My wideband has always been wacky since the day it rolled off the dyno. IDK, but that is why Jer has my car. He's the expert, not me. Wow, funny how you have no idea who i am and what I am capable of and balls that people have staring at a PC.

He already said my PTU went bad, and timing. Said the car is runnning great but seems to be running out of fuel. I just put in the wally 400lph E85 pump which On Chris hills site says not to use unless u have 500+ hp. So, if I dont have enough pump why would that be stated on the description? I am just frustrated because I went with that pump for a reason. Either way, I have my guru working on it. We will see what is going on. Gonna pressure test and check my boost controller. wont go past 20 psi and falls off hard

Extreme yes but I'm conservatively recommending you don't get in over your head is all. I've seen the multiple engine rebuilds, transmission rebuilds, countless turbos you've gone through, and multiple shop horror stories. I applaud you for sticking with it because you've been to hell and back which is another reason why I merely suggested leaving it to an expert since you don't deserve anything less. It's obvious you don't feel comfortable tuning since you went with an AEM and have had a few AEM certified tuners has things out for you. The car will cost more money no doubt so at least look at that spending less time working on your car means more time with your wife and kids. Money is replaceable and can essentially be worth nothing. A family can't be replacing with anything identical. They could be gone the very next day. I know Jeremy will get all the issues sorted out and the car will run like a raped ape.

Yes, I know the black bumper trim needs to be touched up; all of the trim does.

A heat gun will fix the black part if it is factory, and not paint. Be conservative next to the paint, but it will make it brand new...

Will work like Coop said but be careful with the heat gun. If you heat and form you have to get it twice as hot every time you re-heat to re-shape it. 50°c / 100°c / 200°c / 400°c and etc.

well, jer i guess im stuck. i know the car had issues but i had no idea the issues were that bad until now. I didnt know u worked on it that much. if thats all you can do then i will just get a trailer and bring it home. i dont want you working for free by no means. and $300 is not chump change btw. Thats alot of money. If it will be more then let me know, stop and ill pick it up and throw it in the garage at home. no need to spend more money that i dont have. You said $300-$500, not $500 flat, and was hoping it wouldve been an easier fix. guess not. No worries. You gotta do what you gotta do bro. Let me know and ill come get it when im off next sunday. Again Jer, I understand, nothing but love. Just not able to drop more money right now. I wear the pants, but my wife tells me which ones.

why does it seem like some people just can't afford their cars?

I understand your position but it's a slap in the face to me seeing how I put a $250 wideband in your car (because the piece of shit one you have in there doesn't even work) and I also paid $80 for an hour of dyno time... you gave me $300. Don't come cryin to me about money and yada yada. I don't give a shit cause I did this shit for free yo!

Your car... don't need to tow it. It runs great.

3/S maint reality check time... buy spark plugs and wires, 5 quarts of synthetic oil, an oil filter, and a tank of gas... $300 Gone!

y is my aem wideband a piece of shit? I bought it brand new and its not hard to install. either way, i didnt ask you to install a new one in my car. you can take it out after u r done and put mine back in. i will get a new one when i can afford it. $250 back off the books and no slaps needed lol. I dont need to have the wideband right now to drive it home if you have the car in tip top running shape right? i can log off my laptop and watch the wideband there. I didnt know u were putting it on teh dyno either

you said the ignition lead wire was missing? I had to solder it back on and i know it was there and is connected with a spade connector.

Jer, i love you man. I dont want anything for free. If i was close to you I would be helping anytime i could with your cars and it sucks i live so far away. after seeing your post about the wiring for th efuel pump in tank i know mine is scarey in comparison. I will have to shrink wrap evrything and just go wiht the single 400 pump and take out he other 255 in there. i think i will have to do that after i get it home.
