    Typhoon dome light question...

    When you guys pop the back glass, can you manually turn on that lil dome light in the back with the switch? I coulda swore my 94 Blazer had a 3-way rocker switch that was similar to most cars with (on - on when doors open - off). The one in my Ty is off/on when front doors open... i can't...

    Hesitation problem

    yeah... i was trying to go with the cheap parts first. Unfortunately I don't have anyone locally with a spare distributor to try that. I just ordered a new distributor, which will be here monday. After some adjustments to the throttle stop, IAC and TPS are all good. The chip is seated...

    Hesitation problem

    No change with a new MAP sensor either... Here's another video of the sound the truck makes when I barely tap the gas... it's audible in the cab and under the hood... and sounds like it's the distributor. I gotta get the stethoscope out and see if I can pin point it...

    Hesitation problem

    Well... it's not the coil or the ICM... got those installed today and no change. Update... and it's not the cap and rotor either. Map sensor shows up tomorrow...

    Hesitation problem

    I pulled the cap yesterday, and there's no side to side play in the distributor. There's maybe 2mm of up/down play in the distributor, and a lil over 1/8" of rotational play, which I believe is ok. All the wiring and connections to the coil and ICM look good. I have a new coil, cap/rotor, and...

    Hesitation problem

    Hey guys, sorry for the delay... had to order a new laptop battery for my ancient XP laptop, it wouldn't hold a charge long enough for me to do a DM run. Anyway here's a file of just cruising around for a bit, and getting on the gas a few times... I didn't do any WOT bursts just cause I want to...

    Hesitation problem

    Thanks Eric. I'll do a quick run on DM tomorrow, and then I'll drop a link here for download.

    Hesitation problem

    Well I pulled the cap and rotor and the rotor is a lil toasty around the edge, and some of the terminals under the cap are a lil burnt, but I wouldn't say they're bad enough to cause this much of an issue. Swapped the PCV's with the correct ones, and it almost seems like it's gotten worse... and...

    Hesitation problem

    I'll try to answer everyone at once here... I was thinking vacuum leak too, but I have all silicone lines and have gone through them so many times... Everything is connected correctly and there are no cracks, or splits in the lines. I'll have to try the innertube on the intercooler trick again...

    Hesitation problem

    Yeah, it does it all the time regardless if it's cold or warmed up. I thought it might be the MAP as well... I don't have a spare 3-bar, so I popped the old 2-bar in there today, just to see if there was any change at all, and it still does the exact same thing. Datamaster shows closed loop, so...

    Hesitation problem

    I've been having a hesitation problem for a while and I'm at wits end now that my Ty is my daily. I have a PLX wideband and when in park if I barely tap the gas like 7.5% TPS, my AFR goes to 10.0. the rpms dip, and then it revs up. It does the same when in drive and hitting the gas from a stop...

    RADwood Car Show In LA 12/2/2018

    Well there were only 3 of us total (my black 92, a red/gray 92, and a syclone) but we were spread out so no group pic... I didn't camp out in a lawn chair in front of my truck to play evangelist. But I did hang around my truck for a little bit just to hear what people were saying. My favorite...

    New Alpine Halo head unit... perfect for us or clunky garbage?

    yeah, it looked like a cool idea at first... but after a lil more recon, I agree, it's pretty clunky for $900. I gotta figure out something that works that doesn't involve anything apple related. Might have to settle on modding the bezel and going with one of those Parrot decks... there just...

    AWD and brake proportioning

    You wouldn't happen to have the part number of the Wilwood valve you used, would you? I just removed the ABS and installed the CTS-v brake kit up front, and I can't get the brakes to lock up. I've flushed the whole system, replaced the master cylinder and the brake booster, and have bled the...

    New Alpine Halo head unit... perfect for us or clunky garbage?

    https://youtu.be/72Uhil2L5-c I haven't really decided if I like this or not... I like the idea, but part of me thinks it just looks like a clunky afterthought like the screens on the Mercedes c-class. What do you guys think? It could be a decent option without having to hack up the radio...

    I Miss This Place!

    Oh yeah! I didn't get in on the Mike King thing, so I totally forgot about that one. I remember Bubba, everyone changing their avatars to bash him hahaha. I never got into any beefs with anyone on here. Probably cause I'm the first to admit I don't know my asshole from my elbow when it comes...

    stock Typhoon leafs

    I haven't a clue what they'd actually be worth haha... What's your kneejerk price? I'd have to have em shipped though. I'm leaving on vacation for a month, and when I get back I have to give my Audi back as part of the whole "dieselgate" fiasco (there goes my 40mpg). So by the time I drive...

    RADwood Car Show In LA 12/2/2018

    Nice! Hopefully we can get at least a few trucks to show up. Considering the amount of exposure this show is getting now, I think it'd be great to show up and get a lil positive recognition for these trucks and maybe even stir up a lil demand. Too many beat up or rusted out trucks selling online...
