Thanks guys, i wanted to buy the o2 from the local auto parts store but they dont carry ac delco
im also going to get ac delco wires, these zzp wires feel loose on the plugs. and yes i put new ac delco plugs in jason

unfortunately i left my stock wires on the old motor mike lol they were still good too

so im ordering from rockauto, there's two ac delco wiresets, which should i get?

 

After the wires have been installed/removed a couple of times the connectors can spread so they don't fit snuggly when pushed onto the plugs. You can carefully squeeze them back together with a pliers to obtain a better fit. I suggest wrapping the jaws of the pliers with some tape though so you don't accidently cut the boot with a sharp edge.

 

thats what i did but they still feel a little loose

 

I've run across that a few times. The tips of spark plugs vary in diameter with each manufacturer so sometimes you just can't get a good fit.

If you don't want to wait having a set of AC Delco wires shipped to you have a look at the Belden Premium wires sold at NAPA. Belden is a major supplier of wiring (including spark plug wires) for OE production and top shelf when it comes to quality.

 

im just going to order from rockauto mike

i did happen to have 3 ac delco wires laying around from this motor lol
i replaced the #6 zzp wire with the stock one and sure nuff did fix my misfire code!!!! runs like a beast now!! haha
There's also a minor squeeking on cold start from one of my pullies going to spray some lube on it and see if that fixes the problem lol
also my ac compressor wont kick in, it got wet from sitting outside... could it be bad from that? im going to refill it with refrigerant first, hopefully i wont need a new compressor

 

oh and i forgot to mention, my trans shifts sooo smooth now!! haha its awesome since i saved around $500 from buying another used trans

 

The compressor doesn't spin, but you need to refill?

The compressor won't work when it is low on freon to begin with. The freon has oil in it, without that it's a safety precaution not to spin.

Who knew those wires would have given you trouble...

 

Nope it's not kicking in when I turn the AC on. Checked the connection on it and the fuses just to be sure but still isn't working I'm going to get it checked out and hopefully it's just low on freon
Same thing happened on my silver monte... The compressor wouldn't come on so I added a can of freon and it worked haha

Lol as for the wires I guess they're garbage :P I didn't pay a whole lot for them anyways

 

My assumption is that you have no freon from disconnecting the whole engine

Once you get it filled up professionally it should kick on no problem

 

Loose wires, nice.... Well, that's an easy fix

HEY, that sqeal you mentioned, before spraying anything or going nuts, here's MY recommendation:
- Engine off (obviously) remove the belt
- Spin each pully by hand
- check for play in the pulley
- If no noise, play or anything perceived as abnormal, check the condition of the o-ring where the PCV sits. I know on the S2 UIM, I've read of people who had a noise that resembled a bad alternator pulley (internal bushing) and found it to be a missing or damaged seal on the PCV.

So far, I think this rig is sounding like a winner. HECK you can DRIVE it now!!!

Frank, I think you need to make travel plans for next June!!! That ride HAS to come up to the GM Nationals in Carlisle!!
