I thank jagtech by buying used parts from him. Ken@british gets alot of my business too. Brutal would see me more (and get free pizzas and kolaches for him and his comrades) if he weren't 4 hours away. It never hurts to give these guys a pat on the back once in awhile, thought they would love to get some business on the side for alot of their free time used typing to us leaches. I say that with a smile, perhaps a 'sponge' is abetter term to use.

 

And gus...i'm going to use your step by step article to fix my broken visor flap... so thanks to you for taking the time for all of your little projects you've documented. Aren't you the one who didn't know about the global lock/unlock top activation option?

 

Matt, you are one of the guys who gets it, and your trust is much appreciated.
Gus, your site helped a guy with his throttle body connecrtor job last week.
Brutal is a hoot, I finally had the pleasure of meeting him, if only over the phone. We're working on something behind the scenes, so there isn't much else to say here except Thanks for all your efforts.

 

Your are killing me!

 

And I was just north of Dallas in Denton on the 4th and 5th for the Nascar races...I waited for you at the Krispy Kream on 8th street for 3 hours. I finshed a pot of coffee, and and 6 jelly filled... you never showed.......

 

You never posted your trip to the races brutal (at least not in any threads that I was slightly interested in). My crystal ball was at the cleaners (see how I plugged your mechanic jargon) so I was unable to correctly foresee your arrival. After 6 jellies, I hope you ran back to houston as appropriate exercise to offset said calories!

 

Hello! Did we ever get the cause of the problem?

 

I cleaned the throttle body (it was already clean, but did it anyway); and reamed out the part load breather hole again. So far, in the last two weeks and 200 miles, there has not been a repeat of my stalling [at lower speeds, not the high speeds referred to in this thread]. My Indy also seems to think the issue is throttle body relays. If it happens again, thats my next move. gordo

 

Gordo,
Glad to hear that you were able to resolve your stalling problem. I had it two times, the first with the TB plug and the other with the knock sensor that was intermittent. Both were a real opportunity!
As for this post, I was anxious to see the cause. I also wanted to stir up JagtechOhio, H20boy and Brutal. They were talking about Pizza, Krispy Kream, Coffee, Jelly Filled donuts and Texas??? They got this thing going on. And they took time to give me up the road about not knowing that you can put the roof up and down with the door key. It was a surprise to me!
I am still working on the roof hose. We just about have it put together and will have a hose ready for test on a vehicle. Our concerns were the fittings and the hose with the temp and pressure as you well know. I will know for sure when we get the hose together. I hope to get with him this week. Will let you know when it is available. My next project after it is to make a repair kit that will connect to the old hose and not give out.

Gus

 

First, I'd like to apologize for not getting back here earlier. Work has taken a turn for the busier. anyway, the relays finally arrived, were installed and so far, so good. No new incidents. Second I'd like to thank eberyone who contributed to this thread, particularly Brutal and JagTech. You guys rock.

 

Great! Glad to see you got the problem corrected, we knew that you would get it. Well I guess I need to pay on my bet.

Gus

 

You may want to consider cleaning your TB plugs or replacing them since your car falls into that range. They are not hard to replace.

Gus

 

Hey Gus, regarding the TB plugs, where are they and what do they look like? I haven't had any more problems but changing them can't hurt.

 

Glad to hear you got it corrected. Go to my page and look at the TB Plugs. I do not show the new plugs installed on the page.

Gus

 

Thanks. Looks easy enough to do. Any idea how much they are?

 

I am at the office but will check when I get home.

Gus

 

Chaz, thanks for posting your results. The gold terminal ends are like $40.00 total.

 

Thanks JagTech, I'll order 'em.

 

Chaz,

Sorry for the delay. I forgot! It was around $40.00 like JagTech said..

Gus

 

Hmm I just wanted to add that I learned a lot from this thread so thanks to the guys who contributed!
