Hey guys, my brother just picked up an 88 cutlass ciera for a chain and go class and the motor is gutless, has no power, have to flutter the pedal before it picks up any speed (which isnt much), after sitting awhile it has a hard time starting and have to use some starting fluid. After you run it to temp and shut it off it starts back up, but after sitting for a few minutes and engine still warm it does it again and have to spray some more into it. Anyone have a clue what it may be? Fuel pump is weak. Most of the fuel injection requires more psi to start than run. Would explain why you have to use starting fluid , and why it has no power.

If it's NOT a 4T60E or 4T65E no hot wiring required.

Hey guys I got a 94 or 95 century with the 3100 in it. I also have my junk lumina from last year which is a 96, would the CV axles or struts work from the lumina on the century? Or anything else for that matter that'd be worth it to swap.

Or anything else for that matter that'd be worth it to swap. without major mods, struts won't work. Cv's are different I believe. Look up part numbers for both cars and see if it's the same number. I believe the outer joints are different.

I looked it up,struts are different. And by looking at the cars the lumina is a tank compared to the century. But the CV axles have the same part number. I'm Guessing there probably exactly the same so doesn't psy to swap them. I don't think I can do much besides strengthen tie rods and bolt a chain around strut to frame so when it brakes it don't just flop over.

Well I finally figured out by carb setup I made the intake for the 3300 put a monojet off a 69 chevy 250 and hot wired the coil pack with only a + - wires and the crank sensor two wires. Ran very good. Canoes the trunk with no notch and that was a bad idea it plowed quick. Struts had pipe on the inside but one bent at the top where rod meets housing. Front did very well still straight turn the 70s sport bumper inside out it was seem welded. This is second run and with new bumper and rear pulled up ready for another but I burnt up a coil pack again. Any body else having this issue?
