Finally found the stutter
After a couple of months with the famous "stutter" I finally found what the real problem is. Cylinder #8 has 75 psi.... Must of washed the cylinder out due to being so rich and damaged the rings. Now to figure out what to do. I'll probably sell the car and suck it up.......

Wow!!! I can't believe Moosejaw would sell you his car knowing it was like that!
Maybe he should give you back some of the money or help pay for the repair
Especially since you installed his intake on his truck for free

I dont know what to make of your comments or if you have a gripe with me.
C55asleep? and i go back almost 10 years. In fact i took the picture of his signature pic.
Do you honestly think i would sell any freind of mine with a bad #8 cylinder? I disclosed everything that was wrong with it including the tune issue. C55asleep? spoke with Nemo about the car. The car spent the last six months of its life in shop after shop in the hands of incompetent mechanics. The same incompetent mechanic that built your ride and is now building Racing Porsche s in West Palm Beach.
C55asleep? and I talked already.
Thanks for calling me out.

Drew, Elliot and I have been friends for a short time true. But he's tried helping me out as much as possible. I didn't make this thread to **** on anyone but rather to inform people to look a little further than a thottle problem. You know as well as I the car had an issue since I bought it from you. The conclusion was the tuning. But in fact it wasn't. The worst ****ig part is my wife is a month away from having my son so that puts a big strain on me mentally and physically and screws me finiaclly. But **** happens. Hopefully it helps someone else down the line. The old tuner (not mentioning names) tuned it for hours and he couldn't figure it out? Really? *** it **** happens.... Lots of tuners and some can't even help......

You can keep blaming Nemo for whatever you want. He only did what you paid for. Or should I say dragged the payment. The same way you dragged the payment when you bought my headers. Stop blaming others because you tried to do everything as cheap as you could.

When we were chowing down at Hooters back in April, you didnt mention this to me?
Explain to me how i did things cheap or failed to fix? Can you name one?
Explain to me why I should have floated Nemo money when he wasn't done with my car? My car was in his shop for months. This is the first time i'm hearing that you or nemo had problems with this? Ive never tried to negotiate someones price. I did everything on my car that was recommended. Do you dispute that?
I paid Nemo when he needed money and when he asked for it that day. Sorry to say he was extremely slow with my car and after C55asleep? uncovered things it turns out Nemo could of cared less and did things unprofessionally. No one could tell me what was wrong with the tune. Not Nemo, not jerry at EC.
I can call you names too but honestly.... I dont know why you are mad at me? I cant think of a bad thing to say about you but it sounds like its a dead issue anyways. You were a good friend to me Elliot and i supported you where I could. I've never talked bad about you in any shape or form. I've come out to every event when I could that you were gracious enough to host. I'm sorry it came to this. If the late header payment bothered you then you should have let me know bc you didn't say anything and when you told me you needed the money I paid you promptly.
You want to kick my *** for whatever reason it is, then you can come find me.

Andrew, **** happens. Like I told you on the phone, someone screwed you and it followed along to me. Someone turned the blind eye and acted stupid or knew something and didn't elaborate. These Fuking guys dynoed it for hours and they couldn't figure out what it had wtf? I looked at it for 30 minutes and knew something was wrong Andrew. Brotha I work on diesel trucks I have no idea on these cars and I saw something was wrong. Obviously with help of Elliot and lenny we narrowed it down but this guy (old tuner) I don't know.... And tony tried helping out as well. Sad part is I worked with one of the tuners back in 2006 when he wasn't ****..... Now I'm fuked with a big bill

Swap in a stock short block strip all the parts the car has now sell them and sell the car in stock form as possible. You'll be able recover all or more of your money will just take some time. Best of luck, it's just a car and some dollars. Don't let it stress you about family or friends

Andrew, I really did try to be friends with you. But if you are that self centered, that you don't realize some of the things that you say and do insult people, that's on you. I'm not going to look for you. Im going to keep living my life. Like I always do.
Nemo may have needed money, but I sure as hell don't. You know that. I've just grown very tired of people taking advantage of him. He's too nice and won't say anything. I've watched people bully him and then blame him. Smh
Take it how you want, but a real friend would be helping the problem instead of passing the blame. Especially a 10 year friend. JS

I know it's just a car, but going into this car after spending 15k plus into a GN I have a horrible taste in my mouth. The least I thought for a 65k mile engine was to have to repair it. At the end I'll have to figure something out... I spent funds on one tuner then another 400 plus on another it start adding up lol

I'm more than likely going to sell it. Put it in my signature if someone is interested. I put lots of new parts upon purchasing it. Interior is great, both headlights are brand new oem. Still have the boxes with the old ones. Alternator is new oem. And a few other parts. I have two sets of 550cc injectors I'll throw in as well as one other part I had just bought but hadn't had a chance to install. I'm asking 15k don't know if it's in line or not but we will see considering the condition of the car. I'm not going to let it go for 10k I rather let it rot. Thanks

Al right so any how guys.....lets see what we as forum members can do. FIRST> Do a leak down test and a wet and dry compression test just so you have an idea of what your going for.I would also use a bore scope and take a look in side. Having as much information as you can going in "prepares" you for whats to come and that will help you "mentally" if you know what I mean.
Pull the engine and inspect the cylinder. It could very well be that the rings have lost there tension....and that would be fantastic because it would be an easy...sort of...fix. Remember this....if it hase not been smoking and this problem has been going on for a long time I would think the cylinder wall is not trashed or it would have been showing some very bad signs.
