    Hi from Finland

    I'm going to polish the paint and add new decals later on. Also have Sportmachines catback exhaust waiting for an inspiration. But other than that it's ready for the road. Note the poor man's roof rack delete!

    Hi from Finland

    Well, 6 years went like *that*. I daily drove the Ty a bit more than I wanted - my wife got always 1-2 months more at the place she worked and needed our other car and I was like "ok, I can drive the Ty yet another couple of months. Some 2 years an 20 000 km (13 k miles) in total. Not that I...

    where to find AC delco stock cd player?

    My Ty's stock CD player is inoperative. Took it to a shop that repairs old car stereos but they told me that the CD unit is beyond repair. They suggested that there might be other same era GM palyers that you could use the CD unit from. So my questions are: - Are there other GM/AC Delco...

    Upper intake manifold color code?

    Re: Upper intake manifold color code? Mine was painted, I thought it was original. It sat so tight I couldn't get all off with soda blasting. Only the machined surfaces were on bare aluminium. Same color is in the intercooler housing.The lower intake manifold is on bare aluminium and has much...

    SOLD - 1993 Black/Argent Typhoon

    Re: FS - 1993 Black/Argent Typhoon Re: FS - 1993 Black/Argent Typhoon Looks great, too bad I already have one... Good luck with the sales, shouldn't be too hard by the looks of it. BTW, what are the other wheels? They look spot on and a bit different from everything else.

    Shaky idle

    Re: Shaky idle Did a pressure leak test yesterday and found a leak after all. It was between #3 and 5 injectors and behind MAP sensor, pipes, hoses and whatnot, so the brake cleaner probably didn't reach it in earlier tests. Pretty convinced that's the main and root cause for the problems, but...

    Shaky idle

    Re: Shaky idle I guess it may have something to do with the ECM. I assume it has a stock chip, since everything else on the truck is stock, but can't be sure. Can it be checked otherwise than opening the ecm?

    Shaky idle

    Re: Shaky idle If that was the problem, it would have been solved by changing the distributor, which I did. Right? Well, I guess the jumpy tachometer needle might be a result of what you just said. But anyway still runs badly.

    Shaky idle

    Re: Shaky idle Still struggling with this. When idling or revving standing still, below 2500 rpm it shakes and runs like crap. Over 2500 rpm runs fine. Under load (1/3 throttle or more) runs good if not great. Twice I've run it for 15 miles (from home to work) w/o any problems, but then the...

    WTB: Oil filter pipes & hoses

    New, NOS or rebuild. Where could I get one? e: They do have them at Rockauto. "Oil cooler" heading fooled me.

    Hi from Finland

    Re: Hi from Finland Thanks. Already drove som 6 k miles with almost no problems, but now I've been struggling with a poor running engine for a while. I'm going to dd it until the end of the year, after that I'm planning to restore it - not nuts & bolts resto, but bit by bit towards better...

    Shaky idle

    Re: Shaky idle I've already changed the pick-up coil, IC module, rotor and cap. And checked for clearances. What else could be wrong in the distributor? Next I'm going to change better quality spark plug wires, AC Delco plugs and MAP.

    Shaky idle

    Re: Shaky idle ^Yes, thank you. Actually I just found the same info myself. I thought that the numbers on the MAP are from the GM part number, but apparently not.

    Shaky idle

    Re: Shaky idle I'm planning to order a new MAP sensor, but which one is the right one: https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/gmc,1993,typhoon,4.3l+v6+turbocharged,1164451,fuel/air,manifold+pressure+(map)+sensor,11207?a=Referer+www.google.fi+URL+%2F This gives 2 Bar: GM #16009886 old 3 Bar: GM...

    Shaky idle

    Re: Shaky idle I don't have a adjustable timing light, but I'd say it has 20ish degrees advance with the wire plugged. The Protuner data tells the same story, here's Spar adv. rel. to TDC and ref pulse curves from the pull that I did.
