not much doin...been driving to work a couple times a week trying to find all the probs mechanically and with the tune, both are pretty solid. since the tune is getting a little closer and setting up the laptop everytime i drive is annoying i grabbed a phone mount and set torque app back up with the important stuff - and if needed i can reset the check engine light if the throttle fails (i hope, hasnt happened yet)
put the heater hoses back in the loop, took a couple days to get all the air out of the system.
new cv axle is much better, no more grease everywhere, plenty of clearance to the lca.
was making some noise i thought the exhaust came loose at one of the vbands and turned or something, trouble of snaking 4" exhaust all the way back. was horrible cruising with converter locked up. turned out one of the hangers "broke" off, ****** weld job. pipe was laying on transmission crossmember. cleaned it up, set exhaust where it was away from everything and welded it back on.
throttle body WAS working trouble free for a few weeks, then outta nowhere it failed, on a little 2nd gear pull after picking up some pizzas. sooo the only time i'd hear some real blow off valve noises were when this thing failed and the tb was completely shut> ie it normally didnt work too well. i noticed this before and tried the lighter spring that came with the BOV but it was too light and would open under idle causing all kinds of problems. pulled it back off, cut the spring down and reassembled a few times till it felt about 1/2 way between the heavy and light springs. put it back together and threw it back on, it definitely "works" much better as in after getting off the throttle in high rpm is makes more whooshy noises. it wouldnt exactly help with the WOT runs, but im thinking if during throttle closing it can exhaust the pressure it may solve some of the problem.
coolant tank taking forever, ive stopped by and tried nudging it along a little - im not really ready for it so no big deal, but id like to have everything here and waiting for whenever i jump up one day and decide its time
still leaks some oil and trans fluid, not enough to drip but it just slowly makes its way down the pans so whatever just going to live with it i guess
