Finished up few hours ago. Had Christmas parties and Black ops2 that took up some time. Here's a finished shot for now. Next is a proper intake, 3.6mps, and a few gauges.

It's sad about the bolt. Since it's easy..you wanna couple? I've got plenty sitting in the parts bins.

FWIW, I'd go on car-part.com for a pan if you had the time.

I found a replacement that was identical just only a grade 8.8 vs the oem 10.9

I'll get a new one from the dealer and if my starter ever fails ill put the new one in but I had a buddy lose all 3 and used the bolt I got for his GTP and he's got quite a bit more power

Just saying..it can be done from underneath w/o pulling the starter.

I think Swiggles is running 3 8.8's.

Cars falling on its face above 2k rpm. I'm throwing a p1347 this should be fun. No issues before so I'm hoping for a connection issue.

Camshaft huh. did you pull anything at that end while it was out? if not..check the wiring down to it.

All I did was put dielectric grease on all the underhood connectors. I've printed up a schematic and diagnostic flow chart. I'm hoping it's wiring and not the icm.

Found it. Broken wire between icm and pcm. Actually found it broken at the connector above the left dogbone. Not sure how it happened but runs great now that I fixed it

Previous owners remote start was connected right there at one time.. Smart how close it was soldered to the connector.

Want a new pin? LOL I've pulled pins to replace that one before. Really irks me too. You know why, that installer was lazy and didn't want to undo the tape on the loom.
