My entire problem was my 32lb injectors. I have been runnig the 32lber's and with the mail order tune, it was dumping too much fuel. This fugged up my egr and o2 sensors. My plug wires too were burnt by the headers. So, I got a customer wireset, ran wires on top of valve covers, cleaned egr, replaced injectors back to stock, replaced o2 sensors, and dyno tuned. She runs great. Have been driving for 500+miles and no problems.

Sorry to bring up an old post, but I have a question. I don't know a whole lot about tuning, but if i am reading this correctly, you have O2 simulators? Why would you run those on your car? Personally, I would want working sensors on mine, but that's just me...

O2 sims are used on the OBD II cars. Typically, they are used to replace the rear O2 sensors after removing the cats.

I know and understand that, but his car is OBDI. That's why I don't understand why he is running sims. They could be doing more harm than good.

Gotcha, I didn't pay attention to the fact that he has an OBD I car. Hopefully he just chose the wrong wording there, and didn't mean to imply that he has simulators. I agree on the possibly more harm than good statement if he is running two sims on an OBD I application.

Re: Scanmaster: 5 degrees of retard

I too am having problems with split BLMs. I've posted this problem a few times but haven't had any success fixing it. My BLMs are in the low 140s on the left and low 130s on the right. I was having a problem with KR but a thorough rocker readjustment took care of that. Interestingly enough, my BLMs also went up after the readjustment.
