Technology Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 (edited) If it's flooded and you need to start it, floor it while cranking. It'll clear it out really quick. Also, you could get a carbon fiber sunroof insert and disable the mechanism. Edited December 16, 2013 by Technology Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben rip all the junk aftermarket wiring and get it stock, i bet theres 10lbs of copper there to scrap. lol i had to rig up his wipers on a toggle switch just to get him home. im sure that was no fun having road spray on the windshield and no wipers.

dukaine Posted December 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 Still having major starting issues when shutting off for a short while and after I get it refired it don't run very good for a little bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrngwae Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 the no start after shut down may be the injectors leaking off the fuel pressure. loosen up the clamp on the ovcp,,,,, fire it up,,,, let it run a minute,,,, than shut it off. look inside the mixer is there any fuel dripping? if so, clean/replace injectors. but you have other wiring issues, you don't need to put your foot on the brake to make it start/crank. or your starter is on its last leg.

dukaine Posted December 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 i bought everything today to hopefully clean the injectors myself but when i got back i left the car running and when i shut it off i looked in the mixer and i didnt seen any fuel leaking. And afterwards i tried starting it for the hell of it and it didnt want to start. Garage is warming up right now and im still going to try cleaning injectors anyway since it wouldnt hurt but im hoping i dont have some other issue going on. It is also kinda acting like my firebird did when the tps was bad. That may be my next target to check on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dukaine Posted December 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 Runs pretty good when warmed up nice and smooth but runs really ruff when u first start it up and I do have a high idle now when warm about1400rpms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dukaine Posted December 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 (edited) Hmm later this afternoon it ran pretty good i even tried shutting it off and turning it back on. I got a fuel filter im putting in in a bit and will try again. I am also wondering about the o rings on the injectors. I got a kit with a bunch of injector o rings. The ones that were in it sealed but arnt very tight neither are the ones that i found in the kit. Is there a special size oring i need for these cars. I am not sure how great that seal is under pressure. I did also notice it has what looks to be another seal on top of the injector itself that may also help to seal. Any input would be helpful here Edited December 18, 2013 by dukaine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dukaine Posted December 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 Looks like so far the running issue is fixed just started it after it sat about an hour and didn't miss at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dukaine Posted December 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2013 Ok question are these SHP shocks? I had my left side tires off cleaning up some leaky tire beads and a new valve stem and took a shot of the shocks with the dial on them. The car has SHP wheels already. And looks to have SHP suspension. Tye informed me its not a SHP car though. So let me know what u guys think these are. Are they SHP shocks or something else. Also i found a stripped gear to the electric sunroof that wasnt working. I never have shopped for sunroof parts before and ill show u guys the housing the gear sits in and the gear itself here. If anyone knows how to get a replacement gear for this. The stripped gear is the larger gear in the housing upside down and cables run under that gearhttp://i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae334/duko111/IMG_20131224_151224_134.jpg http://i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae334/duko111/IMG_20131224_181812_885.jpg http://i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae334/duko111/IMG_20131224_181956_743.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txc-360 Posted December 25, 2013 Report Share Posted December 25, 2013 Some runability issues can be from the fuel. Beings it's winter time put a little bit of gas in that has 10% ethonal. It will displace any water in the fuel system. Cheap easy solution sometimes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrngwae Posted December 25, 2013 Report Share Posted December 25, 2013 That is an shp strut. but your car is not. it is an 87 and the tire size chat in the door only show one tire size. also your sunroof is aftermarket as they never had power sunroofs.

dukaine Posted December 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2013 (edited) Yea maybe but its a 88 I do think someone put on the parts and I do think its aftermarket but I still like to fix the sunroof. But I do find it weird how stock the rest of the car is and then to have them parts other then the alarm and stereo. For anyone that cares here is the tire sticker on the door jam. I am guessing its not a shp but has the shp wheels and shocks and here is the stickers that is suppose to determine if it is a shp and u guys can tell me. http://i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae334/duko111/IMG_20131225_125848_553.jpg Edited December 25, 2013 by dukaine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starion86ESI Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 That's a SHP sticker stock sizes are 215 and 225 I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
