    high ltft regular stft

    notes: idle is fine, power is fine, when i changed the plugs though it looked like it had been running pretty lean, which explains a +positive long term fuel trim. any ideas?

    high ltft regular stft

    I posted a similar question somewhere inside a thread once, but every few weeks I've thrown a p0420 or p0430 or both. I've gone through 3 pairs of cats trying to fix this. I refuse to believe after 500 miles these cats are clogged or killed. My O2s dont seem out of whack at all, but my STFT...

    Throttle Body cables queston

    Got a first gen. There are two cables running to the throttle body, one has to be the throttle cable, what's the second one? and which on is which? I ask because the little plastic end on the one closer to the engine snapped. It's been repaired with some plastic weld (good stuff!), but I...

    Trans solenoid pack question

    Ok, I've got that teardown guide ready, the new solenoid pack ready to order, it looks likeit can be done without dropping the transmission, has anyone completed this repair yet? One big question: how do you go about refilling the fluid ion the trans after? I know its a sealed unit.. I'd like...

    Another Transmission "E"

    Any write-ups available? I was a mechanic for 4 years, and I've done all my own work for my last 3 cars and all my friends' cars but I never once touched a transmission. So, I'd be willing to guinea pig this car a bit more... Note: this is a GEN 1, not sure if that matters because I thought I...

    Another Transmission "E"

    Now that you mention it, there often is a delay moving into reverse and every now and again it almost seems to "catch" into reverse a bit harshly. About how much would this issue run on the bill?

    Another Transmission "E"

    Thanks man! Things have been going pretty awesome so far. If you watch MMA, I'm fighting in two weeks on Bellator in Maine. I'm sad to say with all of the added breakdowns of my beloved LS, if I win my winnings may be going towards a replacement vehicle :(

    Another Transmission "E"

    So, cruising along about 40-45 I notice that it hasn't shifted into 5th because I'm cruising at about 2500RPMs. I put into into SST to try to force the shift, and it all of a sudden drops into 3rd and TRANSMISSION ERROR and "E" gear. I turn the car off for a little while, then restart it and...

    odd behavior at idle

    I'm beginning to suspect these cats too, but the reason I replaced them when doing the exhaust to begin with was I was getting this code before too... the clockspring has been replaced so I am believing these are all somehow intertwined.

    odd behavior at idle

    No matter if the car is warm or cold, when I start the car it has a strange behavior problem. At first it idles fine, and will idle for about 2 minutes, if I leave it in park or drive it for a few feet then put in park again, eventually the idle wil drop lower and lower until it really starts...

    Rear lower control arm bushing replacement (pics)

    Thankfully some new options, my LSs rear end started squeaking about a month ago, but I. Haven't had any spare time or money to replace the whole shebang. Time is easier to find than money, so replacing just the bushings is a godsend!

    fuel pressure regulator

    The more I read up on it.. a raised LTFT with proper STFT could just be a result of the higher airflow from the aftermarket intake and exhaust? "The modifications we perform on our engines are mostly designed to increase airflow. With a greater airmass entering the engine than is accounted for...

    fuel pressure regulator

    So.. if I understand correctly I've maxed past the top short trim value 10 times over basically? And that is my now default-ish operating range to keep 14.7:1 because of whatever problem I have to hunt down?

    fuel pressure regulator

    Hm. Because my STFT is right where it needs to be at all speeds, idle, cruising, accelerating.. but my LTFT is remaining +10 higher than my STFT no matter what. No matter how long I drive it the LTFT doesn't level back with the Short term.
