That's my next step. Looking at timing and live data. Then in the distant future a good tune.I hear ya! Shouldn't have to run Ethel (old school, ha ha), just adjust timing and AFR in your calibration.

Exactly. A lot of hard work and hours went Into this. Thank you for the kind words now I just need to figure the ac. Its getting pretty hot over here in HoustonCongrats S5. You've played a blinder. It will be so rewarding driving that Suburban knowing it goes so well because of the effort you expended.
Ok a/c being wierd. So heres the symptoms. First start up ac works normal and blows cold. After idling for a good while the compressor just stops and I loose ac again. Give it some hours to relax and the process starts all over again. Any ideas what I should check first??? I felt like if it was low on freon it would run on and off a lot and constant instead of acting normal until 30 to 40 min later and then just stop...
I'm gonna go to harbor freight get a guage set . If the pressures are not at the normal levels after a while what would that indicate? Low freon, bad air flow, weak compressor??First thing I would try (other then seeing the pressure while it is running, but that's just habit) is to bypass the low side switch and see if the compressor comes on. I'm assuming the pressures are in expected ranges for the situation.
Pretty sure I saw Schurkey post recently that a misfire on #3 on a Vortec is usually due to a bad cap.Plugged in my cheapo code reader and found that cylinder #3 has a misfire detected. Sel hasn't came on but it explains why the motor idles and sways. I bet it's a wire or the cap.
I hope so. Guess I'll try that and a new rotor. I also wanna plug a scanner and test the distributor to ensure it's at 0 for the camPretty sure I saw Schurkey post recently that a misfire on #3 on a Vortec is usually due to a bad cap.
I'd have to see the pressures to give you a direction. Don't make the rookie mistake, both valves need to be closed when checking the pressures.I'm gonna go to harbor freight get a guage set .

First chance I get I'll let you know what I find. Thanks for the help.I'd have to see the pressures to give you a direction. Don't make the rookie mistake, both valves need to be closed when checking the pressures.
My GUESS it won't be catastrophic since it works sometimes. Most likely something simple on the compressor control side.
