Re: Anyone have a spare k8 ecu?
Well, the car idles really low like 200-400rpm's and bounces up and down between the two it is not steady. Sometimes it also does not start, it turns over fine but will not start. I will leave the car for 5 minutes after trying to start it and it starts fine. I did the HEI mod with external coil, it...

Re: Disty replaced, HEI with coil mod done, still stalling?
I never removed the coil from inside the distributor I just deactivated it by cutting that metal thing inside the disty, I just replaced the whole thing though less than 2 months ago I figured that it should be a good distributor as it's either new or rebuilt (not sure which, I didnt do it myself). ...

Re: HEI done but still leaves me stranded... Please Help
Ok, so I got the silencer blocked off. External coil mod is done and HEI is done, it worked for a week and by the end the car was having a hard time starting (turning over 4-10 times before it started). Now it's stalling again, 3 times in 2 days. Would the resistor on the tach cable have anything to...

Re: Car died. Troubleshooting help.
I can tell you right now it's your distributor, I JUST did the external coil mod yesterday to fix almost the exact same problem and now it runs perfectly.
P.S. Keeping the car below 3000rpm didnt work for me, infact it made it worse (just some food for thought)

Re: HEI done but still leaves me stranded... Please Help
Ok so I got my coil running and the car runs. However, I couldnt find a 1/2watt 1000ohm resistor anywhere so I used a 1/4watt 470ohm resistor, I need to know if there are any problems with my substitution? Also I have the stock intake box and I cant put that black tube thing on the left side of the ...

Re: HEI done but still leaves me stranded... Please Help
Hey guys, sorry to change topics but I've decided to just stick with the HEI/coil mod for now instead of the whole swap (moneys tight as Im starting school this semester :( ). I live in Alberta and we dont have to do emissions tests either. I just got the MSD parts for the coil mod as well as a new ...

HEI done but still leaves me stranded... Please Help
Hey guys, so I've been having problems with my disty randomly stalling and wont start for about 10 minutes and it always seems to happen at the worst possible time im getting sick of it. I did the HEI mod without the ignition coil and it still does it (less it seems but still not good). I've checked...

Re: Want clear headlight lenses for $10 and 5 minutes?
Toothpaste and a stiff toothbrush work just as well if not better and it's cheaper... Just my 2 cents

Problem starting...?
Hey guys, Here's my story, I live in Alberta, the last 2 weeks have been extremely cold (-35 degree celcius). I just bought the car so I didn't know how it would take the cold.... Not well to say the least, I tried starting it and it was turning over but would not get going. I tried boosting it and ...

Vent air leak (cold air)?
Hey guys, I did a search and found nothing on this topic so might as well ask. I just bought my '93 GS on Friday and it's awesome. However my first passenger in the car complained about cold air circulating around the passenger side foot area, I turned on the heat to feet and he stopped whining. But...
