He keeps insisting that he's not going to mod the WRX, yet it took less than two weeks before he had a short throw shifter put in. Hmmm... I just want him to put the Galant back together so I can put the TTA in the garage so I can fix it. :smile:

See... I know this feeling so very very well. Sharing a house and garage with a fellow car nut just makes this problem so much worse. I've got the Typhoon (with slipping tranny, but plenty drivable) as my daily driver because the TTA tranny is destroyed, and I didn't want the '69 Coronet R/T...

You're not the only one. I belive my injectors are all stock, and occasionally the problem is so bad that it floods on initial turnover. I've suspected my injectors are leaky, but I haven't investigated it yet. I'm busy fixing other small problems in the meantime...

So does that mean I'm extra cool? :wink:

Yeah, it took me 2.5 hours, and I had never done it before in any car, and I screwed around a bunch too. 3 hours should be more than enough time. :smile:

THANK YOU! :grin: I printed this out and left it with them this morning. Sure enough, my trucklet is all better now. Well, at least as good as it was before the factory fuel pump died. Oddly, none of the mechanics would talk to me when I picked it up. Heh. Just goes to show I should have...

Okay... as most of you know, I had a Walbro GSS307 installed recently. I didn't do the work myself because it was raining and I was getting over being sick (no space in the garage unfortunately), so the local shop down the street quoted me $150 to do it. I figured changing the fuel pump is...

thanks guys! I put in the 15 amp fuse and I haven't had any trouble yet. Good call! :smile: As for the gas smell, I can still smell it, kind of. I'll see if I can smell it tomorrow morning. It might just be spilled gas from checking the pressure (by spraying from the schrader valve...

Okay... I just got the truck back, with the walbro installed. :smile: However, there's a definate problem now. Before I got it back, they told me that it started right up and ran for like 5 -10 minutes and then shut itself off. Hmmm... Anyway, eventually, ecmb fuse is found to be dead and...

The Turbo Regals (T-Type, GN, GNX) all had the same 3.8L Buick V6 motor. The TTA had the same shortblock, but different heads. The only differences were with the bolt ons, such as the intercooler, and turbo. The GNX had a slightly different turbo, and better intercooler that the TTA also...

My roomate bought a GN a few years ago and I fell in love with it, but I didn't want the same thing parked beside it in the garage. So when the time came, I found a TTA. Unlike the Buicks, the TTA has all the advantages of the GN, but also stops, turns, and is balanced much better. You do...

Do the Ty gas tanks have a drain anywhere? Just checking before I siphon all the gas out...

Okay, I just ordered myself a new fuel pump, but I remembered a loose ground strap that might be the problem. Where does the fuel pump ground strap bolt to the frame in a Ty? The loose one I found was on the driver's side of the tank, and looked more like it was for the lights or maybe the...

Stock block? So the people here with bowtie blocks don't have Ty's anymore? What about all the turbo Buicks with 4.1L blocks?

Heh. No, I didn't blow up my 4.3, and I'm not selling the 400 anytime soon. I bought it for a car I've since sold, but I'm going to use it in something. Just don't know what yet.

Seriously... I know some of you don't consider it a Sy Ty if the AWD is removed, and it certainly has to have turbo power. For some people it has to have all the stock components (i.e 4L60/700R4, 4.3L V6 etc). Others still would say it's a Ty if it came from the factory as a Ty, regardless of...

Okay... fixed it. It was flooded. WTF? How does an EFI motor get flooded? Anyway, it's happy again. Thanks for the ideas. It needs a tuneup, for sure, and I'll be taking care of that soon.

UPDATE Well, I have plenty of fuel pressure. Starting to suspect the ECM. :sad:

Quick update... Resetting the ECM doesn't help any. When roomate gets home, gonna get him to see if he can hear the pump when I turn the key to on. But since it will run momentarily, I suspect the pump's working fine. So far it's pointing to a clogged fuel filter. I can only hope it's that...

It looks like the stock chip is in there. What is security mode? How do I reset or whatever? Pull the ECM Fuse?
