finally back in the saddle!!! (updated with int and motor pics and vid)
Well its been a few years of hard times and alot of money going out with not much comming in... but i'm finally back in the saddle again!!! sooo happy!!! Here is the new pony..
its a 1993 5.0 lx with a gt body kit. 5 speed, flow 40's cat back, high flow h pipe (2 cats instead of 4), bbk strut tower brace, full length weld in sub frame connectors, a/c system delete, egr and smog pump systems deleted... thats all i can tell visually as of right now that it has. got a bunch of left over parts from the 86 to put on it, off road h-pipe, upr blu thunder short shifter, upr billet steel under drives, summit billet quad and billet firewall adjuster, mac equal length headers.. and a few other minor things. only problem is it idles at 1500-2000rpm. i have cleaned iac, cleaned throttle body, cleaned maf and that hasnt worked. all i can do now is check and clean salt and pepper shaker connectors, check tps voltage.(cant seem to find my DVOM right now, not sure if i let somebody borrow it or if i missplaced it).
would the deleted egr system cause it to idle as high as it does maybe?? looked for vacum leaks and found a couple and fixed them but idle is still about the same.
