    Moar Pics

    I'm over 50 (just!) and I think the car and the wheels are just stunning. No, stunning doesn't justify it. Wish I could think of the right word,...........piggin' gorgeous...........will that do? You have my utmost admiration sir! Andy.

    Scope waveforms

    Had a PO340 code today! Camshaft position sensor circuit failure. Cleared the code and unplugged the sensor and plugged it back in. Not reoccured and drives well. Decided to scope it to have a look at the signal. Blue line is the signal line and the just visible red line is the signal...

    Short term condition

    Can't you guys get the injectors and coils scoped and stop all the guesses? Anyone locally to you who could do it? Post the waveforms if you can. Andy.

    Code P171 P174

    Can you get the short term and long term fuel trim at idle and see how it changes through the rev range? Andy.

    Scope waveforms

    Setting up the pico for a TPS voltage check. So, here's the voltage at the signal wire to the PCM from the TPS. I made 2 full throttle openings from under the hood by hand (which is why the ramps are not smooth) and held them there for a second or so, then let it go. Notice...

    Scope waveforms

    Here we have a waveform at the battery with engine at idle Heres the voltage waveform at the IAC (idle air control valve) with engine at idle and no electrical load Here it is with AC and lights on Since this is a pull down circuit, the low bit on the steeped waveform is the on...

    97 headlight fogging up

    hi J. What did you use to stick the lens back on? If mine looks half as good as yours, I'll be happy. Andy.

    Scope waveforms

    Hi Guys. I would like to start a thread of good mark 8 scope waveforms. They are a superb, unbeatable diagnostic tool as long as you can find somebody to do it!! If anyone and everyone could add to these it would be good. Anyway, heres a waveform of one of my primary ignition coils...

    97 headlight fogging up

    Got fed up of pass headlight fogging up and producing condensation, and couldn't find the leak, so I smoke tested it. Heres a link to youtube of the smoke pouring out of the join where the lens is glued. Amazed the hell out of me! smoking mark 8 headlight - YouTube Duct taped it up...

    Erratic fuel gauge

    Hi 99interceptor. Thats the diagram I have drawn in a simpler version above! Thanks anyway. Since I am in the UK i need to be absolutely 100% sure of the faulty component because 1) of the expense of shipping in a new part, and 2) my Wife would kill me:( I need to do some more circuit...

    Erratic fuel gauge

    Thanks for reply NoLimit95. Code was generated by myself disconnecting sender wire. Not concerned about that. So all the meanings of that code are irrelevant. The FLI V pid and FLI pid seem to match when I test. yes, gage could be at fault, but it would be nice to be able to understand...

    Erratic fuel gauge

    hi all. i've been hunting down an erratic fuel gauge reading (one day reading 1/4, next 3/4 etc) and have already changed the fuel tank sending unit as part of a fuel tank restoration, but the problem continues. I have used the NGS tester to command the gauge and this is what I got 10%...

    fuel tank and sender fun time!

    Car successfully fired up today and the fuel gauge looks like its working okay! Time will tell though. Here's 3 photos of the inner workings of the sender unit showing the wiper on the track. Both look well worn. Andy.

    Anyone got a rear brake pad carrier?..Beg!!

    Hi again guys. I'm assuming I have to look elsewhere for this part then? No word. Would someone just tell me the state of play? I don't mind if its not possible to send the part, but I need to find it somewhere else if thats the case. Cars not moved since december so need a decision on this...

    fuel tank and sender fun time!

    Hi all. Almost embarassing this, but I've bust a fuel line clip and can't find a replacement! Here it is! Yes I could fab a new one but would rather use the proper one! Its from here.... In the meantime I'm going to put the old one back and heat shrink sleeve around it...

    fuel tank and sender fun time!

    Fuel tank back in today, but not before I rustproofed inside the frame rails and then heated all the steel up with a hot air gun to make it flow through all the seams. These 2 floorpan seams are very rust prone so they got covered! On the left hand inner rocker lip is a spot welded...

    fuel tank and sender fun time!

    Hi slowmkviii The camaro is gone:eek: Sold, and in a museum in our deep south! Well, near the south coast anyway. 15 years to build, one of the top show cars in the UK and what do I do? Sell it:rolleyes: I love the build-after that its downhill!! So here we are now, a garage full of a BIG...

    Yeah! Got to take some risks sometimes though. I need a working fuel gauge!! fuel tank continued............. Into the shed for the top half to be painted with silver epoxy 2 pack paint Here's the rusty fuel filler pipe undergoing clean up and here they are again after 3...
