so got the helms manual and a good mechanic and we went thru it- o2 sensor was throwing a code 1 and 43 becuase of a short in the connections. we took the sensor out and redid the connections and cleaned it out-
CAR RUNS PERFECT NOW
pulls hard thru all rpms. also redid the valve cover gasket with sealant and repainted it. cleaned all the connectors and such. im very happy with it and am probably going to keep it unless an offer i cant refuse comes through.
im happy
