I broke my purge solenoid! So now I have a hose straight from the vapor canister to the TB. Idles crazy freaking high, but not much I can do about it until friday (payday).
And just to catch up on soooooooooo many missed posts here: new shocks all around, re-geared my rear end(thank you uh...kyle, for the ring and pinion. Saved me lots of money), new TPS, found out how dirty the inside of my TB and intake manifold actually are, new "emissions" filter (the little one inside the airbox), and mostly new exhaust.
In putting on my new exhaust I found out it was a two cat exhaust. I cut off as close to the second cat as possible, cutting it off, and put in two 18" long 3" dia pipes to get it back where I'd have space to put the flowmaster super 40 with two 2.5" outs. I put a 45° pipe on each out with turn down tips and angled them both downish and to the passenger side, a little before the rear tire. Sound WAY better. But I didn't have anything to gut the first cat or any way of removing/replacing it so I just left it for now.
Everything is clamped and sealed together until I can get the money to have it welded properly and figure out what to do about the cat still there.
Word to the wise, saws-all.
