Turdbucket 1996 Caprice gets a wheel upgrade
New (used) wheels from a junkyard to reduce some weight on the drive train. Super cheap swap to 15x10 inch rims with 275/60/15 Nitto drag radials. Scored these rims for $10 each at the local junk yard. Easy project.

We were sleeping off the line, get out ahead and our 2-3 shift dropped for some reason leaving the mustang to drive around us. Was funny watching him look as we drove around him off the line.

How did you hook up the tachometer?
Well done information
That's a beautiful car
Man you're a beast bro
Do you still have this car?
For anyone trying this, you can NOT get a wrench on the left side downstream (the one in the cat) that easy. I haven't done mine yet but it looks very much like you either have to remove the cats (undesirable) or have a crowfoot o2 tool. I've looked from every angle and while you can get a wrench on it, there's no purchase for your hand, and no room to get enough torque to break them loose.
I’m trying to connect a obd2 elm327 to my 96 impala and i’m using torque app but it’s not working the lights on the obd2 device are working and the app is connected to the device but it says it can’t connect to the ECU. Any suggestions
Pre post upstream downstream before after - My diagnostic device says "behind" cat... 🤡
Streams flow from source to destination. Think of exhaust like water. It flows from the head to the tailpipe. So 'up stream' is considered against the current or up near the head, and downstream is considering toward the destination or tailpipe. In this case, downstream is 'after the catalytic' (or in the cat, in most cases.) and upstream is the one right after the collector of the header.
On throttle body passenger side where dose lower hose go to? I got 96 Camaro Z28 LT1 currently hose is wide open when I try fill coolant in raditor it leaks right out throttle passenger lower hose port ?
Total waste of money, all you have to do is spray it with a MAF cleaner and it should last the life of the car. People should learn to clean the MAF at each sit filter cleaner. Replace the security screws with regular screws for ease or removal next time
Thanks for the concise description. Why the hell did they use security T-20?
Get a tripod.
Just asking why didn't you clean it and them put the new parts in? You showed how dirty it was and then didn't address it.
lose the air foil its blocking idle air hole at least thirty horse power on top end 3 1/2 mm of free carb
Thanks!!
YOO NAILED IT BRO! THNX 4 INFO! 😆😆😁👏🏼👏🏼
My 1995 Buick Roadmaster is having some low idle issues and sometimes it dies when at a stoplight or shifting from drive to reverse. The check engine light comes on when it stumbles from a normal idle to about 400 rpm. It goes away after I drive it at normal street speeds for a couple minutes. I've been told that the issue could be my throttle position sensor. Also the transmission doesn't shift out of first until I let off the throttle completely and reengage it slowly, neither does it downshift smoothly. Could this all be the cause of my TPS?
Did you ever solve the issue? I also have a 95 Roadmaster with similar issues. In gear and at a stoplight it will idle real low, and sometimes dies. Runs perfectly smooth as long as I'm moving, and it's also usually fine when it's in park. I'm new to DIY car stuff and I'm trying to get good at diagnosing things instead of just throwing parts at the car lol
did you clear codes b4 u started the car. l need to swap out my maf . on.my c2 03 996 .thanks
? Why when i crank its no problem idle high, put in drive it’s like it want to take off by itself tires screeching wail foot on breaks, long time to shift an jerking every shift
High its didnt solve the problem to me same high idle i change thim all new kit
Do you need to change the entire set of upstream & downstream? Or is it acceptable to replace a pair at a time?
Nice Video . Thanks for not putting music in it and keeping it simple . One thing I might add is that I take a few pictures of everything before I disassemble it . Sometimes its a good referrence for vac lines , etc .
I have a surging idle once hot on my ‘94 Trans Am 6speed 25th anniversary you know the white ones with white rims,bucket seats and the blue stripe down center of the car.
Holy hell a 9C1 LT1 those sweethearts are extinct!!! Enjoy your beautiful ride don’t let someone smash into you…I had a 79 olds holiday 88 couple with 27,000 miles looked like it rolled off the showroom floor.. I got t-boned. I cried…seriously grown man and I definitely cried and miss that car to this day.
My deepest condolences for the 88 🌹
Why did you say you were replacing it? I think you said age, but subtitles say 'woman aid' - Ive listened 4 times. Curious age and mileage of O2 sensors if you know? Thanks for great video.
