{addin ya now}
lol shit man i love my car. its a damn go-kart and gets great gas mileage. im lookin for around $2k. but I seriously DOUBT ill get that. im still havin that starting problem. sometimes, usually after its been driven, ill go inside somewhere and then come out and try to start the car and itll turn over but not fire. its been doing this since i got it. if i keep messing with it itll crank up but it takes some persuasion. i just put a new dist. on it so thats not the problem, not the plugs,wires that stuff. i think its either the fuel pump or computer or a combination of those 2(or some other electrical thing). but thats the ONLY mechanical problem. if anyone wants to check it out or wants more info just let me knowHonestly I wouldnt sell it since it's pretty clean, but whatever floats your boat. {you'll be back}
What you trying to get now?
but my boss had a 1965 Oldsmobile 442 that I WANT SO BAD!!!! it needs work but its got a 400ci motor, muncie 4 speed tranny w/ a hurst comp shifter from the factory. good straight body just needs paint. ive got a olds 455ci motor(and a TH400 tranny but thats not needed since its already got a 4 speed manual ) that i wanna rebuild and get about 400-500hp and 500-650Tq which is about 75-100hp over stock and 100 Tq over stock. $5K for it.thats got my name all over it.

WE ARE PLANING A MINI-MEET ON FRIDAY FEBRUARY 9TH, SO VOICE YOUR OPINION!!!
Been trying to. Since december, LoL

Is your car throwing codes?
No codes. I think the timing belt is stretched, and the tensioner isn't holding what it's supposed to...therefore allowing slack and causing the timing to get off when it's under load...causing it to be *shit*
Replacing timing belt this weekend. We'll see what it does.
JDMadness ==>
Replace the tensioner too while your at it and all your problems should be solved
Still here!
Tensioner's like 60 (AcuraAutomotiveparts.org) And can a tensioner REALLY go bad? Wher eon it goes bad?
JDMadness ==>
40$ at autozone... (assuming what they refer to as the "belt idler pulley" being the belt tensioner)
JDMadness ==>
Man if I wasn't in love LOL and my job I would come out and help you with it plus help D and Scotsman with their swaps
Still here!
I'd help out if I wasn't up at NGCSU going to school...

Stay away from Autozone or Advance Auto trust me LOL just try a junkyard first before going to one of those places, but if your timing belt keeps jumping off time it has to be the tensioner IMO I could be wrong.
Still here!
Didn't you say your spring was bad?
Still here!
Well, the belt never lined up PERFECTLY on the cams anyways (according to their timing marks). The cams always had to be just slightly turned to get the teeth to line up, which is PROBABLY why I couldn't get the timing to stay right in the first place. Positive it's jumping timing, though. My guess is in addition to a stretched (and stretching) belt, I didn't have the belt tensioner bolt tight enough...
All will be answered with this weekend experiment. I just gotta baby it cuz I've got about 50 miles to drive with that belt to make it home...cross fingers it doesn't go...
JDMadness ==>
This is a slack ass cell phone pic, but it will do!
Yup, already looking for a replacement. But that spring doesn't do anything once that bolt is tightened down...it only helps to put a little tension on the tensioner until you get the bolt tight...
To substitute for that spring being bad, we stuck a pick down in there and hooked the tensioner and pulled the belt tight...
To summarize, it WAS tight to begin with...and loosened on my way up here. However, that doesn't fully lead us to the tensioner being bad because I parked it over night and started it up the next day...make note, it was very cold. The car ran like a dream for about 10 minutes until the car started getting warmed up.
Theory: The belt is stretching out. When it's cold, the rubber condenses and pulls the belt tight. When the engine warms up, the rubber warms up, and is then stretching...allowing it to be out of time, and jump teeth...
JDMadness ==>
Wow...invest, bro.
JDMadness ==>
Why? Isn't this a stock LS?
This could be your problem!
Still here!
ill! LOL
Still here!
Yes, stock LS...
The question is why is the belt loosening up? Bad belt, or bad tensioner? If bad tensioner, it doesn't make sense that it ran fine when cold...
And I'm not sure if the bolt wasn't tight enough. I'm only guessing it was too loose...
Either way, I shoulda saved myself the trouble and just replaced the damn timing belt when I first did the swap and the engine was out of the car...oh well, live and learn. I've got a picker, so it won't be that hard...
