a mechanic told me that my balancer being messed up and shacking will make my engine sensors not read right, and make my car run like ****. is that true? how much do they run, and are they hard to change?

 

it could, but we dont have anything like a knock sensor, crank position sensor, or any of that ****, so itll run fine... but vibrate like all hell.. which is very bad for it... i think their like 60 bucks, easy 15 min install, but u need a puller

 

easy to change..get a puller and use a 15/16 socket on an impact and wham the bolts off...insert puller and off ya ga!!!

 

how bout and exhaust leak, would that make it run bad?

 

gonna wanna remove the fan and shroud... easy job

 

if its before the o2 sensor... and its bad then yes...it would run rich

what do u mean by run bad though?

 

my car has an electic fan, its a 95 with a 5.0. wen i take off it shakes, and it dont have close to the power it use too, and it has two codes that popped up bank one and two running lean. i cleand injectors, cleand fuel rails, new fuel filter, cap, rotor, coil. and if it were plugs or wires, it would have different codes wouldnt it?

 

the shake is from the balancer if ur already saying its bad... replace that, see how it runs, it could cure ur lean issue.... then, check for vac leaks

 

yea i hope so, ima replace it this weekend, and wen i get paid on the first, ima put a set of headers, cuz the leak is comin from the factory ones and i aint taken them off twice. wut kind of header would be the best bang for my buck?

 

bbk shorties...

i mean a vac leak... not an exhaust leak...
