Will start surveying it more tomorrow, I hope Tory isn't sore. The right side just has a little wall paint on it. The stock fiberglass hood is pretty stout.

TPS70 Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 Thank all you guys! Since my mother left this earth in february and wont be able to phisically attend any more tps races, there was a strong desire this year and especially this mothers day to bring dedicate my all and bring her home a win. It was unspoken of me between my dad and lanny and just seemed to be accomplished as a given. The crew dialed in the car, mom was with me, and things fell into place. Thank you guys. If you havent done it yet, hug your mom, hug your dad, tell your family how much they mean to you. Life is too short to take anything for granted. Love you mom.

ToryC Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 Don't know yet what's ailing the 01. The exhaust pipe was all bent up like a pretzel, so I thought that was the problem. But when I took it off, the engine still bogs down and sputters out at about 5000 RPM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
97car Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 Check your fuel lines in the back make sure none are kinked. I had a coil go bad and do something like that before 5500 and it was like you had a governor on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THIS SOUND FUNNY TO SOME I BET ..BUT IF YOU TOOK A HARD HIT ..CHECK YOUR BATTERY ....I DONT KNOW IF YOU RUN AN ALTERNATOR THOUGH . IVE LEARNED JUST BECUZ IT WILL START THE MOTOR .IT CAN STILL BE MESSED UP .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a coil go bad and do something like that before 5500 and it was like you had a governor on it. Fuel lines look good. I'll try a different coil. It's like it has a limiter on it that kicks in at 5000 RPM and just won't go higher. I'll try going through all of the ignition - piece by piece - coil, distributor cap, rotor, plugs, wires... I'll look at the battery as well. Beyond that, I dunno... maybe the carburetor - accelerator pump? Weird part is that it was running great right before the crash. I'm thinking that somehow it's related - but maybe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
