Regal guy,
I'd enjoy helping you, however the multiple links etc.. I can't follow from my current location. If you would like help on a different forum other than your build one, it's a good move to step back and take a moment to understand how guys that want to help, but haven't been along for your entire journey might perceive things and how best to help them get up to speed.
Come on the forum, intro yourself and mention you need a hand. Then, post up what you did, how it was done, who helped, steps you've attempted so far etc etc. Don't take it for granted that linking a guy to a bunch of threads is going to get them up to speed. Clearly you are at your wits end with the problems, try not to push that on people aiming to help you for free. Reading through your post, I see a lot of links and you saying, "still have the issue and stop suggesting the same stuff I've heard over and over."
Meanwhile..since you haven't explained your problem etc and I can't see your links. I'm unable to offer any advice that may help your situation.
Tell Greg I said hi.

Pretty much how it goes, though some of those purposeful rants are ment for a guy who put smart remarks and then deleted them. Which im fine with. The main forum thread on regal gs is my one and only thread link that i put into the first post of mine. Ill re link it. But at the moment the only 2 things i need help with is the stutter at wot which i dont know if you could watch the video if not ill give you the link again to the most recent one.
And the second is when i have the ac on running in stop and go traffic i get really hot which in turn makes the car do it at lighter throttle and i have no clue as to why, other than pressure testing my coolant system which i could do today.

This is the main link that ive put everything into, dont mind the other links people keep adding. They are as i told were made at different times through out my top swapping process and not just simply based on my stutter and various other problems. Thank you for taking your time and helping me.
The problem is off and on. Some times i can get it to do it, and sometimes itll be floored perfectly fine. Im having a friend talk to his uncle and grandfsther to cutting out my cat and u bend and outting a straight pipe because in pueblo 164 dollars for a 4inch u bend to be cut is ridiculous. Apparently compared to every where else my altitide plays a key role. Now idk if scotty was messing with me about going to a smaller pulley or not but until this is fixed id rather wait haha.

bill cant see youtube vids at work or go to regalgs.org.
if you post a vid in photobucket he can see it. copy/paste the first post in the regals thread here.

On the comments.. I'm a mod and can read anything that was deleted. I can see it all. My commentary was more aimed to help you in getting the best help possible. Linking us to other forums isn't that best way because some have RGS, some don't etc etc. Type out your thoughts and what you hear/observe. Often that is better than a vid etc.
I'd bet that the stuttering etc at high rpm..if it's not ignition related, then I'd say it's tune related. On a whim though.. triple check your plug wires are going from/to the correct cylinders. It is very possible to have a couple be incorrectly routed and have the car run great in most situations. Another thing to check is that the #6 plug wire isn't laying on the O2 or it's wiring.
07-07-2014
The wires are fine, all are routed correctly, next on the list is spark plugs. Those are fine as well i just regapped them to a smaller gap on Saturday. I wouldnt doubt its tune related either.
07-07-2014
zzp not known for the best canned tune, its suspect.
i asked before but dont think you replied, did zzp know your at a high altitude?
07-07-2014
You could have the spark being blown out if you were on a crazy small pulley and flowing a ton of air....but with stock manifolds etc, those will hold back enough flow usually to keep that from happening.
Do you have a copy of the tune or access to a tuner that can pull a copy off the pcm? Agreed..you have very little oxygen up there. Greg should be able to pull the tune and see if that's the case easily.
07-07-2014
Nope don't have a tuner but would definitely like one so i can at least learn how to tune cars. And greg is?Originally Posted by BillBoost37
Also so why would it be easier for me to pulley down if i have less air?
07-07-2014
Greg is gojo83, the guy that offered to help you. He has a tuner and can read the pcm.
You have less dense air at the altitude.
07-07-2014
Meaning ... density is less aka thinner
07-07-2014
I knew that we were thinner i just didnt know why it was easier for me. Thanks for the info lol. And yeah hes offered to meet me in denver

By chance would it help to tell you ive been noticong a stumble upon start up. It also takes priming of the fuel pump 2-3 times after a long sit for it to start up.
I remember i unplugged my maf and tried starting it and it could barely stay started, sometimes it would die immediately. Well after i replugged the maf in and tried restarting it it did the same thing 2 Times and would stumble and then it revved itself and the idle dropped back to the 750 in park. Which to me is still low, is that low for being in park running at operating temps?
07-08-2014
750 is about right for idle.
See if you can check fuel pressure before meeting with Greg
07-08-2014
Ok...personally having dealt with top swap tuning and crap, I can tell you that your tune is junk and is the reason for most of your problems. Before a retune, make positively sure that you have no vacuum leaks as the new tune will be affected by it. Then, listen to whatever Bill tells you and get help from whomever he is sending you to as Bill won't steer you wrong.
07-08-2014
The tune you have is fine. Zzp has done a top swap before.
07-08-2014
Well im not to sure when ill meet greg, as for vac leaks mr sexman lol good user name (: ive checked with a gauge for.vac leaks i have all new vacuum lines and tees.
07-10-2014
they all sorta do that, jump up past the idle mark then drop down to the idle rpm.
