Randy, I'm an old school GM tech. I can tell you that design of MAF was used on a lot of the GM SFI engines back in that day. The interesting thing was, the C3I distributorless ignition system was prone to popping back through the intake during cranking on occasion. It normally happened when you just didn't hold the key QUITE long enough for the engine to catch, and it would pop back through the intake. Trouble is, that particular MAF would get blown the hell apart nearly every time it did it. I replaced COUNTLESS MAF's on these, 88 Royales, 98 Regencys, Rivieras, Bonnevilles, you name it.......pretty much all the GM cars that had the early C3I system, with this design of MAF. Guaranteed, you have a bad MAF, and the intake pipe situation is trash - fix these two items, and that car will probably shock the hell out of you.
@kmas82294 ай бұрын
Hey. I have a question for you. When you say that the C3I distributorless ignition system "was" prone to popping back through the intake, breaking the MAF in the process. How did the engineers remedy that? Was it ever improved upon? Is it something I'd have to be wary of when I'm looking for a GN myself? Sorry if it's a dumb question, I'm familiar with SBCs and the GN v6 is a different beast that I'm not familiar with though it's my dreamcar.

The horsepower numbers were underrated for insurance prices back then. Quit a bit above the factory numbers. If it has an aftermarket boost controller it most likely isn’t stock. From those that I’ve known who have/had Grand Nationals they don’t really like anything less than 93 octane. Those tires are meant to keep you from spinning in order to plant all the power on the ground so they are the better option. Guarantee when it’s running 100% right it will still spin them if you really want it to.

@@Legend_1754 you are correct in also saying they didn’t want it beating the corvettes on paper however they knew everyone would figure it out soon enough. They underrated several cars back then for insurance purposes. There were cars in the 60’s and 70’s that produced over 400 on the dyno but the manufacturers would rate them in the 300 range. For one reason they knew they would be buying the cars as well and didn’t want to pay the higher insurance costs as well as not scaring potential customers away with the higher coverage prices.

However she had me retorque everything after a few day's past because she noticed it felt loose. She could not get the strength to tighten certain things. That's when I shared a little secret about something called a cheater bar.

from what ive seen, the only option car is missing on inside is electronic touch climate control. and under the hood, looks mostly all stock, but you have a adjustable wastegate for the boost. be careful if you still run the stock fuel pump and its not "hot wired". usually most people run their own 12 gauge hot wire back to fuel pump as stock wiring doesnt deliver much power to it. this is almost a must to do when upgrading fuel pumps . also, the flex tubes connected the turbo to maf, most replace with either a polished metal tube or chrome tube intake. good luck and have fun with it, she looks nice!,, also, your brake light is mostly the "acummulator bulb" that is stuck on the side of the power master. this is most always the source of brake light. if thats not it, the pressure switch. and as a bonus, theres an idiot light on the right hand side thats not used, doesnt even have a bulb behind it its about halfway down the plastic panel that reads "power injection" , well i put a bulb behind it, and hooked it up to a boost switch that would turn it on at boost. yes this was a factory warning light that was never used on the gn, as GM was planning to put a water injection system on it to spray water into the intake upon boost. if you take off the dash and shine a light on the right side warning light panel you will see the power injection label :)

Be careful driving the car without the MAF Sensor not being plug up. The car could be running lean while in boost which is dangerous for a boosted car. The fix for most of those cars to get rid of the MAF and go aftermarket ecu to run only a map sensor which is built into the ecu and make the car go from a MAF base car to a Speed density car which can run only a map sensor. That is big money to do all that work tho and you have to find a tuner.

The pipe connecting the turbo compressor with the MFS should be present tight. It is present in European cars very solid, especially in European cars there is a special mesh that protects the measuring "hot wire" in the MFS. (this "wire" is very delicate). Moreover, you can see how dirty it is "Venturi nozzle" (it must be clean there), the task of the air filter. I think the computer is having difficulty selecting the fuel dose by failure to determine the correct amount of air sucked in by the engine. There is also a "left air" option further into the intake system, as you mentioned. Sorry for any mistakes, I'm writing using a translator

Instead of replacing the entire brake system, you may only have a bad pressure accumulator. Under proper operation with the key on, engine off, you should hear an electric pump come on after you press the brake pedal about 10-20 times. If the pump comes on every time you hit the brake pedal, you more than likely have a bad accumulator. Do not drive it like that. If you have to do a panic stop, let's just say that you won't... The brakes won't come on for 3 to 4 seconds after you stand on the rock hard pedal. Ask me how I know! Nice car by the way! I'm excited to see more videos on this one!

The reason the cars were limited to 124 mph was for the tires from the factory. The fan delay relay (black driver side bigger relay, 25527402, also ACDelco 15-8229) controls the high and low speed fans along with the cooldown cycle, and can drain the battery if it malfunction.. The other plug on passenger side is for the standard tachometer/ boost gage; the one installed on the pressure switch is used only on the digital dash syste. Those cars are VERY voltage sensitive, and will act the fool if voltage is not right. The factory MAF sensor really needed the screens to keep the air straight. The dual rear spin is not always proof of the limited slip. If it has aluminum drums it was NOT limited slip; Iron drums meant limited slip. The only true way to know is to open the rear and inspect. Also, the partial VIN is on the driver side of the engine block at the transmission flange, and on the transmission case on the passenger side horizontal flange. The build sheet would also be inside the driver's door and on the rear seat frame, plus on the actual frame of the car.

That's not the correct maf for that car. That's a replacement they don't run well on these cars. I think that's for a fbody . The original has the plug that goes straight down not to the side. Put a maf translator on it. And the ls1 maf is the same part number for a 99-2005 buick century with a 3100 engine. I have 2 of these cars.

Classic Industries makes a 15x8 aluminum repop of those wheels and it shows that Goodmark has them in stock

Sorry. I got that backwards. Goodmark makes the wheel, Classic Industries has them in stock. 😂
