my question is, can bent flywheel cause such CEL to come off?
symptom is prolonged engine start...
Since the pulley was replaced two years ago ..And if the flywheel was damaged from the install the hard start should have been since the install
As the CPS reads the teeth on the flywheel...also CPS sensors are a known problem on the v6 v8s

A factory flywheel lock workshop tool is used to remove the harmonic balancer bolt as well as when torqued on install

A defective CPS will set a code and cause the cel to light

I actually like how the pic came out. Shows that they were used HARD

Gold turning calipers blow! Time to paint them a different color now?

Great pics! BTW, how do our cars do on the track? Do they get respect in the racing circles?

MJ, you're too modest, you didn't mention (but you did show) your latest DIY mod... The coveted GOLD calipers

Glad I was there to witness it.

Does the car get heat soaked easily on the track with supercharger shut down?
