"Be sure to replace the exciter ring anytime the crank is removed from the engine. GM sells it for about $15 under p/n 12559353. We install it with the tool that Larry Eriksson of Crankshaft Rebuilders designed, that is marketed by Goodson (p/n RRJ-350), because the engine will start, but it won't run, if the total runout exceeds .020?, including crankshaft end play. Be sure to follow the installation instructions shown in the article and install the ring with the holes facing the rod journal because the engine won't start if you install the exciter ring backwards."

yea just pulled the plugs and the 2nd one on the driverside was broke at the base. this should solve the backfire issues hopefully. i posted a video of what the car sounds like in the media section. that was when it was on 7 cylinders though. hopefully get a new video soon.

well when i take it back on wednesday i can ask them what sensors they were. no the shop didnt rape me at all i got a good price on all the stuff. thanks to robert and the staff at advanced dyno in suisun. they are a good group of guys over there
