Latest Lost Cause Project: 1979 Z28
Sweet! Yep Chevy trucks and Camaros are PB&J baby. I have always wanted a Camaro, any generation would be great. I have many fond memories from time spent with my cousin on two lane country roads in SC in his 83 Z. So fun! A guy in my neighborhood has a beautiful 78, maybe 79 Camaro and I have...- JamesSam

What have you done to your square lately??
The pics in the Amazon description show amazing differences. I think I want to check this stuff out. -
What have you done to your square lately??
Cool. Thanks Doug. This is a protectant correct? Are there any of these that use dye to add color back to my faded plastic/vinyl? -
What have you done to your square lately??
Recently I put some vinyl/plastic/rubber protectant-treatment on the tops of my door cards hoping to bring some life back. It put a little sheen on, but they are extremely sun faded. I think I definitely need to dye or paint them again. I am fairly certain these door cards are original to the... -
What have you done to your square lately??
Cleaned in and around the wheel wells/undercarriage. Brushed, wiped, applied Super Clean, wiped again, and then hit them with Chemical Guys Bare Bones spray. Then spent about 15 minutes "detailing" some of the drivers side of the engine bay. Trying to spiff it up a touch more than normal for... -

Test drove it after TPS swap for groceries and to the pool for a fun summer day with the kids. -
JamesSam's TBI Code 21 Test Thread
After work today, while the better half and the kids were at the pool, I thought about what exactly I should do 1st, 2nd, and last with the new TPS installed. Then I decided I was just gonna crank it up. It took about 2 seconds to turn over but once it did, it ignited quickly and powerfully...- JamesSam

Also news to me. Thanks for the info @Ricko1966 . I'm glad I haven't tried to invest in a generic OBD1 scanner. So far just using a paper clip.- JamesSam

No offense others. When I say OBD1 I am referring to the proprietary to GM system that is similar.- JamesSam

JamesSam's TBI Code 21 Test Thread
@gmbellew and @AuroraGirl Starting this so pics can be posted. Some of the preceding events I have discussed due to my truck going back and forth between driving great and not great at all. Most recently I did the paper clip OBDI adjust and set IACV needle and adjusted the idle screw(probably...- JamesSam

Copy. I know you are over my head with the knowledge. I have to work in a few hours. Get back to you tomorrow hopefully. More rain in the forecast however. -

What have you done to your square lately??
VIN, I will get back to you. This will be the first time I have heard of the PROM chip at all, if that might explain why I didn't provide more info. I will look in to opening my ECM and sending pics/info. It's a Flint K truck. 5.7, 350 with 700 R4 transmission. Not California, or Federal... -
What have you done to your square lately??
After getting the passenger door regulator addressed, I fired her up to see how she would run. I let it warm up, moved it to a good spot for potentially replacing the TPS. As it has been doing lately the turnover took a good 4 seconds before it ignited, then it settled in and service engine... -
What have you done to your square lately??
Popped the door card off the passenger side and lubed up the window regulators moving parts to try and get a little bit more life out of the power motor. Also sprayed dry lube in the felts. I completely decimated the retainer clips off one of the strap beauty covers. Gotta get another set ASAP... -

What have you done to your square lately??
Dang! Just ordered it from Summit via 2nd day air. I was impressed that Summit was about $30 cheaper than what I would have paid at the parts store, even with air mail. -
What have you done to your square lately??
Also, I have asked O'Reilly's to order an AC Delco TPS. They had to put in a special request and will let me know if they can fulfill the order. So waiting to hear back from them. I have read and seen in videos that the cheap ones often don't run correct voltage. The one in my truck currently... -

@gmbellew Glen, thanks for the feedback. I have researched the code 21. I also looked through the Fuel and Emissions Manual at the diagrams. I think I want to try bending the tab as you suggest. No scanning ability other than the paper clup trick. I would need to borrow auto-meter, or go buy...
