6 days and I finnally have the solara back on the road on a normal day. I found out all the issues and fixed it all.

***KNock sensor- Got the GM knock sensor and blew them. Didnt know how in the world and I was the first one ever to have this issue. Gabe I found the problem. It wasnt because I was running tooo lean. It was because one of the sensor TwoRus sent me was defective bro. I tooked that thing out and notice it never had a ruber seal on it like the other one. SOO thats why it gaved out and broke. I got some new ones and made sure it was not defective. GOOD TO GO WUAHHAAH

**Radiator- The one I had was off a lexus but some ass last owner putted the wrong one in. Well it leaked and crack. I replaced it and good as new with the right one.

* Idle sensor- Last but not least my idle sensor.This little bastard was the reason taht caused all these issues in the first place but was such a sleeper. if I didnt fix all the other stuff and did mantainance on my car then I would of never knew. Still havnt fix this yet. ANyone know how much it cost?


Sooo yeah. Thats the whole issue and I got it all fix myself. 6 days of home labor and yeay.

I dont know. It cost me 30 bucks for GM 1988 Camaro V8 5 liter FI each. And Used the adaptor from TwoRus site. I was able to Change out my radiator, spark plugs, gasket, both knock sensors, re-solder, and reinstall the SC all under 4 hours. It shouldnt take too long. Just yeah its a pain.
