• 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.

    FS: HPTuners

    I have an "original" (not the new MPVI 2) standard HPTuners for sale. It is unlocked for the 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix as well as the 2009 Saturn Sky. It does not have any remaining credits since it is opened to both models, not VIN-specific. $400 shipped CONUS, and I will work to accommodate...

    It's Been Fun

    Although not always the best place for help, this site has been a lot of fun since its inception. I sold the GTP a month ago, and tried to bring myself to buy another one...but it just was not in the cards. I got a nicer car out of the deal, and back into a RWD V8 platform. I just wanted to...

    Crank, but no start

    2000 GTP, stopped working randomly today. I replaced the crank and cam position sensors a few months ago. The fuel pump resistor is bypassed. Plenty of fuel in the tank. Well maintained in general. I commute about 35 miles to work, about 45 minutes. Half way to work, 25 minutes or so, the...

    Fuel Pump? Coil Pack?

    The car died on me today. Friday I drove home from work, which is about 30 miles. I pulled up to check my mailbox, and the car stalled out. I tried to start it back up, but all it would do is turn over. I proceeded to push it forward so I could roll it back into the garage. I jumped into...

    Poor times at the track

    I ran last Friday at Mason-Dixon. Mod's are in the signature. The best pull of the night was only 14.1 @ 96MPH. 2.16 60' was not great, but not too bad for FWD and cheap tires. I attached a scan on the HPTuners forum since I cannot upload it here. Hopefully someone can see what is going on...I...

    Actual Timing > Spark Table

    I was scanning on the way to work this morning, tweaking a few things. I noticed that the actual timing was typically several degrees higher than what I have in the spark table. What is influencing this? At "gentle" cruising the timing actually got as high as 50° where the table was only...

    Question for the meth-heads

    Those running meth/water/alky injection, how do you know that it is working? I would have thought that scanning would show the engine going uber-rich at WOT, but it really did not seem any different. It seems like I am topping out at 11-12psi, and I have the controller maxing out at 10psi, how...

    11-12PSI on a 3.1" Pulley?

    So I finally took some time out and start scanning/tuning the GTP again. I have it tuned well enough to be brave and go WOT. I still got a few degrees of knock, but nothing critical and I am still working on the tune. What surprised me was to see the boost gauge pegged at 11-12psi...I would...

    So, I have this Clunker...

    I figure this might light a fire around here...oh, well. :lol: I realized that I had a vehicle that applied to the CARS program: 143k miles, peeling paint, body damage, etc. It has actually been in "insurance worthy" accidents five times under the ownership of my father-in-law, the...

    TCDRacing is my hero

    Parker pulled through with a part no one else could get me, let alone getting it to me quickly...he is my new man-love. :th_laugh-lol3: Thanks again, TDCRacing. If you end up with one more, I will take that one too. :th_thumbsup-wink:

    Windshield Washer not Working

    The windshield washers stopped working. There is fluid in the reservoir. Any ideas?

    Slightly Hanging Rear Right Caliper

    My passenger rear caliper is hanging a bit. I replaced the rear calipers three or four months ago, as that caliper was frozen and had burned through the pads in less then six months. Now I am not certain the caliper was the issue. I bled the brakes thoroughly, and stopping is great. The...

    Help with a Pennsylvania Inspection

    I got my cars registered in PA last week. :cool: Now I am running out of time to do the inspections, as the guy that was going to do all three cars flaked on me. The truck and the wife's car I am not really concerned about. However, my car is catalytic and smog-pump free, which fails the...

    Tips on Removing Brake Lines

    I started the F-Body upgrade today. The SS lines are supposed to be here tomorrow, and that is all I have left to do. However three of the four stock brake lines did not want to come off. The front driver side line I had to disconnect from the distribution block under the hood. The two rear...

    Opinions on my MAF Tuning

    I think after a few tries I got the MAF frequency dialed in pretty well. I reset and turned off fuel trim learning, so LTFT stayed at zero so I could base my tuning strictly off of STFT. What do you think? 3800Pro.com Forum
