Help get Silver running again!!

[Off_Road_Teacher]

so just turning it on let it run for a bit and repeat?

Start it, drive it for like 10 minutes, shut it down, repeat. The length of drive doesn't really affect it as much as just the number of key cycles. I tried the long drive method and was not nearly as effective as key cycles.

I wouldnt trust its straight for atleast 2 weeks but im gun shy when something like your situation happens.

Yep, AAA and a cell phone just in case! Seriously do you really want to chance it? It'll probably be okay, but might not....

Drive it and enjoy it. You worked hard to get it running, now it's time to drive it. Worst case, you have to get it towed again.

^^^ thats what im thinking. drive it around tonight. if its good around town it'll definitely be good on the highway.

Wanting to die at the stop is normal at first. Just keep going through the key cycles and it will learn.

So when you going to give it a good shakedown to see what it can do?

 

[Silverbullet08]

ok good to know. its only got 15 miles on it right now since all this was done

Does it feel stron with the new cam? What kind of 0-60 are you shooting for?

 

[Silverbullet08]

Like I said hit a muffler shop and see if they have any O2 **** plugs that come on some of the Magnaflow cats, and/or an old O2 sensor, or even a non-fouler and have someone throw some weld in it to plug the little hole in the end.
