    Degreaser...that works??

    Poodles if your etching the paint your letting it sit to long or its not dilluted enough. Even worse if its hot outside, so do it in the shade. Mist the bay, spray degreaser, scrub, rinse after 5-10 minutes, repeat. Oven cleaner works great for the trans, again pay attention and dont let it sit.

    turboing a 7mge with out using turbo electronic's

    Nash, Is this going in the truck? If you have the parts laying around seems like a great idea. Just make sure the cooling system is up to it. The 5M guys also stiffen up the AFM.

    Tein vs Tein vs Wallet

    Harder springs does not make it "better". The flex are a more premium coilover. I have the SS and i cant say that i like them.

    Degreaser...that works??

    I used a mix of 50% water, 10% dish soap, and 40% simple green. Rinse after 5-10 minutes and apply more as it can eat the paint. If its really gunky, use steam pressure washer. Oven cleaner will destroy everything.

    Is the O2 supposed to do this?

    The misfire im seeing and hearing is only a partial one. Its also not consecutively, maybe once every 3-5 seconds. Im going to test the heater circuit maybe its cooling off at idle. Ill also use some propane to try to richen it and see if it responds.

    Is the O2 supposed to do this?

    I was messing with the scope today trying to pinpoint my missfire when the engine is hot and idling. Knock sensors, CKP, pulse width, IAT, ECT,TPS, and air flow signals are all operating normal. The O2 sensor however drops below .1v at idle. Now i know its not supposed to do that on obd cars...
