Thread: Trans or PS line hitting my headers, anyone else have this problem? *pic*

[URL=http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/62/20130516192923.jpg/]

Right up against the header & I can't move it much at all. Its insulated but never read of that being a problem with speed daddys for anyone else of the forums. Possibly causing my huge KR issue?

What can I do here or does it matter?

I know that on my car the line is close but doesnt touch.

Being that its insulated I'm not sure if its going to the issue.

Mine is close and im sure it probly hits but doesnt cause kr. Take off the s/c belt and see if the kr persists?

Also to mention befor i tuned my car i had 4-6 degrees of kr with intake and headers. Now its gone

That's your PS pressure line IIRC. I replaced all of mine and I have NO clue why GM thinks they need 20' of hose to go from the pump to the rack... My new one actually makes a loop between the motor and firewall where yours is and it sits right beside my header. Just keep an eye on it. It's a PIA to loosen the nut on the pump so the line will move and even then I'm not sure if it will make a difference. If you are concerned, maybe some header wrap around the line? I don't think that would cause KR issues though...

KR with S/C belt off, got KR cruising at 80mph like 4-5 degrees lol with the cruise control on lol
Last thing to check is the catalytic, will take O2 out tomorrow & see what happens.

Whats that?

It's French......

Would you running 104's be causing KR? Probably stupid question, sure you've been running them for a while and it just recently started, but though I'd ask.. lol

the kr has not recently started. i just got a scan gauge recently. Never even thought of kr given flow mods and stock pulley. the al104's should be fine, no?

Give it a little tweak. You don't want it actually touching.

Gave her a little tweak and it wouldn't move, its pretty tight to the headers. Does it require a bigger tweak? Not sure how delicate that line is?
I could also try & move the insulation piece up or down

Since you were unsure which line it was...maybe you aren't the right guy to tweak it. Is your girl around later?

She won't come home until I am done with your girl

Last thing I want is to bust the line & get $hit from everyone here when I ask how to repair - if it can take the abuse, I can give the abuse.

Don't give it abuse..just be firm and move it a little to get it off the exhaust. Plus..we wouldn't give you crap for breaking it..

Bent it PS doesn't sound any worse for wear, still touches a smidge, KR still there so this can't be a cause.
