Ever since I installed the nitrous kit on my car back in march, I've been saying the car doesn't feel right. Well, a little bit ago while I was cleaning up the engine compartment, I had the car running so I could spray the degreaser off. Next thing I look up, and woah! The nitrous line going from the solenoid to the plate is grounding out against the distributor cap causing a pretty little spark. Wow! So then, as I was fixing that, I noticed one of the caps on the vacuum line going between the brake booster and carb had fallen off and I had a massive vacuum leak. It must have fallen off a long time ago or maybe I just never remembered to put it on. 2 seconds later, I cap that off and all I can say is WOW! The car feels 100% like a different car now. It idles smoother and pulls harder than ever now...can it hit 113 mph on motor with a stock long block? When we going to the track again?

 

way to go sherlock! ahem...i dont think i should trust you with my gt again. 113 may kill the rearend with the stuff it was doing before. bright side...maybe fumes wont gag me this time!!!

 

Vacuum leaks suck.

 

Good deal Nic. Don't you like it when you find an easy solution to something you never knew.

I just rewired my electric cutout being the male/female plug in connector broke.

 

hahaha man that's awesome.

Once, I realized that i never actually attached my starter back. Just plugged it in without screws etc.

 

Nice!!

And to think all this time I thought it was the nut behind the wheel.

 

FTW

 

luckily it's always the simple things that are the problem, rarely the catastrophic nightmare we imagine it is....nicely done!

 

I lucked out. At first I thought it was the cutout motor, but just ended up being the wiring.

 

damn nic almost another fire! lol
