So we figured out we had a bad injector. I ordered a new one from Rock Auto and it was stuck open and gas washed the cylinder yesterday after I installed it. Today we went down to a local GM dealer and $150 later we had a new, working injector. Here is a video of us getting it fired back up and burning out all the residual fuel in the exhaust system....

Congrats on the fix. :thumbsup:

Saw the vid. As far as the driveway...it'll buff out, right?

:peepwall:



:D

lol I sure hope so

Yikes! Is the motor ok?

Very good find! Most guys figure out they have an injector problem that's stuck open, when they turn the key, and a rod makes a new hole in the block, because the cylinder has fuel puddled in it.

Yeah everything is fine now. Fortunately we were able to figure this out soon enough and get it all fixed before any real damage was done. We drove it to its first car show last night about 25 miles away. It did great considering it still needs a final tune. Overall we are really happy with the way the car turned out. Best of all, my Dad gets to drive it now and enjoy it fully. Its been almost 4 years in the making and this is a great payoff. Special thanks to Mom, Dad, my brother Andy and also to my wife Amy for putting up with my absenteeism lately while I got the car finished. :thankyou:

That's so awesome to hear!!!:thumbsup:
