Thread: Burning oil, misfire #2

That is good compression on number 2. You could check compression on them all just to be sure. Sounds like an LIM gasket. The gasket is plastic and a big piece of shiit, ufcking rediculous they used something like that. Look around the injectors and in the little spaces on the LIM to see if there is little puddles of coolant and oil mixed together. If you do, the LIM gaskets are bad. You could do some rockers and lifters while you are there, that would be a great time to do them if that is something you are going to do anyway.

Yeah I know I went a little lazy just checking #2 but Its a pain in the balls runner her off of my R/T because she wont hold a charge. Alt is good but the battery is useless and its under warrenty so untill the Interstate guy pays his visit thats what I got to deal with.

Im not spending a dime were I dont need to cause this rig is probably going to be a decent amount of cash and a heck of a lot of my time. So untill I can at least see a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel I want to keep the cash reserve ready for a nightmare lol. I didnt pay cash for her just gave a running high mileage vehicle to the guy who didnt have time to figure her out like im trying.

On the other hand I need to find a full wire diagram for this vehicle. I suspect the underhood relay/fuse panel is out of a N/A GP unless the yard marked it wrong..... I also have a couple stray wires under the dash.

The one Im most interested in the BL/GR wire I found behind the radio with the end stripped connected to nothing that runs down the drivers side floor. The only interior electronics giving me a hassle is the radio that only turns on at random then functions fine along with the onstar and the trac controll button does not seem to work.

With any luck the turds at my local GM dealer were fired and they have some decent parts guys there now otherwise Its a 1HR drive to the next dealer.

I dont suppose theres a FSM in PDF format floating around is there?
