  • Code 16 - I've seen people say its low system voltage, some say high voltage, 94-95 LT1 means low resolution opti error.
    Code 21 - Did you adjust your TPS to read .54v (or close to it?)
    Code 25 - Shorted sensor or the reference wire and ECM signal wire are touching

        • Sanded down my first coat of repair



          Applied a second coat and sanded that down



          Applied some glaze



          Sanded that down



          Just applied a second coat of glaze and I'm about to sand that down. I might need to do one more. I'm going to take it home and test fit it before I prime and paint.

          • Put another light coat of glaze on to get all of the pinholes out.

            Sanded the rest down and let the primer fly! Wednesday I'll sand it all down an reprint it before paint.

              • Just thought youd like to know your car was one of the reasons i decided to change to BMR front springs. Youve got the perfect stance IMO!

                • Thanks Joel, I was hoping it was going to be a bit lower but it's better over stock. Here is probably the best side shot I have. I'll be pm'ing you here in a few regarding LCA's.



                  Got the gauge pod test fitted. Fits like a glove







                  What kind of fitting do I need here? And where can I get one? (it's the fuel pressure sensor)

                      Sensor looks like 1/4" NPT. I used a 1/4" AN fitting on my Bel Air (remove schrader valve first)

                      Female 1/4" NPT to female 1/4" AN adapter should get you hooked up.

                      EDIT: Not sure why I was thinking 1/8"

                        Guy on tech said the schrader valve is a -4an?

                        I started it today, it wouldn't stay running unless I was pressing the gas, then all of a sudden it was fine. Think that was related to my tps code?

                        They list various female connectors at bottom

                          Yup, -4 AN = 1/4"

                          AN starts from -2 (reads "dash two", -2 is 1/8" ) to -32 in steps, with each step equating to the OD (outside diameter) of the tubing in 1/16" increments.

                          And I'm not sure why I was thinking 1/8", they are 1/4"

                            • Bingo!

                              If I remember right, the port has a SAE flare (45*) but the 37* AN flare will seal just fine. I used AN on mine
