    Viper Loses Brakes During Turn

    Several years ago I remember seeing a video of a viper losing its brakes entering a turn in 4th gear. The viper ends up rolling 5 times. I seem to remember that the passenger was a quite well known instructor. The video was removed. The explanation I heard for removing the video had to with...

    tachometer reading 98 gts?? fuel pump??

    Cavitation is a term that is usually used to describe what happens to the leading surface of an impeller when it is rotated at excessive speed in a liquid. A common place for this to occur is on a boat's impeller. What happens is that the fluid can not accelerate fast enough to follow the...

    Subgunman, 1) Did you ever get your idle resolved? 2) What is your first name? (Or business name.) I thought I new all the smg dealers here in Dallas, having bought a few my self... Never realized any of them were Viper owners.

    Anyone know how many Pulses per Output shaft rotation?

    Hmm.. Weird... The number that I got from my math based on data measurements, was 23 pulses per 7 revolutions.. Or 3.285 for each one revolution. Big difference from 4 per revolution. Which just couldn't be possible... Maybe my car isn't running the stock 3.07 rear axle ratio? BTW the...

    Anyone know how many Pulses per Output shaft rotation?

    Hi, I'm trying to hook some instrumentation up to my Viper's speedometer input/transmission speed sensor output. I am trying to figure out how many pulses there are per output shaft rotation of the transmission. This must be an integer. Anyone know? Thanks!

    Anyone Have Their Gas Pedal Get Stuck Before?

    It happens to me all the time. Turns out to be a problem with my right foot. Not covered under warranty.

    The ultimate fixer-upper?? (has link now :) )

    I've seen this car in person at TMR. I talked with the present owner (nice guy). I also talked with the instructor. Sounded to me like a terrible track car. BTW Jay Lopez, from our North Texas VCA was the instructor.

    5 point harness?

    Not in my wildest dreams could I imagine ever getting a ticket for this, and I've even had a ticket once for no high beam indicator. Reality test: Has anyone out there ever received a ticket for this? I didn't think so.

    I'm in trouble now. She just doesn't get it.

    Re: I\'m in trouble now. She just doesn\'t get it. Install it in a steel bodied Viper, and you'll have an anti-matter car!

    Crankshaft Pulley Mess

    I usually recommend changing the engine oil after a car has overheated. Oil breaks down very fast at elevated temperatures. Why take a chance?

    Yes, and you should also cut off their little finger and include it with the ransom note.... errr... sorry... wrong board.

    Thinking of changing color on my Viper

    I think WRECKING a Viper is a greater crime. (The PO did it!) Anyway, I do sometimes feel guilty about the color change. The same sort of guilt I feel when I never get around to calling after spending the night with some girl. The guilt is worth it, in both cases...

    Wrecked Vipers, Salvage Titles & The Evil Insurance Empire

    Just think about how much more money they could save by installing a high revving 4 cylinder engine like in the Honda S2000 instead of that V10!

    DRB plug in point ?

    If you mean the ODBII, it is at the left wall of the area were your feet go. (For USA cars with the steering wheel on the left where it belongs!) Just on the inside of the car, roughly where the door hinges attaches.

    Thinking of changing color on my Viper

    I went through the exact same quandary. Click on the avatar for details. Conclusion: Color change will probably cost me $3K in resale value, because it seems that Blue/White cars carry a slight premium. I'm not sure the same is true for red cars. I always wanted a yellow/black car, and...

    Looking for viper parts, Who should I call?

    Do your research CAREFULLY or you might end up paying way to much, but think you got a good deal. One approach you can use is to post the quoted prices here, and ask people if they think you are getting fair prices and a good deal. If the vender has a problem with that, something sounds fishy...

    Hey Pilot Ryan, Your City and State, and X-band location would be helpful with your comment about X-band. Unless that's top secret?

    Will O2 sims correct an over-rich condition at high revs/loads

    There will always be a check engine light on when the car is in limp home mode. Basically the PCM figures out there there must be a malfunction with a sensor, so it goes to the most conservative guess at fuel and spark advance to minimize possibility of damage to your engine. This usually...

    02 sensors?

    If there is a significant different between left and right side plugs this definitely suggests a fault somewhere in your system. I'd guess a bad O2 sensor. If you were in Dallas I'd lend you my OBDII enhanced monitor made by EASE. It allows you to read all the sensors while driving around...

    Will O2 sims correct an over-rich condition at high revs/loads

    No, O2 Sims will not correct your rich condition at WOT. Sims only make the PCM THINK that there are cats installed and working correclty. It will prevent the check engine light from comming on. BTW not all check engine lights cause "limp home mode". A failure of a cat or the skip shift...

    Running Rich

    I've tried to get some good technical info on the unichip, and all I found was marketing hype. Not even any pricing information. Do you know what the system costs? And did they provide you any real techinical information? What sensors and outputs does it splice into?

    02 sensors?

    How are you noticing a rich condition on the passenger side? And Yes, a faulty O2 sensor could cause a bank of cylinders to run rich or lean. The left and right are the same, but I'm not sure if the front and rear ones are the same. Normally a modern O2 sensor will last more than 100K miles.
