No start, then start

No, not really scaled much at all. 60#'ers.

That said, it's possible that the cam sensor wires are sketchy and intermittent and need to be repaired/replaced...but if nobody has tried to do that yet, there's no way they're pinned wrong.

Cleaning and verifying the connection of the pins in the connection near the bottom front of the motor is what made the cam sensor codes disappear after I first started up the motor. Haven't come back since then but I think if I let it crank long enough when it's not starting it may. I need to log cam counts and see if it's incrementing when it's exhibiting this behavior.

[5_Liter_Eater]

Try bumping up your hot cranking spark to 8 degrees. See if that makes it better.

I'll try that. I'll admit I haven't worked much on changing the RAF, startup airflow, and other startup tables since I changed setups. They are not optimal. Kind of waiting until after a HPDE in a few weeks and then I'm going to switch to 1k's and start over with a true 50% scaled tune.

I don't think he's being adamant about not troubleshooting...

"I loctited the cam retainer plate and cam bolts so I'm pretty sure they are not backing out."

The "I can't possibly have done that wrong" attitude is what makes people never solve problems.



Maybe it has something to do with high and low tide.

We're you at TX2K12? Never got to meet any HPT guys except Shane.

I went to a couple of the night meets but not any of the events. Didn't have the car as it wasn't back together then.

bill,

you better hurry up, the next full moon is on may 6th. lol im dropping my trans/diff again. whats the easiest way you did yours?

warning hijack!

- Remove calipers, upper a-arms and lower shock mounts, pop axles out
- Support trans, remove bolts for diff-to-cradle and cradle-to-frame, remove cradle
- Lower trans to be able to get at bolts for TT-bellhousing. Disconnect TT from bellhousing. Start to remove but only enough to get your hand in and remove two 10mm bolts holding the slave to the TT. This is much easier than messing with the slave "quick" disconnect IMO but if you are replacing the slave then you need to do that anyway.
- Remove tt/tranny/diff
- Remove bellhousing

Sounds easy eh? I guess if you're not doing the clutch you could disconnect it at the front of the tranny but I've never done that.

my DSS carbon shaft has a woble to it, TJ @ rpmtransmissions is going to take a look at it for me. shitty part is my tt was fine.

[DSteck]

Pfadt FTW.

[IDRIVEAG8GT]

Sounds like a bit of a Pain In The Ass. :/

This.

[carlrx7]

yep,, decided to just disconnect the brake line and pull it all at once, much easier.



I fixed the runnout on the driveshaft, just rotated the input shaft on the driveshaft,

but bent my shifterlinkage installing the driveshaft loop over it and torqueing it down. fml

Subtle, "I'm a baller with PFADT suspension and carbon driveshaft" post. :P

I'm not sure I follow you on the runout. Sux about the linkage. Think you can bend it back?

[IDRIVEAG8GT]

Nice to see I'm not the only one who does my own work. Way to go Carl!

[DSteck]

I make more in an hour than my installer's labor rate costs me. It's just good business. Lol. It was a different story when I worked for Chrysler for pennies though.



Look at that weak ass base model diff. Pfffft!

[5_Liter_Eater]

needz new rotorz

Lol, no, not really. Compared to mine anyways:

[5_Liter_Eater]

I'm just saying they look like they have a pretty good lip on them. Thats why he disconnected the brakes because he couldn't get the calipers off.

FALSE,

all from an 08 Z06, just no diff(Warmer)

Yea, thats what happens when you race at a track.

they are alot happier now with the line loc installed. lol
