| Welcome aboard. The car looks sweet. Not that I am a huge fan of Lambo Doors, but I can't wait to see how they work up close. | |

| Welcome aboard! What's ya name guy? You'll see there are groups of guys here that are totally stock, and then there's the group that modify for performance, and then there's the group that modify EVERYTHING! you'll find there's a place for pretty much everyone here.
Nothing wrong with an L99 engine...'there is at least 2 of them here!

| i always thought that was sketchy does it happen to be the same bolts that held down the bracket for the original homeplate? the whole reason i bought the air intake i have was because who ever had the car before me just had the homeplate resting on top of the motor and now that you say that i just went dug up the folder the kid gave me when i bought it and what do ya know there's a receipt for fuel rails.Im going to guess he was just to lazy to bolt it all back down This is honestly my first non carb car that wasnt just a woods beater so i never would have noticed haha thanks man | |

They hold the rails to the intake. |

I just looked into those. I'm pretty sure they're 6-1X35's - toomanytoyz wrote:

| Did you bolt down the fuel rails? All connections on the CAI tight? All vacuum hoses intact and connected?

| yea i got them bolted down the other day before i registered it and i havent touched anything on the motor since it was last on the road and it ran/drove perfect. i went out for a drive an hour ago and it was fine tomorrow im doing a fuel filter and going over the engine bay. the only time its done anything like this was after i hit a huge puddle so im thinking moisture got in the opti again | |

| Lonnie, it'll drive/run fine in fair weather. Trust me. I did this for a while in the gold car before I found the problem. Check your ground harness that bolts to the ignition coil mounting stud on the drivers side head. I found that when I poured water on it, the car stopped running. Wouldnt start up until dry. I took it all apart, sanded greased taped everything. I also repaired 2 broken terminals which could have been the problem. Either way I was stumped after I did the opti on it with no luck. Try the cheap fixes first. If you need help text me. | |
