Are the lights on while idling?

 

You should not be unplugging battery terminals while the engine is running. What is your battery voltage reading? (not the stock gauge, I mean with a multi-meter) That's likely gonna tell you a lot....

 

At idle, the lights look normal. Once you give it any gas, they start pulsing. I don't have a volt meter. Usually with a bad with a bad battery, alternator, or ground it would pulse at idle and lessen when you give it gas. I just don't know. It's not terribly noticeable until the dome light is on. I'll just have to get used to it until I figure it out.

 

Ok, after putting a few miles on it, it seems pretty much normal again. I guess the Gremlins decided to give me a break as of now.

 

It was pouring rain outside my open garage while I pulled the intake yesterday. Must have been a moisture issue.

 

Well maybe it worked itself as you said. There are many assumptions that could made obviously, but like most, I woulda leaned towards a loose ground, slipping belt,or a failing alternator.

 

You take the battery terminal loose when you took the intake off? It sounds like a bad connection. Alternators pulse when trying to charge. The battery cushions this so you don't typically see it unless the battery is no good OR the connection is bad. Knowing how shitty the GM designed terminals are, I'd bet that is where your problem is.

 

I did

 

Well that's what I would check first.

 

Seems to have worked itself out. I'll just keep an eye on it. Thanks for the input guys.

 

It's the WEEKEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNND BABY!

 

That just means I have more work to do.

 

My work week starts on Friday. Depressing...

 

I work all week so I can work on the weekend as well. Getting pretty lame

 

:l urk::lur k:

 

So............


J/K, I usually don't say much because I've only met like 2 people on here in person. I'll get out once my car is on the road I guess and actually meet some of you guys.

 

Just fixed the pesky head gasket on mine finally. No more steam out of the tail pipe but it seemed to have a pesky cold start miss today like it did when the gasket was bad......Guess time will tell.

 

Conversation!!! I still believe in this post, lol.

How is it running aside from the cold start?

 

Wonderful, couldn't be better. I didn't do any 100% throttle though....more like 70ish. I wanna look over the tune first if possible....or at the very least let the fuel trims figure everything out.

 

Good deal man. You ever upgrade that stall? Or are you still running the SS4000?