Thank you very much for your very informative video. I am going to be changing the upstream oxygen sensor on one of my Porsches (2001 996 Carrera).
What's the part number for the hose
Did you have to adjust the tps sensor for correct idle?
Thanks! needed this for a 987 but your vid showed everything I needed.Problem solved.
Very clear video and perfect amount of detail. Nice work.
Thanks, that was helpful. Nice video. Hope to see more.
Voice is so calming. Thank you. I know I can do this. God bless you and your family.
So if anyone sees this my corvette also an LT1 like bogs out when I give it almost anything over 30% throttle what could that be?
i’m having the same issue in my 97 camaro with an lt1
Could be fuel. Have you ever replaced your fuel filter? Check for spark. First check the plugs, then inspect your wires to see if they are rubbing on anything or arching. Have you replaced your opti spark cap? Those are the main things to check. Did you have a code pop up? If so, what is it?
Do you have to remove the TB or does it just make it easier to get to?
Thanks for this - I only see two black connectors closest to the boot opening, I seem to be missing the pre cat - any idea if this is correct? Any i
That was the best video,I've ever seen! Precise,to the point and loaded with information! Thanks,! You did a great job!
Thank you for making this video. Aside from it being simple and informative it is wonderfully produced with mostly a stationary camera, no obnoxious heavy metal introduction or distracting soundtrack like so many mechanic videos, and the mechanic is calm, articulate and methodical... a breath of fresh air!
Hey man, may i ask what spark plugs and coil springs do you use? I still can´t fine tune my Fleetwood.
Thanks for posting this. I tried to replace mine yesterday, but couldn't break loose one of the sensors. Questions, you mentioned you have aftermarket exhaust but your exhaust looks exactly like mine. 2nd, after cat sensor appears to screw into the cat itself? Location being closer to the centerline of the car. Pre cat sensors are closer to the tires and rear fenders? Last question? 2 sensors or 4 on your car? I have 4. 2 pre and 2 after. Thank you.
Ed Thayres ......I’ve got a 997 on 05 plate basically same setup and my eml came on fault code P0056 which is bank side 2 off side post sensor gone but from what I’ve been told always change the pair as in pre and post sensors as above video black and blue cables. Was hoping I can do it without taken bumper off as video shows this is possible which is a winner.....I’m just hoping the old sensors don’t strip the thread🤦♂️
@@mikefranky I don't know that it's truly possible. I think the less risky and probably better approach is go ahead and yank the bumper. It may just be less headache in the long wrong as well.
@thepacketnarc7634 .....Yes true fella will be easier with bumper off...Easiest job on the 997 is an oil change must be Easiest out there👍
Thanks for the helpful video. Any issues with an aftermarket Idle Air Control on this model?
Idles a bit higher than stock. Keep thinking Ill swap it with another replacement but I havent yet.
Ok so last Saturday I got my car to start. I ran it for 45 minutes the next day was Sunday and the car wouldn't start..so I started more investigation and I found I had 2 vacuum hoses that I could actually see threw.. so I drove to parts store got everything I needed and replaced the 2 vacuum lines but the car wouldn't start.. Wednesday evening I get home and I go ahead and replace the Throttle Positioning Sensor and the Idle Air control sensor... still nothing.. I had already replaced the temperature sensor that goes into the waterpump.. I'm so confused about all of this... can you tell what the sensor is that sets on top of motor on the passenger side between the intake and the valve cover.. I don't know what this sensor is called but this sensor has the vacuum lines that I replaced that go to the front side of the Throttle Body... this is so crazy because the car ran great on Saturday with very cracked vacuum lines and Sunday it won't start with good vacuum lines... I'm going crazy....
Sensor on the passenger side is the evac system. Really wouldn't do ouch for the car not starting. The RPMs is via an app called torque pro. I use a BAFX obd2 device. On the app you can customize what info is shown. Really nice app for the money.
Have you checked for engine codes via obd scanner?
This thing that you did on your phone showing RPM's how did you do that ? I'm new to this game I have 95 as impala x highway patrol car... by the way great video...👍
Thank you for a good video... very informative.. I have a 95 impala x highway patrol car.... sometimes it will start sometimes it wont
I feel that's a icm issue
