the pic that says all cleaned up....your sig pic on right. Like to see it blown up. I am questioning whether the two vaccum lines going to the evap are on correctly, perhaps whent he guy did the plenum he reversed them?
No codes, runability....fine now...

once again you guys are AWESOME. its called a evap vent solenoid? i did actually check that. Pulled both vaccum hoses off and could hear loud vaccum....re installed and ok....how do you test them aside from a smoke machine?\Or just replace? woner what they are worth,too late to call jobber.
Thanks ...

couldnt find any vaccum leaks, cant find the evap solenoid under the hood as mentioned above, no real rust on fuel filler neck but sanded it and siliconed fuel cap anyway. She drove it home, ran fine and light didnt come one so maybe it was a fluke?

thought so, fair easy to change. Still need a pic for the evap
You guys are the best btw

thank you very much for the reply. Where approx is the evap vent solenoid? Pic?
why would they both come on same time with no codes prior?coincidence?
replace rear 02 sensor?
again thank you-rear 02 os post car correct?

Wifes calls me from side of road, said engine light on. I explain how to plug in scanner-code reader
Tells me Code P0446 and P1441
Evap Vent Solenoid Valve Control System P0440
Heater Control Circuit Bank 1-Sensor 2 P1141

Prior to ...

HUH????

wait till I tell the mechanic who did the plenum that it now cost me a harmonic balancer!!!
I know we are human and sh*t happens...but hot *dang*, they are not cheap!
I can now sell with confidence! any noise or rattle irritates the crap outa me. gotta be done right or not at all

Had wife check PCV and low and behold the o ring was missing from the pcv valve. Had one and she installed it and I guess with some kms we will soon find out but for now she is as quiet as a kitten sleeping!!! Woot Woot

gonna get wife to do it, my back is out. cant even stand verticle. I got tools, a shop, and she has will to learn!
Someone suggested to me crank seal but i have no leaks and its not even sweating....
I am eager to repair this as she wants to sell it and I refuse to sell any car with any issues. I ...

sure ill give that a try for sure....may I ask what the o ring would cause to give such a high pitch squeel? and thank you by the way....hope its the fix? noise driving my nukin futs!

Here is a stumper for anyone!
Wifes got a 97 Pontiac Bonneville. 3.8 non supercharged engine
In the last month, we had it hydrolock because of the lower intake gasket and plenum. I have since replaced the lower intake gasket, upper plenum, tune up,and rebuilt the transmission,done the water pump ...

a car is worth what someone is willing to pay for it. You have a seller, and you have a buyer, price agreed, sold.
Regardless of what some generally sell for. I have paid really good money for cars and got 10x the car as opposed to buying market value and buying a turd. I always gladly pay the price ...

had my 97 boney sold 1.5 wks ago for $4300 as is. wife and i argued repeatedly on what to buy so I said Fug it we keep it. 2 days later. lower intake gasket sucked coolant in....now $800 later it has new upper plenum, low intake gaskets,irridium plugs, new dex cool,wires,oil change......shoulda ...

I found this one, the 94 Impala SS. On motorweek. Bad video but says 15.6 E.T. from motorweek.

remember they are 4200lbs.
They did one on John Moss version with a 6 speed and some goodies

You could very well be right. I would say 75% is driver and the other is the car. Give 10 people the same car. Everyone will cut a different ET. Also a good track makes a difference. Weather etc are all factors. If i broke a 14, id actually be quite happy.
And sorry about the thread change. I ...
