Need some engine work in Texas

SleepyMax1 · 09-30-2009, 04:16 PM

I'm looking for someone whom is capable and knowledgeble of 3.5swaps to work on my car. I purchased the car with the swap already done, and its just not doing it for me... I use to have the time to really get into it and get down and dirty, but with work I just cant find the time anymore. I dont trust or feel local mechanics can take on the job, most speed shops around here specialize in hondas..

Car is lacking power, it does throw codes... (havent checked them in a while)

I'm looking for either a shop or a reliable DYI mechanic in the following areas:

Corpus
Houston
San Antonio
Austin

I can deliver the car, and leave it for any amount of time. I just want this car to run, car does have a few mods...

If interested please PM and we can go from there.

help me out here. is it a full swap or is it using 3.0 hardware? What are the problems and mods? 4th or 5th gen? when you say lacking power, is it low end or top end & what has been done so far?

its using 3.0 hardware

its a 4thgen

Lacking power is all around...

Here are is the original mod list and thread I put up a while back:

0504 Automatic Transmission Control Unit Signal to ECU
0802 Crank Position Sensor
0205 Idle Speed Control
0401 Intake Air Temp Sensor
0407 Crankshaft Position sensor (reference)
0801 Vacuum cut balve bypass valve
0703 Three Way Catalyst (left bank)
0902 Undefined
0903 EVAP Canister vent control valve
1005 EGRC Solenoid valve
1008 EVAP canister purge volume control valve
1302 MAP/BARO SW Solenoid/Valve
0803 Absolute Pressure Sensor
1101 Inhibitor Switch

15.205 best time, with 4.5 gen auto....

Only difference from then, is.... we did the SSIM and the car has a 2.5 exhaust straight thru. If I recall correctly I fixed the CPS, but I still get the CPS (ref), I'm going to try replacing the oil pan to a 3.0 to see if that changes.
