Uh no. I'm not in the points racing yet. But thanks for reminding me... I still have to renew my number before Feb 8th.

DANGIT Ron,

You waited so long to get the scanning software that there is so much wrong that now even the computer can't keep track of them all!

So there is only one thing to do! Start replacing random parts until the conputer can start setting SES light again.

1) replace cam, lifter, valve springs and rocker arms.

2) replace torque convertor

3) replace throttle body

If the car still doesn't throw a code, we've have to pull and port the heads!

Sorry, but that's what happens when you keep drive a car with the SES light on.

I hope you learn from this!!!!!!!!!1

Bahahahahahahaha.... rotflmao....

That was good and most appropriate response.

Well I'll start with number 1. The Projectz28-97TA project was being discussed this very weekend. Looks like the cam is a go. I'll get new springs. We're still figuring out the rockers.

Considering that most of the stuff on the front of the block has to be removed, that should hopefully increase the likelihood that there will be codes thrown. I'm optimistic that my SES will be back after that surgery...

Re: SES lamp went out...WTF???? (post of stupidity...)

Ooohhh, ooohhh, ooohhh, can I watch? I'm still recovering from doing my longtube headers(did I tell you guys the story about the Astro Van transmission in my car?) and I ran into a few snags. I'm pretty sore still, but I think I can lift a beer to celebrate every bolt that gets taken off!

Oh, and Ron, I just changed out my O2 sensors so I could bring over the old ones if you're still looking to turn that SES light back on!

Hey, I have a pair of burned o2 sensor wire harnesses to go with them.

Re: SES lamp went out...WTF???? (post of stupidity...)

Bahahahahaha.... roflmao... I should know better than read these posts at work. If we had post this in the "LT1" tech area, injuneer Fred and Shoebox would be freakin'. Bahahahaha.


Bri... I think it's funnier when someone asks me what Mods have I done and I can reply "96 red camaro Z mod with a 97 Trans Am interior, exterior, blacken and cleaned...."

Jeff... the old O2 sensor would be great. I'll just sand the ends so that they are nice and sparkly...

Jim... no problem. I have duct tape and speaker wire.

Re: SES lamp went out...WTF???? (post of stupidity...)

Yeah thats pretty funny... but I have a true gem for your SES. I just pulled the O2's from my headers and they are both fouled from running leaded fuel thru the car. What can I say, I was at the track and almost out of fuel and still going rounds... had to do it. I got O2 sensor faults all over the ecm, lol!
