FWIW I used an ACDelco O2. Has been working great for over a year. It would be nice if you could pull some timing or run some racing fuel to rule out false KR.

ACDelco o2 is more expensive so thats why i chose Bosch. Ill look into it more. i thought about putting some Racing fuel in there but i have not a clue where to get it.

Plugged fuel filter, you never said if you got it changed out or not.

I have not been able to get it yet.

Used PB Blaster and tried over and over again and the damn bolt or filter wont budge. God i love rust.
 


Re: 1997 Black GTP, I Like KR + Update

Ubend is still intact. 100% stock but intake.

I just figured 7* KR and power loss was a bit scary and had no idea thats normal.

It got my heart racing a tad.
 
Re: 1997 Black GTP, I Like KR + Update

Ill get under the car again and try some upcoming day.

5/8 wrench on the fuel line bolt and use vice grips on the filter bolt and twist the filter you say?

Im open to all ideas to get this b*tch off
 
Re: 1997 Black GTP, I Like KR + Update

I put a line wrench on the fuel line and used slip joint pliers to turn the filter off.
 


Re: 1997 Black GTP, I Like KR + Update

just be gentle yet firm on gettin the fuel filter off. you can do it!

as far as o2 sensors i've always been told delco or denso. i dont have a great opinion of bosch.
 
Re: 1997 Black GTP, I Like KR + Update

Plugged up fuel filter can cause a lot of problems with these engines, just saying. Mine was plugged and the car would fall flat on its face when trying to go WOT.
 
Re: 1997 Black GTP, I Like KR + Update

I ended up using a steel line cutter, you know the ones you spin around it like a million damn times until it cuts through? Then I took the filter, rinsed it out really well, filled it with Argon, and torched it til the nut moved. That was the ONLY way I could get mine off, and believe me, I tried for hours.
I put a male-to-male flare nut fitting between the newly cut ends of the line and installed my new filter.
 
Re: 1997 Black GTP, I Like KR + Update

i suppose ill keep working at it, possibly it will give one of these times.

Anyone know why my tensioner pulley is squeakier than hell?
 


Re: 1997 Black GTP, I Like KR + Update

No im pretty sure thats the tensioner.

Well coing home from School, car took forever to turn over and i as was driving home, i smelled gas through the air vents.

When i got home, i popped the hood, front injectors were fine, but the back middle one was leaking like a b*tch. Removed the rails, took off the injector and sure enough, the o-ring was busted, put on a new one and were good to go.

So josh, i suppose you are right when you said, buy new o-rings.
 


Re: 1997 Black GTP, I Like KR + Update

Squeaky tensioner could be that you have the belt one rib off on the crank. Check it out
