• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

Hello everyone I have been reading posts from this forum for a little over a year and i finally decided i should just join the forum since this one seems to be the best out there for 3800 vehicles. I have owned my 02 gtp for almost two years and it has never treated me wrong thus far. the information here has helped me with minor problems i.e swaybar and helped me troubleshoot a few problems that saved me hundreds.
 


my cars nothing special just white two door been working on a bunch of stuff like swapping various interior parts to bring it back to original glory. also during the week i'm going to port and polish supercharger housing and change gaskets while down in there. does anyone know if its a good idea to try to use a dremel in the TB to port it out or should i just buy one that has been ported to save the headache of if I f@#$ it up?
 
Well if you fuvk up then you can buy a new ported one but why not go for broke and learn. How to do something like that I would if I wasn't selling my Gxp and had money for another tb if I fuvked up

Just kidding, thank god some people can actually read like you instead of asking for **** that has been answered like 500 times.
 
I think I may fall over!!! I think he needs to be a instant Gxp member!!! What ever the difference between Se Gxp and gtx is lol
 


You guys just normally deal with idiots that can't read apparently. I just got into changing my lower intake manifold which is awesome. I didn't finish yet but hopefully ill be done in the morning.
 
I finished up with all the gaskets and when I cranked it I found out my rear valve cover was leaking cause my gasket wasn't seated properly. Also my vacuum line on my by pass valve is broken and I can't find one anywhere does anyone no where I can find the little u shaped vacuum line? Does gm carry that? Or do I have to find one at a junkyard. Also when I cranked her up it was idling around 1500 rpms does anyone know why it would do that? Would it be cause from the vacuum line being loose or is it from the valve cover gasket being loose? Or could it be something else?
 
A vacuum leak can cause the weird engine idle.

The u-shaped vacuum line part is likely a dealership item, but just get some vacuum hose and make one because thats cheaper.

Doulbe check that everything is plugged in and where it should be. And don't forget to do an oil change right after you get the car running, you don't want to go far on that oil as is might have coolant in it.
 


Yea I tried making a vacuum line to fit but it failed right away I'm just going to go to dealer. I dumped the oil and coolant right away but thanks for the reminder.
 
I figured it out it was the darn EGR was leaking I tightened it down real good and that fixed the hard idling but its still leaking a tad bit though so I think I'm going to put a little rtv around it to stop the leaking until I break it down again.
