Alabama thread!

That's a great idea. That didn't even cross my mind. Would be fairly cheap, too.

 

I've never converted one, personally. Not sure if a carb would bolt up to the factory Intake. Maybe Bill will chime in on this. Sounds pretty simple.

 

I may have spoke to soon. Apparently it's not so easy.

interesting never thought bout this bill any suggestions

 

I understand you dont wanna dump more money in, but a 4.0l swap would be sweet.

 

and not so cheap.....

 

but....badass....lol...

 

Oh well, sounded like a good idea lol

 

it did. haha. I looked into a rebuilt motor 3vze and 5vzf-e 3159 for the 3vze and 3700 for the 5vzf-e

 

Ouch! I'm willing to bet there's nothing wrong with your motor though. It's likely something electronic.

 

do yall think $3500 is too much? for my truck the way it sits now...

 

do you think if i change the ECU it will fix it?

 

No idea man. If it's a cheap fix, i'd do that before selling it. You're not going to get what you've already put into it.

 

Man there is a little shop in Alabaster headed north on 31 on the right side of the road, those guys are great...have them hook it up to a reader, or have Bill do it...track it down.

 

You could take a video and post it over on YotaTec forums. Someone there might know right off the top of their heads what's wrong with it.

 

I would love to but it wont start now.... it's got gas and everything else that an engine needs to start! lol I spent over 800 dollars last week, including fuel. 550 of it went to the knock sensor.... the rest was fuel for the truck i was driving... I am going to try the AFM mod and see if it will start/run better.

 

scratch that.... went to look at the truck and noticed that a fuel injector's wire was spliced together along with a wire leaving the distributor going somewhere. copper was showing on it. going to take the throttle body off and clean it reall good. gonna take a look at the intake side of it also. while it's off I am going to try and spray some starter fluid in it and see if it will fire.

 

ill settle with a 3.4 swap to be honest... i like that motor better. wanna help with the funds? needs a trans swap also. might as well go with the 5spd

 

I don't think bill has been on all day. Sent him a PM about the CEL and not having any power lastnight and he usually responds first thing in the morning. He might have been busy all day.

 

C'mon Bill!!! Quit being productive and get on the puter....
