Well, this turned out just about as expected... glad I am not the only one who sees the usual market dynamics and rolls their eye about it.
1. Problem
2. Solution
3. Sticker shock
4. Excuses
5. Disappear
6. I know a guy!
7. Wheel spinning
8. Damage
9. Core scrapped
10. Hey, you still have that...
Short version, scan with scan tool. No comms?
Power on PCM C1 [Black] Pins 2 & 22, Ground on 31/32 with key in RUN? Yes?
PCM is dead. Contact below for a replacement. In stock.
Pretty much all stories that start like yours end with "Your PCM is toast".
Turn the key on. What does your fuel pump do?
Scan for codes, able to scan?
If the answers are "Fuel Pump does not prime, or "turns on and wont shut off"... PCM.
If you cant scan for codes... PCM.
Check for...
UPDATED: MORE SERVICES!
Not only do we have the ability to repair BCMs, but now we can clone, duplicate from scratch, correct software, VIN & Odometer discrepancies [WITH DOCUMENTATION].
Gone are the days of tossing in some fraud-riddled salvage yard BCM with the wrong VIN and mileage loaded...
New not available last check. I can rebuild them provided the module body & plastic components are in good condition. Just shoot me an email with exactly what is going on.
Just to toss it out there if anyone has any use...
I have a complete Gen-2 OEM ABS, low mile brake set in NY that I will have access to once I get up there in June. Calipers, pads, rotors, lines... all four corners. Would love to sell it all as a set and keep it simple.
You have to remember, just because your module is tagged as a 705AB, does not mean thats actually what it is. If someone else reflashed it in the past, its likely no longer a BUX controller.
For G1 cars, the module needs to be modified, and its number inside/outside would be changed in the...
There are many sources for take-off OEM parts. I would never install that fiberglass junk. Wait for an OEM.
Reminds me of when I dealt with a fiberglass Hennessy fascia decades ago. First and last. Never again.
Correct. Any of those off the shelf controllers and files I can duplicate in minutes, nothing that is worthy of spending extra money for a backup copy.
This is mainly for aftermarket head/cam and power adder cars that no longer have easy access to calibration files. Pretty much anything built...
For a *Gen2*, nothing, provided the code was changed over to a USA based variant in the process (which not everone will allow)... and in fact we can do this with SCT for those that dont just want a direct flash and be done with it.
For Gen1, its a completely different set of circumstances, as...
Holy Misinformation Batman!
This is becoming an often repeated, blown out of proportion fear tactic perpetuated by people who dont have the knowledge base or skills to avoid the problem, but would LOVE to sell you a Motec that you dont really need.
Fact: The JTEC controller is the most...
It is a well known and well documented fact that BUX cars are significantly down on power. Their own HP sales figures confirm the same.
That said, BUX did not exist all years. First year versions with major changes did escape many of the BUX configurations. I have seen no 1992 BUX equipment...
As pointed out above, thats a super basic install.
Personally... I would work a good deal, have it inspected, buy it, and then pull and sell the Paxton..... end result is a dirt cheap and excellent condition, very rare color combo car.
I know you meant winter storage, but I didnt know there were no available outlets.
The same advice stands. Better to pull the battery and bring it inside and let the car sit untouched.
Alternatively, you can use a battery powered inverter to power a maintainer, and then bring the inverter...
Definitely doing more harm than good. Run the car up to temp, bring it home, cover and store it on a tender. No need to start and run it more than once a year, and only do it when you have the ability to run and drive the car. If you are actually utilizing the car, fine... but dont do it for the...
So, you have a car that is running tip top, right? Cool! Do you have a spare calibration file? Well, DO YOU?
I am seeing more and more this exact scenario play out:
"Hey DAN! My PCM is/has failed! I need a new one!"
-Sure, no problem!
"OK, only one thing... its a car that was built and...
As many know, and some still dont... we supply a huge portion of the controllers and remanufacturing for the Viper market. We are now offering a new service, specifically for all of the Export controllers out there.
If you own a Viper that was built for the European market, you may be...
First, I cannot speak to the GM design. They may have different pump volumes, clearances, pump height over oil level, etc.
Second, 10-20 seconds of cranking to get any pressure at all is literally 5x longer than you would get just starting the engine... and I can assure you, results in more...
1. Oil drops to the lowest point in bearings, and pools. It does not "dry", it thins. This is enough to BRIEFLY avoid galling and material transfer, not build up an active oil film, and will quickly degrade and break down without active flow. This is no different than an engine that ran...
