Nasty Plugs Look!



car just dies even if in park from idle to 2k it will die. i read on here it could be cps and i have a extra from a l67 im rebuilding for the car
 
so it starts then stalls like 10 seconds later, sorta like it ran out of gas?

if so thats the hi speed fuel resistor gone bad.
 
ya its kinda like that but then sometimes i can drive it for a bit befor it dies.. gota take my wife to the store ill bbl
 
give this a shot.

replaces that relay or bend out the tab? sorry for being dumbi just wanta make sure and thanks for your time and help
 


bend the tab out like it says in the pic. that bypasses the resistor. if it runs the resistor is bad. most run it like that forever.
 
ok thanks..you need to be careful you know to much for your own good. the mechanics mafia is going to get you.. may want to check for a black van outside your house
 
i started the car today. I let it idle for 5 mins then turned it off.so maybe its good. ill grab another resistor next time im at pick n pull. thanks scotty
 


ya in the engine bay fuse box got it. will bending the tab out and running it like that put added stress on the fuel pump? picknpull has a few gtps in there yard
 
some never fix it. some do. its your call in the end. its just running the pump in hi speed mode full time. dont seem to wear on the pump.
 
Check your vacuum line from your throttle body to your map sensor. Sounds too simple to be true, I know. Replace the crappy plastic ones with rubber. I bet that has something to do with it.
 


On the resistor.. it's the same GP or Regal.

It's this connector


Here's a picture of the whole car

and the wiring goes behind the washer tank


Because GM never thought it would burn up, three bolts hold the tank in place, then one more and the resistor can be removed


However.. the replacement from GM gets bolted to the center top of the firewall. Reality is.. many of us have bent the tab and smiled. Since we have a pressure regulator, that takes care of the issue. A fuel pump hotwire kit runs the pump in high speed all the time. So there's no worries overall of running in high speed mode. My Regal has been that way for 2+ years now.

CPS is Camshaft Position Sensor to be technical. Most here will know you are talking about the CKPS which is the CranKshaft Position Sensor. And yes.. you need to pull the balancer.

Here's the how to with pics.

why not just chop the resistor off and twist the 2 wires together? hotwire kit just gives you a plug with a wire that just loops back to the other wire.
 
my washer bottle is inside the car and the resistor is just floating around. i didnt really know what it was i thought it was a pump for the washer fluid. ohmymy
