General Buick Tech / chip question
« on: August 14 2023, 01:59:12 PM »
Helping a guy that just picked up a car. Has stock set up now. I have a TT chip for 37 LB injectors, 15 lb boost 92 octane. If we use that chip, I think he has 60 lb injectors, will it work or will it be way to rich when just driving around with no boost.

Want to put dual fans in car, read that these fit. Anyone try them? If so did you need to rig up additional wiring and relays? You can get a "Buick" set up for $269 but you can get Intrepid fans from Rock auto for $99.

If your on this board you probably work on your stuff and can relate. Literally everything I have done with this car has been a real pain in the ass. And we have done ALOT. Latest thing, now that it is driving pretty well, we wanted the stereo installed. got some speakers and a factory concert sound unit. Power antena was shot so did a cable rebuild and discovered that the motor would only move it up but not back down, pulled it again to put in a new unit. Anyone that has replaced this knows how much fun it is to get to, so repeating that process was big grins. Get that working and discover the signal cable has a short in the connector, cut that out and spliced it back together. That problem solved, so now we find the factory wire to the drivers door speaker has a short so run new wire for that. Finally think were in business and now randomly, any radio frequency above about 100 and it will cut out and squeal, and then randomly come back. Its not the antena cable issue cause the lower channels work great.  A simple job that in most cases would have been a few hour install has been a month long ordeal......an d its still not working correctly..... .rant over

General Buick Tech / cruise control
« on: September 09 2022, 12:23:35 PM »
When I set the cruise it is "surgey" I have a direct line from vacume block to a y that goes to the ball and cruise unit. Should there be a check valve in that line? wouldnt think that would cause a surge as its in vacume, not boost. The speedo needle is not smooth, waves around a bit, maybe a 5mph swing cause the cable probably needs to be lubed but its a bitch to get to.

any help?

Its the only thing in the loop that isnt brand new, I think I'm just going to get one. Amazon and Summit both have them for $160. If this one is original its got 150,000 miles on it.

Tested coil when hot, 13.5 on all 3. put old wires on car, gets worse. put new wires back and put in new plugs, still there but very slight.  Swapped coil, module and wires over from my car, goes away.  At this pont I think its the ingnition module but I dont want to seperate coil/module from the one from my car just to see. Any way to test these modules? Dont feel like spending another $200 I dont need to
