i finnished going through the top end of my sc awhile ago, but since I'm in college i dont have much time to work on it now(that and I'm 2.5 hours from it). So I haven't been able to figure out its issues and its stumped my auto tech instructors, my dad, and I. So, take a stab at this... lol
Car info- no ce light, no upshift light when it cranks, takes about 30 seconds to fire. plugs(autolites) and wires(taylors) are new, cam and crank sensors are newer(30-40kmiles) o2's are just dangling(open headers-no exhaust at the moment). It also won't go into boost, bypass valvle slowly starts to open and the car stutters, but if i hold it closed for a sec, it'll stay idling after the rpms are bumped to about 2500 rpms.Another issues, its been inside the garage and outside for 2 yrs on a 1/4 of gas with no stabalizer.
I had the firing order switched on 1&3 and it held 12"s of vaccum, but ran like *** and sounds like it had a huge cam in it.So I fixed that, still sounds like it has a huge cam in it and it only holds 2" of vaccum. All ic tubes are sealed good, almost all vaccum lines are new, all have hose clamps on them. It doesn't rev smoothly, like it has 2-3 plug wires disconnected, but their all connected good.
I really want this car to run right as its my baby, but i don't have any other cash to spend on it really. It would make me feel a whole lot better if someone could give me some pointers. My instructors only advice was to have it towed here and check it out, but I cant afford that, plus I dont trust some of the theiving bastards in my class. So any and all help is GREATLY appreciated.
