Re: MAP Problems? 84 ceasefire (WEDGE)
Could a leak between one or both of the intake to head gaskets and the heads cause this? can't hear any vacuum leaks, but I'm missing 7 inches of vacuum somewhere? Is is my cam choice,
Unless the missing 7 inches is because the car can't run smoot enough to create the vacuum I need?
RACE ON!!!

Re: MAP Problems? 84 ceasefire (CFI-EFI)
Good, its nice to know that i didn't blow money on the wrong cam. The timing marks were checked by a guy who knows what he's doing and he say I did a great job? As far as the rockers, I asked him about those too, he says they are fine. Other than the timing jumping all the time from a slack chain and a couple of noisy rockers, it ran pretty good for a crossfire with a worn cam!! If I'd have know I would have this much trouble, I would've just kept driving the bloody thing till the motor broke!!

Here is the latest, I just posted this at crossfire forum. I am seriously close to burning this car to the ground and NEVER touching another vette.

The latest: It's 9:30pm Saturday, finally got to fire the car up. Well, guess what after taking the intake off and resealing it for the 3rd time I'm still getting code 33 and I cant get more than 10inches of vacuum to the MAP? I have looked for and sealed every possible vacuum leak and something is still wrong? where do I go from here? I am on the verge of tears right now!!!

Re: MAP Problems? 84 ceasefire (WEDGE)
I may finally have it fixed? But I'm not gonna get excited yet. Tonight I adjusted all the rockers and now the check engine light doesn't stay on it will go off and on, and the car is not nearly as rich. I don't think I honestly could have made that much of a difference, but I guess I must've done somthing right? will keep You all posted.
