Status on my SC
Motor is running smooth as a baby's butt, no rough idle or weird noises and strong as a bull who got smacked in the ass with a sledge hammer (quoting adam mullen).
I got rid of one weird vibration that was making a rattling noise(thought it was my passengers seatbelt rail motor by the rear drivers side seat pannel) it ended up being the exhaust pipe hanger directly underneath it.
I have spoken to a couple of people and even gave a buddy of mine a ride in the SC, to see if the other ticking noise I hear is exhasut or tranny related, he says he couldn't hear it, and the tranny doesnt seem to be shifting weird, so it stays like that for a while then I'll see whats up. To quote him he says, if you think u hear it, turn up the system
I'm begining to think that it may be the fuel injectors (anyone know where I can get a can of the 3m stuff that you can bolt on to the fuel rail and run the car on to clean them, send me an email or respond to the post).
I know I can still hear it but its not as loud as it was, so I'm gonna check for vac leaks, and maybe even reseal the ic tubes, if need be. I took a screw driver to the fuel injectors, in lieu uf not having a stethoscope, and one of them sounded particularly noisy...that one gets checked first!
Tires are on the last third of tread life. My amplifier and new tweeters go in this weekend, and judging on performance from the cruise, I shall decide if I want a tranny cooler and shift kit first, or if I want to improve the fuel system first.
