Dan's Money Pit NYTRDR

Put the new shifter in. 1000000x times better.
Back story, I was having trouble having trouble hitting gears. Turns out, the bolts for the shifter were barely finger tight. I never looked at the shifter before, I wouldn't ever leave bolts that loose.
But I really dig this new set up.

Figured I'd give an update on my ride to anybody that sees this. It's going along good. Thanking the camaro gods I have ttops because I haven't filled the a/c system yet.
I was going to have a y-pipe made for my shorties, but decided not to. Instead I'll be installing some LTs this winter. As well as do a full break service.

Pray to the LT1 gods with me, "We will not let Dan's camaro have anymore problems!"

Lol... good luck!

P0137 code popped up. Bank 1 sensor 2 low voltage. I smell a tune out in the future..
P0140 I think showed up before. Which is no activity at all.. Post Cat o2 sensors don't calculate fuel air ratio right?
Also getting P0410 which is secondary air injection system. That is for emissions. I'll double check to see if it is even plugged in
P1441 Evaporative Emissions (EVAP) System flow during non-purge. I replaced the sensor for it, only for me to break it, so I'll replace it again and see if that fixes it. Is the EVAP emissions related..I know it says it in its name, but is it important.
Should be doing the VATS bypass too someday.
Thanks

I hate the CEL, been on since I've owned the car.

And thanks @popo8 you the man!

[popo8]

Yes... u can tune out the post cats

[popo8]

What state donu live in... evap is part of emissions... but that can be tuned out ... (in my case the only evap i could not tune out was the evap solenoid code... so i plugged the noid back in with not equipt on the other end of it.. and the lite went out. Lol

I'm in Michigan. No testing or inspections.
Since I still have the Cats, would it be a bad idea to tune it out or no? I have no idea how tuning works lol.

[popo8]

I tuned mine out when i got my car... well actually i put simulators in there... since i had an o2 go bad.

If ur not planning anymore mods...id tune it out. If u are... id wait to do the tune for everything.

[Dan]

thank you sir. I think I'm done with mods for the year. Really want to just drive, and have fun with it.
I should say no major mods. Of course I'll still be looking for a complete 97 black leather interior. Ill just need a bit more money though. I'm picky lol.
I know of a local tuner near me, forgot his prices on code tune outs. Wasn't too bad.

[popo8]

Well have him delete all ur emissions stuff... and tune out vats... have him set the fans to come on earlier (like 170) and get a 160 thermostat... i had Nick on here do mine for the ta... he even raised the redline... adjusted the shift points... ser it up for the larger wheels and tires... and the 3.73 gears... threw a lil timing at it... raised the idle and she runs and drives better than ever...with 190k on the odometer.
