Transmissions / transmission noise at shift points
« on: July 23 2013, 10:55:52 AM »
after starting the car (trans cold) when putting it in gear I would hear a whinning noise, and after it was up to temp. right before a shift I would hear the same noise. So I pulled the pan to change the filter and oil. I found a bolt laying in the pan, I found the place where it came from( as shown in picture) . put everything back together and no noise. Just wanted to post this for someone hear a whinning noise.

A/C, Heating and Cooling / need help with a/c
« on: May 09 2013, 09:07:19 PM »
I just installed a know working compressor in my car, first time putting a/c since I converted to 87 setup. I got everything in and hooked up, started the car to make sure the belt would stay on. turned the car off, key on, a/c switch on and jumped the dryer connector and the compressor does not come on. What would be the next thing to look for? Relay, wiring,

I pulled my spark plugs today and didnt like to looks of them, I know sometimes the oil comes out of the breathers and leaks down on #3 and 6 cyl. so they may have reason to have build up, but they also look like the timing is off. I did not put the valley pan gasket on this engine and it seems to be sending oil thru the pcv valve, when I go open throttle there is always some smoke and when i stop the car for awhile when i restart it throws out some smoke. I have about 1200 miles on this engine and I have had to add 2- 1/2 quarts of oil. Anyway my big concern here is the timing I finally hooked up the power logger and went to collect data, file #5 was a slow rolling start and I think that my foot was getting lazy on the gas petal at the end (tps volts dropped). I would just like someones opinion on the log, Thanks

General Buick Tech / need help with gn
« on: March 26 2013, 06:46:03 PM »
I am trying to help a friend who is working on a GN. so far they have changed module, coil pack, injectors, tt chip, te-60 turbo, ta-headers. the engine seems to idle fine but as soon as you put it under load it has a miss, at one point they pulled the plug wires one at a time while running and the #5 had not change, pulled the plug and cleaned it and it fired on the valve cover so they put it back in. still the same. checked injetor harness with noid light, all were good. i let them use one of my MAF sensors ( at idle 5) , his MAF was jumping between 6-15 at idle. one thing i would like to mention is that he has a digital dash and it is freaking out just numbers on a non stop loop.

General Buick Tech / engine missing
« on: September 05 2012, 07:47:32 PM »
I put in new spark plugs when i change my turbo, I broke my o2 sensor in the process and put an old one in. then went to a car show about 100 miles round trip, on the way there when the car would go into overdrive and lockup the engine was feeling like it had a miss and it was getting worse during the day, at one point on the way back i went WOT and the boost guage stopped at 15psi and was jumping, and now in park with e-brake on, it will not build more than 5 psi and backfiring, so I pulled the plugs and took a picture, looks like all have carbon . all the number are in line on scan master. could the o2 sensor be bad, or something else.

General Buick Tech / intermittant cranking
« on: June 29 2012, 12:23:38 PM »
A friend brought me his car about 1 month ago with a no crank situation, ( lights, fuel pump, etc. came on.). I got under the car and checked to see it there was power at the solenoid at the turn of the key and I could not get a reading and after 2 or 3 tries the car all in a sudden turns over and does not act up for a month, now he is telling me the same thing is happening.
Starter does not drag, and the solenoid sounds like its ok when it was starting. has anyone had intermittant starts with a bad switch?
