um... HELP!!!! please
i've got big big problem/s and i'm looking for suggestions.. I just had the intake manifold off my 96 lsi to replace broken vacuum hoses and pcv valve, also did spark plugs, f/r diff fluid, and trans fluid... got it all back together and now every gear is flareing like crazy, hunting for gears on decel and cuts engine power at 5000prm or 80mph as the check engine light simultaneously comes on then immediately goes off... the needles on the tach and speedo jump around randomly.. at steady speed 40mph and steady throttle, the tach goes from 2500-4000 and everywhere in between, and the speedo from 40-60 and in between... feels like i have no "pull" in any gear..what the hell is going on.. the car ran beautifully before all this.. now in has developed a "twitch" and "jerk" any ideas... or am I just royally screwed.. help me, i wanna go to fontana NC this coming weekend
battery has been disconnected while work was done, so the ECU has been cleared and reset all vacuum hoses are now good all fluid levels are good everything else is bone stock no lights/ check engine or codes..just craziness going on

all the electrical connections are good... all the vacuum hoses are good... maybe i should break them off again, cause the car was runnng great while a few of the hoses were busted, how do you pull the CEL codes.. i've tried and i can't get the light to blink at all using the method in the how tos.... might break down and take it to medleys auto to get it read on their super diagnotic comp thingy.. man i don't want to take it all apart again

Sounds like either a ground or speed sensor issue. I've been working on a number of other makes lately - Nissan, Volvo, etc. - and they have grounds at the intake manifold. Is the SVX similar?

if it ran fine before, you took things apart, and now its not running right, guess what? YOU most likely did not connect something back up (or damaged something - hopefully not). maybe go over everything again very carefully looking for connectors or hoses that aren't connected.

<< member playing dumb
Just joking around for the pure essence of comic relief. I'll be out of town Fri-Sun at the Dragon.. other than that.. you should have my home number if you ever do decide a free trip to Hooters sounds good. take care until such a time arises, or if/when you get together with aredubjay to "work" on the SVXi, give me a ring
Congrats on the 3k... I'm Honored that it took place on my thread....
