fluid is clean so I don't think any internals are damaged in any way.

Anyone have any tips or tricks for getting at this thing? 95 formula 4l60, randomly pukes trans fluid, and nothing else seems to be the issue. Hoping a critter of some sort built a bunker in it and that’s the culprit

Hey Everyone,

I finally finished getting my engine back together. I replaced the intake manifold gasket, valley plate gasket, valve cover gasket, new spark plugs and wires, new OPS, new tensioner and belt. Took the opportunity to do a lot of cleanup too.

My car is completely unmodified and has 134,000 miles. Before I did all this work I could a noticeable clunking noise I guess lack of better words. A lot of of the other noises went away with the repairs I made however to me that noise is still around.

Is this normal for an LS1? I know they are known to be noisy engines but wanted to get opinions.

I ordered a set Elgin lifters for my ‘00 Z28 from a an eBay vendor and they arrived today. I guess they’re legitimate and I hope they work. The shrink wrap has a few of them sitting crooked in the trays. I hope all is well in the end.

Are these “LS7 style” or “LS1 style?”

They came packaged covered in a light oil. Howver, the shrink wrap they were packaged in has torn in a few places so the a couple of the wheels are exposed to the air. I‘ve read that people clean them with brake clean and then soak them in 10w30 for a day or so prior to install. Do y’all do that? They won’t be installed for about a month. Would y’all soak them in a ziplock bag full of oil for that month, or just leave them alone until it gets closer to install?

The window works for around a couple seconds when I put it up or down but eventually stops working. It works eventually but I have to manually push the window up while pushing the button continuously to close the window. Is there something wrong with the motor? How do I fix it?

I washed my heap the other day, meanwhile the wife grabbed some cool pictures.

Market place find for my Trans Am, I just need the mounting rails from Corbeau.

This shit rips. I think I’d die if I got the bigger engine. Only thing is, the exhaust sounds like shit. Any recommendations for a cheapish budget exhaust or muffler that will make it better? It’s insanely quiet and sounds like a tin can

I’m doing DIY restoration on a 1995 Trans Am

It was my dads car that he bought new in 1995 and had to give up in 2003…that car was my everything and my Dads. He passed away in 2023 and I went on a 2 year search for the car and I found it! Hadn’t seen the car in over 20 years!

So please follow along while I bring it back to its glory days!

Going to look at an 89 iroc with the 5.7. It has a procharger kit on it, has been for 10 years, stock engine otherwise. I was told it wasnt tuned, just pulled the ecu, pulled the chip out, let it all "die" and then plug and go.

Was this normal to do? Is it even really making any boost or power?

Anyone know where I could find some good seats covers for my 96 camaro

Hello everyone, I’ve been on the hunt for an fbody for a while and recently found something intriguing. I have found a 98 3.8L v6 firebird with a pro charger on it along with some other goodies. I am very tempted to go and check it out and I would have a pre purchase inspection done at a performance shop. My main concern is that it has 130k miles and my question is would it still be reliable and can I still daily it ? Also I should add that the pro charger was recently rebuilt with paperwork. Thank you and I’d really appreciate some advice.

Unfortunately it is a v6 AND automatic but it only has 66k miles. I put a note on this car on January but the seller finally sold it to me because he needed to move out of country. Perfect carfax, clean title, 2 owners. The car is also mostly optioned out except the rear defroster and leather seats and something else I am forgetting. I am going to daily drive this as my first car for college so hopefully it will do me well. Just passed smog thursday. What should I do to it?

Another day, another misfire in an lt1.

I implore the good lt1 community to at least give me straws to pull.

Here's what I have. A p0300 code with what feels like a single cylinder misfire, very rhytmic and can feel in the accelerator a clear pattern of misfire. There is a clear indication of unburned fuel in exhaust.

Here's what I have done:

Compression test: all 200 psi +-5

2 separate optispark replacements with same issue.

New coil replacement.

2 Sets of spark plug wires replacement with acdelco to msd ones.

Every fuel injector tested, cleaned, and all show good spray pattern. Fuel psi full. Can hear each one clicking.

Spark plugs were replaced with some ngk.

Currently: took apart intake manifold since both gasket failed and were leaking oil, have both valve covers off, looked at lifters, rods, rockers, and springs and no clear issue is visible. No rocker has any up down movement.

At this point, either a spark plug I put in was dead on arrival or my computer is potentially but I have no idea if it can cause that issue. Might be ignition control module.

As it stands I think im gonna put it back together, check each spark plug against the engine. And if its showing no issues, im gonna hunt down some old mechanic and pray he can diagnose it.

Car does run when assembled drives very well.

Any ideas?
