    • hmm
      find a scan tool and make sure the solenoids are getting the command.
      maybe he forgot to plug the solenoids in inside the trans

              • umm, she sounds like a ****ing beast... ..you know, when shes not sounding like the norm for what shes been through at this point.. as referenced from ls1howto.com

                Final Notes:
                - After you have 100 miles on it, its probably good to go change the oil, re-check the coolant level and power steering level, and enjoy!

                - Remember, with stiffer valve springs it becomes more important to make sure your car is fully warmed up before you take it to high rpms, as the springs are more brittle and prone to breaking when cold.

                - If you have a check engine light, use an autotap scanner to pull the codes. A common code at this point is P0300, and may happen from time to time when idling depending on the size of your camshaft.

                - Your car will try to die once you rev it up some and let off. this will make it difficult to drive at first, but after 100-200 miles of city driving it will learn itself out. If it doesn't, programming may be able to fix the issue or you can drill a small hole in your throttlebody blade to let more air in at idle.

                - More valvetrain noise is normal, depending on the ramp rates your new cam has. More agressive cams WILL make the engine sound like a sewing machine, especially when you are inside the car driving with the windows up and radio off. This is normal.

                but no, nobody inside a garage =/ i know a decent bunch of people who work out of their own garage, but nobody who actually works in garage and can use the big time scan tool to check things out.

                      • Kinda know what that feels like except yours runs!
                        If you have a lap top you can get a data log cable and down load a program to let you know whats happing. Brian can give you info on that.

                            i have a good scan tool that will give me the codes, but i doubt my dad will alow me to check your car out.
