B'fest or bust award goes to....

There is a 94 z that just entered the yard by my work...

Is there a check engine light when running??? If there is, pulling the code(s) is a fantastic place to start and will usually direct you to the problem. Mine used to do this and it turned out to be a bad knock sensor circuit. 12-13 ohms for the injectors mean they are good. Start with the typical ma...

I've never used anti-seize and never had a problem. And these engines WILL blow out a spark plug - been there, done that. I also never have torqued spark plugs but have rather followed installation instructions. I believe with the tapered plug it's seat the taper plus a 1/16th of a turn.

I as well have a cam bearing install tool...shoulda said something Geoff...i would have shipped it down to you for your use.

Still have the aftermarket one...looks just like the OEM but with no brake light.

X2!!!!!!!!

Process of elimination basically. And the ECM will rarely throw a code for a faulty ECM (even though there is one). Best way to tell is if you have another to swap it with. I chased a timing issue and, through process of elimination, determined that the ECM was the culprit. Grab one out of the yard....
