General Buick Tech / Re: serious brake problem !!!!

« on: September 03 2013, 11:28:58 AM »

I just got my brake pedal fixed by relocating the pin for the booster. Im haveing problems putting the one nut on the bolt that holds the brake pedal. Its a tight fit in there...... i might have to drop the steering column!! Is there a guide somewhere on the net that can show me how to drop the steering column down so I could make it easier to put the bolt on. Thanks

i was checking my brake system out because my pedal was feeling spongey. so I took out the master cylinder and brake booster. and found out that the brake booster I was broke around the plastic tip where the rod that goes to the brake pedal. when they converted to back in brakes I don't think that they changed the pedal and it broke it because the pedal and booster rod wasnt lined up right. so i need a pedal what cars can i get one from? this is one of the many issues im having!!!

It is one of the two connectors that come out of the wiring harness just below the alternator.  The fuel pump test connector is the one with a single wire.  the one with two wires is the tach test connector where you can connect a test tach

I think I see a problem ...... there is a wire already plugged in the fuel pump test connector its going to the fuel pump hot wire kit that the last owner installed ... so that's raising red flags to me right now !!!! should anything be plugged in the fuel pump test connector ?

What do the O2s do when it starts to sputter....it may well be something other than the fuel system

When it starts to sputter the o2`s stay stuck on 000 or below 100

can a ecm be bad or have issues without it throwing a code? I know that with the turbo tweak chip my o2's should be in the 700-800's. it keep falling below 100 or be stuck on 000. Are there any other parts or sensors can be bad that can cause this the only one that I can think of is the ecm ..... but im just guessing.

Steve's gonna get pissed at me again...but have you got a spare ECM you could try?

Cool do you live in denver, co?

It is possible but not very probable.

You can check the o2 sensor voltage with a meter and see if it is showing that under the hood.

If it is not, then I would look at my grounds on the back of the head to be sure all are snugged down with no wires loose in the crimp on connectors and no wires broken off.

Otherwise, it would seem to be a fuel pressure problem.  Did you ever turn the fuel pressure up to 50 or more to see if the symptoms changed?

I turned the the fp up to 50 psi the car idled fine the o2's were in the 700-800`s but when you drive it still sputters.
