    NJ/NY Gen 2 Guy - WTB Full Stock Exhaust

    Hey Guys. I've been passively selling my Viper for a while now with many tire kickers who are not thrilled with how loud it is. I'm considering going back to a full stock exhaust and removing the VEC1, kind of putting it back to "somewhat stock" for easier sale or trade-in. WIth the VEC1 and...

    Radiator Fan Won't Come On Need Some Help

    I had a similar issue and chased my tail for a while. I'm doing this from memory but I believe it was the hi/lo fan relay if I'm not mistaken. The issue that made it difficult to idenitfy was regardless of temperature, the car needed to be running for the fan to come on. I would put the key on...

    Coolant Smell & Silicone Hoses?

    I'll give you my assessment. I have a coolant smell most if not all the time. I actually took the front fascia off thinking it was the overflow bottle on the passenger's side under the light to find that the overflow bottle was fine but is vented to the atmosphere. I really smell it when I drive...

    Car won't start...help appreciated.

    So the Viper is back alive and have I learned a valuable lesson. First off, you definitely need shop manuals (which I have), including the owner's manual (which I don't have). Secondly, don't use your nose to diagnose the problem, use the forums and listen to the first person to reply...THANK...

    Car won't start...help appreciated.

    I was by myself the day I was diagnosing the car and couldn't pop a plug wire off, check for speak and turn the key and I didn't want to jump the relay and short something out! I'll def take a look at it in the next few days. Thanks to everyone for your advice.

    Car won't start...help appreciated.

    I figured when I went forced induction I'd go AEM or otherwise and didn't assume it would $hit the bed on me! Im not a fan of this thing either but it seems to work fine for a car thats virtually stock with exhaust work and some minor stuff.

    Car won't start...help appreciated.

    Thanks 2000ACR. The vec 1 gets t-tapped into the stock harness under the dash and at the PCM, the stock harness does not get plugged into it. I'm going to do some troubleshooting in next few days when I have some time but here's my question. I'm getting Fuel for sure in the smell from the...

    Car won't start...help appreciated.

    Hey guys. Just back from traveling. The Vec 1 has never been close to water. It def wires into the ignition system in that the unit adjusts fuel and timing at both low and high throttle. I'm just curious if disconnecting it may allow me to see if the car will start in stock form. I have the...

    Car is always on battery tender and cranks just fine. I haven't changed it in the 3 years I've had the car.

    Car won't start...help appreciated.

    The VEC def didn't get wet. The car cranks like crazy, just won't kick. I was alone today and wasn't dressed to start yanking plugs and checking for spark. No CEL's that I've seen since I bought the car 3+ years ago. I had a thought. If I unplug the VEC t-taps under the dash and/or disconnect...

I started it and sht it off a few times and at one point I fired it up at the car wash and it violently backfired and then wouldn't re-start. I smelled...

    fuel pump better/bigger than stock

    I've uses and have seen many Bosch 044 pumps in-tank in my DSM years ago. I made alost the identical set-up pictured above. My car was a 2.0L with 640hp at the wheels with meth injection on pump gas. I used decent sized injectors and was only at 70% injector duty cycle. That being siad, the 044...

    Fixed my A/C for $4!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    This was a great thread. Thanks for this. I found and bought the same kit and used the same o-rings. Last year I just charged the system and never checked anything out. When I loosened the upper line on the compressor I could have probably done it by hand it was so loose and the o-ring inside...

    Crackling from the Stereo at idle??

    This is weird. I had my drivers door panel off to address a slow window motor, put it back together and had no problem with the radio that I recalled. After I hit a decent bump this past weekend I began getting crackling through both sides with the radio on and not when playing a CD. I wonder if...

    daves power steering pulley and bracket install

    Hey guys. All of your help means a lot. Everyone who replied could have blazed me for being a penis and you've all been cool. I just ordered a pump from Paul Scharf who was a true pleasure to deal with. For anyone who makes this blunder my only advice is DON'T DO IT LIKE GABE! Chuck Tator let me...

    daves power steering pulley and bracket install

    Dave, no split in the hub by the way. Mine definitely isn't as shiny as the one on your sight either! hahaha. I just relooked at the pics and get how the hub could have just been pressed on.

    daves power steering pulley and bracket install

    Thanks guys. I believe this pulley has 3 "slots" and 3 holes holes for the hub. The guy I bought it from had it laying around in the box for a while. I actually never thought about taking it apart before installing it(DOUCHEBAGGERY NUMBER 2) but this was probably a mental block resulting from a...

    daves power steering pulley and bracket install

    I don't have pics and have already pulled it apart..well almost. This can be avoided by paying attention and having the right puller available. There's no GOOD parts stores nearby to borrow or rent from and I thought I had the right stuff handy. It all worked but I'm a dope! Nonetheless...

    What a S--tbag of a day I had. I bought this setup from someone on here who was selling it new in the box. No instructions but there's been enough insight on here to dive right in! I had this thing going on SOOOOO smooth and about half hour in the pump was unbolted, old pulley off and as I...
