    Shaky idle

    Re: Shaky idle Changed new plugs with .028 gap and put 2/3 tank fresh gasoline. Maybe a slight improvement, but not much. What bugs me, that it seems to be a bit of a on/off thing, not perfect at any point, but sometimes better, sometimes worse. The high idle seems to be connected with the AC...

    Shaky idle

    Re: Shaky idle Nope, still does it. The thread heading is not relevant anymore, biggest problem is the high load low rpm misfiring. I took it for a drive with boost solenoid unplugged. On full throttle at high rpm runs ok, but after upshift starts misfiring. I took a Tunerpro recording...

    Gauge cluster LED install (how to)

    Re: Gauge cluster LED install (how to) The map lights on my '93 Ty are slightly different and much easier to change the bulbs. Just undo the inserts by rotating them counterclockwise by fingernail or screwdriver using the star shape grooves in the middle. No need to remove the console. I had to...

    Shaky idle

    Re: Shaky idle Pretty sure I finally nailed it, at least its idling nicely . Took a while for various reasons - too long a story, but I ended up changing the instrument cluster bulbs to leds, installing the boost gauge and polishing the instrument cluster glass "while I was at it". Plus taking...

    93 Ty parts wanted

    Here's a list of parts that I'm looking for. Parts need to be in (near) mint condition. Also hints for shops where to get them are welcome. Seller needs to be willing to ship to Europe. I'd prefer using PayPal. Rear window defrost and wiper switches Stock air intake tube from air cleaner to...

    Shaky idle

    Re: Shaky idle It seems that I've managed to damage the oil pressure switch, probably when pulling out the distributor, which was a bit stuck. Damn.

    Shaky idle

    Re: Shaky idle Decided to change the pick-up coil even though it gave ok readings. After disassembling the distributor I noticed that it might very well be the cause for the symptoms, the look was pretty nasty. Also the shield retainer was broken, I noticed earlier that the shield was loose...

    Re: Shaky idle Earlier I wrote this: Now some strange behavior with the tachometer also. Decided to start a new thread, since this may be an another issue: http://www.syty.net/forums/showthread.php?p=1117618#post1117618

    Crazy tachometer and speedometer needles

    Stock '93 Typhoon. Earlier I noticed my speedometer needle jumping to 50 when cranking the engine. Only did that occasionally. Today after cold start the tachometer jumped from 1200 rpm (cold idle) to 3000, then to 0 (or vice versa, cant remember) and back to 1200. All this within one second...

    Shaky idle

    Re: Shaky idle Thanks for the encouragement, Jusssi ;-) Yes I've changed the coil. The wires are these: http://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=2768234&cc=1164451&jsn=12 At least it says they have heat protection? Runs ok against brakes. Didn't push that hard though. Today I checked the...

    Shaky idle

    Re: Shaky idle and misfire Re: Shaky idle and misfire Checked and changed the plugs again, at least visually they're all fine. And changing the plugs did nothing. It's been couple of weeks that I've done nothing for this, but now I got myself a ALDL cable and TunerPro RT software. I already...

    What did you do to your SyTy today? (part 2)

    Re: What did you do to your SyTy today? (part 2) Had a dream of it. Did a boost launch and it run just fine :roll:

    Removing the roof rack

    Re: Removing the roof rack Having the exact same thoughts as conlyn. I'm planning to have the Ty repainted within a year or so and would like to see the rack go at the same time. But should be also able to put it pack if I have second thoughts after all. But probably I'll keep it.

    Shaky idle

    Re: Shaky idle Yes it is possible to have a damaged plug. Already ordered a new set plus ignition module. I'll change the plugs one at a time when I get them. Also did spray start pilot to point out any vacuum leaks. No such luck. At least I't trying to make educated guesses ;-) Quite a bunch...

    Shaky idle

    Re: Shaky idle I'll keep writing this"blog" so I can check what I've already done when I'm still banging my head against the wall one year later. Yesterday took my friend, who is a GM transmission expert, for a ride. He was pretty confident that there is no converter issue. Also did the...

    Shaky idle

    Re: Shaky idle Drove to work with the oxygen sensor unplugged today, no change. I only have the stock boost gauge and it shows 8ish psi at idle. Need to check the other stuff later. Thanks guys for the help!
