Re: EGR blues I think not sure.

I've cleaned the t-body and IAC. Had a 96 with throttle sticking on cold start up. MAF looks clean but will try that thanks.

EGR blues I think not sure.

Got a 2000 4.3 that stumbles. Worse when cold but always there. Been through a leaking injector spider. Plugs, distributor and the rest. She has no more codes and I'm drained. Starting to question the EGR. It's clean and never had a code for it. Not even for a lean condition. HELP!!!

Ethanol, what do you think?

Just got finished cleaning some carbs out. Ethanol sure makes a mess of things and for what reason. Does anyone have any thoughts on the matter? It just cause everyone pain and exspense. ](*,)

Re: headers scare me

Porting just isn't in the cards right now. May get 2nd set and experiment on them. Just clean these and painted with VHT 2000 deg aluminum

Re: headers scare me

Low end scenario makes a lot of sense.Adding to your suggestion, I remember way back, read an article on a set of headers. If I can explain this right, these had a sleeve inside each header tube at the flange. Smalle...
