Re: Really bad boost spike
Is a good test, to see if the boost solenoid is bad, to connect the WG to the compressor housing? That should set it at WG spring levels correct?

I had a boost spike condition before but I had a hollowed out cat. I was...

I have a question regarding setting the timing. With the brown wire connected it was off the charts as far as timing goes. With it...
I need to do a tune-up on the Sy and I have a few questions. I just got it from my father in law so I am a bit new to the ignition systems on these trucks and what is best for them. Here is the list of parts that I am going to get:

rotor
plugs

Can anyone recommend a GOOD trans shop in the SFO Bay Area.
Has anyone had good/bad experience with PTS Extreme Trans in Sacramento ???
Thanks in advance

Yeah that may be a good temporary solution. I would like to eventually solve the problem if at all possible. I like the idea if getting a 93 console so I can retain the stock one in its original state.
