Thought: maybe my timing belt snapped.. shight!

Cheers all- I just had a serious incident with my LS. Was driving down the highway with bad tranny speed sensor and it cut tranny off like neutral when cruising @ 55mph. Pulled over to stop and restart/reset tranny to drive again (lived with this problem for awhile now).. engine starts and...

Here are some randoms maybe someone can help with. I for sure have one or both knock sensors malfunctioning b/c it throws me the codes when tested. I remember drowning these with antifreeze in the center "V" when replacing head gaskets. Would a symptom of faulty knock sensors result in a loud...

Cars dont like to start without gas! :ponder: Apparently my fuel was too low!?!? So now my car runs like a champ! :haha:

Great diagrams!! However I unscrewed the fuel line that connects to the fuel rail on the left side of the engine and cranked the engine to show signs of fuel flowing. There was absolutely NO fuel AT ALL coming out of this line. I have done this before when putting the engine back together...

Ok. Right now I dont have anyone to crank the engine so I have tested the primary and secondary resistance of both coils. It appears that the primary resistance is suppose to be 0.3–0.6 ohms when mine are both reading 0.00 @ 2K and 200K ohms but 0.9 @ 200 ohms . The secondary resistance reading...

That is very likely too. How do I test this?

When it was running and the transmission was working properly there was not any rough idling. Only when the transmission was starting to malfunction would there be inconsistent idle and heavy vibration.

So I have towed the LS back home and ran some diagnostic codes on her. I pulled a 52/55 code meaning both my knock sensors are toast- thats ok- but would having dead knock sensors cause my engine to start up for a few seconds and die everytime I start it? Plus on the transmission I pulled a DTC...

I was on my way to work when my transmission started slipping and my engine was stuttering. I pull over and my engine dies. I now cannot start my car. What do I need to start looking @ to repair the problem? FYI: Before this situation my transmission would start to slip after 5-25 minutes.. I...

So I have now replaced the front crank seal and have no oil leak. I repaired my coolant leak problem by using Bars Head Leak Repair. I have replaced the alternator. New timing belt and resealed about every gasket and o-ring on the engine. I still have low idle. and when driving the tachometer...

I disassembled and sealed the front pan around the crankshaft. I think my leak is coming from the rubber seal around the shaft itself so I will use some sealant around that and see what happens. If it doesnt work Ill just replace that rubber seal. I didnt rebolt my ac compressor last time I put...

I assembled the whole engine and started it back up. I changed all the fluids and while the engine runs there is a massive oil leak from the front of the engine above the oil pan. I resealed the oil pan so I know its not coming from there. Please help me with your experience and or suggestions...

After replacing both cable fasteners that were painted red and black connected to the battery terminals. I found that the ground cable fastener was not allowing current to pass. Thanks for your help gentlemen.

How is it that you will know when a relay is faulty?

There is absolutely no power anywhere in the car! What is this nonsense??

I was outside my car using the automatic start to start the engine and monitor everything. Suddenly my car wouldnt start and my negative battery terminal puffed smoke. Now nothing in my car has power. I tested the battery and its at about 12.6 Volts. I checked all fuses inside the car and the...

So as of now I am waiting on a timing belt and alternator to be shipped. I reassembled everything after replacing both new head gaskets, exhaust gaskets, valve cover gasket, water by-pass gaskets and damm near every gasket on the engine. I have resealed the water pump with high temp red and...

I double checked those cams and it was not off. That was mental error:684:... everything lines up. New topic: I wanted to reuse the timing belt that was on the car already but the indicator marks are worn off. I dont know of anyway to now that it is removed to realign it. Is there a way to do...

I did in fact use a bolt to hold the spring on each side. I marked the joint between the sprockets on the left side.. Then lined them up again once off and the dots did not match up. Guess well see then.
