Oh sorry about that guys, I know that was short.....here we go


Well I took it by one of the local shops today, I hear the guy is good with LT1's. I had 4 codes come up. 1= manifold air temp 2=mass airflow failure 3=Eas electrical fault 4=throttle position sensor.

Yeah all that. I know I have a manifold gasket leak, and probally a bad plug. The guy said, that my Vacum pump wasn't working.

We cleared out all the codes and he said fix the miss fire, and the manifold, and bring it back.

I know I also have a few vacum leaks around the intake. I have a K+n on it and where it connects to the MAF is kinda crappy!

Oh and another thing. I had to replace my bellow, it was all ripped up, so he said that might have set off some of those sensors, so now that we cleared them out, they might not come back on.

What do you guys think. This is all new to me. I am learning more everyday though.

It would help to know what the car is doing like symptoms. It sounds like those things are about right tho. TPS sensor would be one to fix for sure. Let us know a little more like how does it drive and if you had to describe the problem what would it be. The codes are def an excellent start and im sure all those things will fix a major part of your problem if not all of it.

yeah I am going to fix that stuff this week, I think a missfiring plug is my biggest thing. I will fix that and put it back on the computer and see what happens. I will keep you guys updated!!! Thanks

What year is the vehicle? I'm here in St. Pete not very far from Tampa and know a thing or two about LT1's. I also have a scanner for 93-94's.
