Re: 1997 Black GTP, Tune Up Almost Finished.

BBV is so damn expensive...

You can see the vacuum prong broke off my original BBV and i tried to seal it with black silicon, but i had a feeling that didnt work out so well. So i replaced it in general with a new Vac line. The two bolts are a b*tch to get and i couldnt screw the right one all the way in cause i lost my damn socket somewhere -_-

Original, tried to seal it:

How much was it if you dont mind me asking, I might just pick up a new one for my GenV
 
Re: 1997 Black GTP, Tune Up Almost Finished.

LOL You paid $40 for that? who helped you at ZZP? you got double charged. I walked in and gave Steve a $20 and got a new one.
 


Re: 1997 Black GTP, Tune Up Almost Finished.

Not sure. I'm switching the coil packs around today, then getting the car rescanned, so I'll find out later.
 
Re: 1997 Black GTP, Tune Up Almost Finished.

Switched the coils around this morning. Re-scanned the car got 3 codes back.

P0306: Misfire cylinder 6 still
P1133: Heated o2 Sensor - Bank 1 Sensor 1. o2 Sensor Wire Short
P0131: o2 Sensor Defective - Low Voltage

So coil packs are fine, plugs and wires are good. Narrowed it down to the ICM but i think its more than likely a bad injector - which is causing the misfire and then creating my car to run lean due to the low fuel pressure in cylinder 6? Thats my theory.

I think all three codes are linked to a faulty injector.

Anyone know if Autozone carries a single stock injector? I dont feel like spending $100+ on a set of 6 when only one is bad.
 


They are really easy, just make sure you clean the dirt from around each injector or else it is going straight into your intake runner.

I know how to remove fuel rails. 5 bolts and unhook injector clips, then they pull right up. Injectors just pull right off the fuel rails?
 
Re: 1997 Black GTP, Tune Up Almost Finished.

theres a clip holding the injector to the rail. pull clip, pull the injector out. un hook all the plugs (wires) to the injectors too.
 


I am wondering if that new O2 sensor you got was the right one... Didn't it look different then the one you took out??

C5 Corvette sensors are uber short and they work just fine...but we spliced ours in, it didn't plug in IIRC.
