Ok so my Tib is going back in the shop!! AGAIN!!! Either the wheel baring is going out again or the wheel hub is going out or both! If its the wheel baring luckily its still covered under the shops one year warrenty from when we got it replaced a few months ago! If its not the baring and its the hub I might have to spend only about $70 or so! Wilbur is also buying a new fuel pump for my car tomorrow so hopefully that will fix the problem it had on the dyno back in March where it had some fuel cuts, we also have one of the two O2 sensors we still gotta order the second one and hes also gonna put my header on as well!! Im excited but nervous of the whole situation to see how much if any I will have to pay!
I love my car but god sometimes I just wanna push it off a cliff! LOL!!
Wilbur was saying that most people do the small little replacements first the more inexpensive ones first and than the bigger ones last like engine and transmission and than they're pretty much done except for small maintenance stuff and fun stuff like amp and subs...I told him I did mine the opposite of everyone else, I got the engine and big stuff first and now Im doing the sh!t ton of small stuff (o2 sensors, fuel pump, cosmetic stuff, etc.) so hopefully I am almost done....HOPEFULLY!!!

That sucks but hopefully you'll finally get it taken care of now. Think how much fun your car will be with double the horsepower!
I can understand what your going trough with that. Been sitting on an untunned car for months now and I go to finally get it tuned and everything goes wrong and Im still not tunned. But yes double the horsepower is always something to mke you push further...lol

yeah on both pulls on the dyno the power drop (you can feel it bog down a little bit, when you give it gas on the road) is in the exact same spots which makes us think its the fuel pump or fuel issue!
Wilbur bought a fuel pump today, we thought it was gonna be $280 for a kit but with his school discount it was only $93 and some other part that was needed for it was only like $15!! I was sooo excited bout that!!

I know its an old thread, but in case anyone was reading this the problem ended up being a completely clogged CAT. Over 20psi of backpressure. As far as I know the car is still running fine after a new CAT was installed.

Yeah her Tib is running good now, only code is an O2 sensor heater circuit issue.
97redtib asked me to say that she misses everyone but she hasn't been on because she lost her job and had to turn off the internet.
