Yeah, but at the rate I'm going it will be years.

You running cats?

I get a little sprinkle like that from time to time when its cool out since im not running cats on my 'hoe. Not THAT bad, but a little bit.

[MattB]

Factory cats. I'm thinking maybe some of the carbon & build-up from the previous motor that blew-up.

PS, the best trick for getting a stubborn oil filter off is an old leather belt.

I'll have to try this!

Yeah, factory cats, and that's very possible. There was probably a lot.








Soooooo anyone wanna help with a clutch install this weekend? lolz

[CWO]

Ok. Car runs pretty good now. I added a ground strap because the one I had was a little tattered. I also replaced the front crank seal because I'm pretty sure I damaged the previous one when I was installing it. I also didn't put a dab of silicon on the keyway and that caused a little bit of oil to seep past the bolt when the engine was running but not enough to actually leak and leave a stain in the driveway. On the way into work this morning it felt pretty good but there is still a slight hesitation when I get below 2000rpm or so and staying steady on the gas. I'm hoping it's just the computer still learning, I heard it can take a while. I know I need a tune soon as well. I'll try to get that done in the next couple weeks.

I want to thank everyone that offered suggestions, kept this thread on topic, and helped by getting their hands dirty. It is much appreciated.


Lastly, I don't need a new clutch/throw out bearing after all. At least not any time soon.

Driveability tune will sort out a lot of those issues.

Now to pick a tuner...

I'd get a SCT3 and pick a shop to do it. They'll use a laptop and redo all the tables, load it into the SCT and load it into the PCM. They can do so much with the new software it's unreal, you don't need standalone until you're requiring more inputs/outputs than the stock PCM offers.
