Nice! Flip project?

Part of my exhaust is leaking and I need to replace it. It goes from after the crossover pipe to the catalytic converter. I can't find a part number or any info to get the right part.

Went to LKQ today and pulled off some door panel retainers, trunk torsion bars, trunk carpet, spare tire cover, idle air control valve, and trunk lock cylinder. Also picked up a k&n filter recharger kit.

I'm replacing a side view mirror and I *fook* up every door panel tab and need to order some. Anyone know what the part number is or where I can buy them?

Went to LKQ and picked up a front plate bracket, some screws to hold the cladding on, and a bunch of door panel light housings. Also found a center console cupholder that wasn't broken!

Cleaned the inside out and put all the LKQ stuff on.

I did.

Since then I've cleaned out the throttle body and replaced some vacuum lines that kept falling off. For the past couple weeks the car will run mostly fine now. No more hesitating upon acceleration in either open or closed loop.

Not out of the woods yet though. When letting off the gas pedal ...

Gah I'm about ready to drive this car into the giant shredder at work!!

The P0121 went away, But now it's running just like before just random hesitation and fluttering...

Luckily now I have a good feeling the root problem is something with the tps or what connects to the sensor. Going to clean ...

Turns out I installed the tps wrong lol. It's giving me a signal now. I have a p0121 again, But the car runs fine now except it shifts bad during high throttle which I'm blaming on the sensor or the connection.

Sorry for the quad post...

Found a couple of disconnected vacuum hoses behind the engine while getting the back valve cover gasket done.

It's running ok for right now. However a P0121 and P0122 popped up now for the throttle position sensor. I made a big mistake and tried cleaning it with MAF ...

Going over the car last night I noticed oil around the front valve cover gasket leaking onto the exhaust manifold. Going to redo them and recheck the cylinder 3 and 5 spark plug and the number 5 injector to see if any crud got in there and fouled anything.

Can a leaky valve cover directly cause ...

Went and picked up a scan tool today. I need a little help on the proper numbers for the sensors. What numbers should I be seeing during idle and at say 1500 or 2500 RPM?

Going to record data tomorrow and upload it.

I'll give them a clean and see if that helps any.

I've noticed when it's struggling the RPM gauge will bounce a bit.

Sorry for the double posts....

Trying to eliminate possibilities here. What information does the PCM use when it is in closed loop vs. open loop?

Plugs are brand new. Wires are not new, But I've looked over them and I didn't notice any damage nor any electrical leaks while testing them.

Supercharged.

Tried a different o2 sensor. No changes.

Gave up and took the car to a shop and they pulled a p1571. Which from what I've read is a code for the ABS system. This couldn't cause my issues could it?

Other than this I'm stuck on to do next.

Leaning towards it. From what I've checked the heater might be getting weak.

All I have is my Scangauge and I don't know any codes for the Xgauge feature to get any details on the sensors and whatnot.

How long is he grounded for?
