Well, I was going to install new fuel pump, fuel injectors, and lower control arm bushings this weekend, but once I attempted to do this, I found out that I cannot do it! I do not want to drive an LT1 F-body car anymore. Anybody who wants a nice car with all the parts to fix the problems for $3,000, e-mail me at sportsfanjdh@cs.com. The car is a 1994 Pontiac Trans Am GT. Drop me an e-mail for details.

 

um, ok. Are you asking us to help you fix it? Because you can... just ask.

Or are you trying to sell it.... If you are post in the right section...

We all have problems from time to time with our cars. It happens. You bought a high maintenance car. Get Over It or Sell It.

 

I'm trying to sell it, and it is posted in the Cars/ Parts For Sale section! I can't deal with trying to fix this car anymore!

 

 

Thanks for your sympathy joe! You really helped ne out!

 

What do you want?Sympathy or advice?You wont get much for a car with problems.

 

What is so hard that you can't install those parts you mentioned?

 

If you want to rant, rant in the lounge...

Don't come here saying you don't like and do not want to drive an LT1 F-Body car anymore and expect us to care.

You will not find another modern engine respected as much as the LT1. They are cheap to mod. Produce great results and are very reliable. Go buy a civic!

 

Why don't you buy a civic, I am just trying to make a point, don't rag on me!

 

whats your point?

 

You can fix it if you try. Just post your questions/problems up here. Getting discouraged and whiny and pissed are not the ways to get anything done. If you want to do it, lay your inhibitions aside, forget how much you hate fixing it, pull the fuel tank or cut the hole and fix it. It isn't that hard. There was once a man named Can't. He never could do anything.

You'll get more for the car if you fix it, you'll learn from fixing it (as horrid as that may sound), you'll feel good that you did it yourself once it's done, and you may even decide you like driving the car after you do it.

I know plenty of people who would love to have a T/A. If that was all they had to do to keep one I'm sure they would tear right into it. There are good instructions all over this site, and posts about the fuel pump, and you might even find some instructions on Shoebox's site.

Anyways, either fix it or sell it, but no one wants to hear whining.
Abandoning a project like a fuel pump swap will, or should haunt you for the rest of your life. You may grow to be an old man, and be like, gosh, I wish I still had that car, but I was too much of a wuss to try to replace the fuel pump and injectors.

Not trying to flame, but if the fear of fixing it is the only reason you want to get rid of one of the best performing musclecars in history, one that is no longer even made, then you need to get your head checked.

Either step up and do it, pay someone else to do it, or sell it and wish you never had. When you get something high performance, you generally have to put some effort into maintaining it. If you were afraid of that, you shouldn't have gotten the car in the first place, and after you get rid of it, if you do, if you get another f-body, it'll be the same thing. If you get something else that even comes close to f-body performance, that will be the same deal too. Either get a somewhat non-performer that you don't have to maintain, or deal with it and get over the maintainance.

If you want help post it, or if you want to whine go to the lounge.

 

as arnold would say "stop whining"

go get a disconnect to and disconnect the fuel lines... then take off the 4 bolts onthe fuel rail.... take a screw driver and remove the clips and change your injectos.... its a 20 mins job if your up for it....

bushings are a bitch... you need a air impact or 2 guys wrenching on the bolts, thats up to you but its not hard enough to give up!!!!

and as for the fuel pump... take out teh back seat and remove the carpet... cut a square hole and remove the stupid pump!!!


i've done all of this on a cold michigan floor many times!!!!

 

newbie wars

:Popcorninthemicrowave:

 

Thanks for all the advice, I tried to drop the tank to do the fuel pump, but to no avail, and i need the tool to disconnect the fuel lines to take the fuel injectors out, as for the lower control arm bushings, I haven't even attempted to get into that yet!

 

You don't need a fuel rail disconnect tool. Unbolt the 4 bolts on top and pull the fuel rail off.
