also i got engine code p0205 and p0305


injector problem and misfire cylider number 5, i am guessing both codes are caused buy a fauly injector i cheaked the volt at the injectors and they were all the same so i think the injector itself is bad. what can i do to make sure its the injector and not something else and wheres a good place to get another one. or good web site to get 8 new ones some perfomance ones or somthing i plain to keep that car and build it up.


thanks for you help
 


get the coupler from the second link... buck 3800 v6 and as far as injectors go... it definitely sounds like thats thats the issue... but just make sure you get 6 (unless you said 8 to have extra?) flowmatched injectors, but i would get the stock replacements unless you have the ability to tune for different flowing injectors. if so, cobra injectors work great and can be found cheap.
 
178,xxx i dont have any way to tune so where can i get factory injectors?


what all do you recommend i do to the supercharger to get it in a1 condition?

what mods should i do first
 


also cant find anything on trans fluid what do you recommend? i was thinking mobile on full sythetic, is it ok to do a trans pan gasket and filter, with new full sythetic, is it ok to mix full sythetic and regular fluid.
 
^^i can read the thread for ya, if u need!!hahahahaha. seriously dude,....it all goes by how much $$$$ u got.

look in the tech section for the 4" fender well intake. personally if i did it all over again, and ur $1000. headers, speed daddy(ebay) make a fwi, great tune up, and pulley followed by a custome tune....thats if i kept the gtp also.
 
Reading is your friend...there are MANY threads about your issues. Use the search button...thats what it is there for. Check all the black rubber "T" fittings around the blower and the TB and follow it back to the EVAP...I'd bet thats where it is

thanks but how the boost gage help show you knock and vacuum leaks cant find a thread on this
Click to expand...

It's simple. If the boost bars flicker back and forth between say one or two bars that's a sign of knock. If the boost bars stay lit up or don't light up at all thats a vacuum leak. See, its still a useful gauge :th_laugh-lol2:
