ok guys need some help, i just changed my thermostat, just simple remove hose, remove housing and thermostat, replace, add coolant, start car and it was fine all of a sudden i walk back to check it out and my gauge cluster isnt working, the temp, rpm, and speed are off, so i turned the car off and put the key to the on position, the only light that turned on was the battery light, what could it be guys?

 

^^^ a classic DA "WTF?!?!"

 

seriously, i cant even signal or anything, i dont think i messed up and wiring because i didnt touch anything just move the harness out of the way a bit just to unbolt the housing, i really dont know wtf is wrong

hmm could it be a gound issue

 

yeah, i just drove and the speedo does work, everything else doesnt though, i didnt touch or move any wires so i dont know how that could happen, i think my friends are going to check it out tomorrow, i guess just for now its shifting by sound, and using the lap belts lol, gotta guess how much gas i have which is going to be interesting

 

She is still a work in progress.. I have some old as sin SSR's on her now rocking the monster truck look. Any suggestions on a color to paint her???

 

hey peeps, i recently got a CEL code 6..witch is crank angle sensor...now my car has started bogging alot out of 1 and 2nd..also on cold starts it takes 3-6 tries just to start the car...is this because the CEL?? any help?

 

what part of nc are you in

 

LoL, can I say told you so?

Ground! There is ground on the housing. did you knock it off?

Search for it, Google it.

 

naw i didnt knock the ground off but ill maybe take it off and clean it and put it back on, would the ground on the thermo housing affect the gauge cluster though

 

Asheville area...

 

every ground on the engine can have an affect on the guage cluster.

 

When that ground does not have enough contact or is not connected...the car will run completely fine...but you will not be able to rev past 3k...it will sort of governor out I would say...Also, when I had this problem everything on the gauge cluster worked (RPM, speedo, etc) and the CEL was on obviously

 

yea i was gonna say get some sand paper and scrub the area a lil bit

 

i never said i wouldnt get tuner 2 but the tuner 1 is what i have and funds are low plus i didnt know if the tuner 2 would be ok with my portflow springs and itr retainers but if i can sell my cams i may get a new set of tuner 2

 

how much you want for the stg1s? any pics? i can get you some BNIB pro2's

 

yeah i'll try removing the ground and cleaning it, but i really dont think that is the problem because the drives and does everything just like normal (no rev limit at 3k) just the gauge cluster (besides the speedo) doesnt work and the signals and seatbelts

 

check fuses. maybe it just randomly blew and was of no relation to doing the thermostat

 

yeah because i started it up and everything was fine, i walked back and filled up the radiator some more, came back to check on the temperature, and everything was off, if it was something i did wrong, it would have probably shown right when i first started it up, this just happened randomly

 

nah i really dont want pro series cam i rather get the tuner 2 but id like to get 300 for the tuner 1

 

my friend offered me some blox cams, not sure which model but he said that they dont require tuning or other modifications to the head, $180 installed, so tempting

 

that's pretty tempting i want some more power, but right now i need to get my ac climate control bs fixed. I hope my shop knows how to fix it. once i get that settled going to drive like 150 miles to pick up a red hood than maybe get my windows tinted and i'll be ready for summer.

btw duma hows your paint holding up? i was planning on giving myself a maaco paint job as a graduation gift to myself since im broke

 

Blox A's don't require any valvetrain upgrades.

 

Collected colonies of bugs during my 2 hour drive to Buttonwillow Saturday night for a track day Sunday. IDK if anybody has driven inbetween farm fields at night, but your lights attract bugs that fly across the fields and you see these white specks just fly into your lights... lol.

My window was getting so bad it was starting to affect my vision towards the end of the trip.



Hopefully the photographers caught some good ones of me flying across the curbs
