That is how we feel about hearing about a Civic trying to race. Set out the sundial and wait to see how fast either one moves.

it has everything to do with the fact you said my truck wasnt related to an Fbody in any way... but I made one simple statement saying it is.. it has everything to do with the fact that the same manufacturer built my truck as the Camaro, or Corvette, or Trans Am... It has everything to do with the fact that you are adding nothing to this thread or this website so why not just get out. You've already shot yourself in the foot with your very first post... so dont expect much of a differing reply.

Sure, there are plenty of members of this site who dont own Fbodies, but 99% of them dont show up here being asshats like you have done. If you want to be a member, sure, go ahead. But only if you want to learn or contribute something to the community. We (the people you are starting BS with) dont come to your import sites making random critical posts, so why do you? Nevermind, We label your type "ricers" for a reason, and you just reminded me of it.

So, once again I say, please just leave... I've had my laughs today, I dont think I can handle much more.

No, I put it on the Poisitve Terminal on the right side of the motor. You know the battery is on the Passenger side of the engine bay.... there is a terminal, or bolt, that has a red cap on it that says "Positive Terminal" I have a few other wires running to it, so I just used that for the heater.... Where else would i put it?

By the way.... I have the car at work now. I jumped it and brought it up here so I can charge the battery. On the way to work though, she didnt want to find an idle. And when I would let off the gas, the rpms would shoot up to 2k and stay there til I would come to a complete stop. Dont know where this is coming from though....

WOW, Ben sent me a text message telling me to check out the ol hr thread cause he said it was getting pretty funny and wadyaknow, he is going back and forth with some ricey kid that says he will be able to video the runs this weekend from his rear window cause his **** is so fast!...............Must have V-TEC, or maybe even iV-TEC!!! U really did start off bad in this thread. The biggest problem being that most in this thread are a tight knit group who constantly post in this thread and have somewhat of a repour with each other, then u bring ur garbage out of knowhere, kind of asked for what u got! If u wanna test silver's 4500+ yacht out, then roll with me and him up to MIR on the 16th and he would be more than happy to "TOW" your ricey *** all the way down the track!

The idle needs to relearn itself.let in idle for about 20min or so,should clear itself up.

It takes a little while for the PCM to relearn the idle when the PCM has lost power, should clear up by the time you get it home.

well Ben, you were not lying about this kid, so heres my two cents, okay there 8urf-body. look i am fairly new on this site as well but i have been registered long enough to know you dont just come in somewhere for the first time and start trouble. not to mention i have met these guys and you really must not know what you are getting into. But look, i will do you a favor cause your new, i have a 01 mustang gt with some goodies if you really want to play. but before you get to play with V-8s i will race you on my kawasaki 250 dirt bike and beat you. that is if i can keep the front tire down, yet something else you will never have to worry about with a little front wheel drive fairy car like yours. by the way, costco has a huge sale on bags of rice, so if you need some more power i suggest heading down there.
