Attaining a set of Jim Morehouse CD's should be in your future... a hardcopy of the work shop manuals wouldn’t hurt either. Here is at least one source of the CD's (I think there maybe others): http://s287999742.e-shop.info/shop/a...t.html?pse=apq
Not sure about these, but the price is nice:

A while back I picked up a set of workshop manulas for $200… great investment, but I think this set is way overpriced. Just keep an eye out for a set of these:

Also, following are a couple of handy links. Some of my favorites are Tony’s… see the drop down boxes near the bottom… full of all kinds of gems:

Other gems hiding in here:

Be sure to add these to your favorite bookmarks now... you'll thank me later.

OK Hilton... so I unplugged MAF. Ran the car. It runs worse with MAF unplugged. Not only was the car stalling out to the 300-400 rpm range, with the MAF unplugged the motor went hunting for rpms till it finally flamed out. So worse....
Being that the car stalled out no matter what temp... I wouldn't think the sending unit had any relation, but I checked it any way against resistance as you suggested. Both temp II posts had very similar resistance against ground. So..... still hunting for ideas.
A couple of clues that may help:
1) motor ran "fine" when we picked it up and drove home after purchase, and didn’t pick up this stalling attitude till the 3rd day, and I was half way across the desert on my way to UTAH. It was a very hot day, with AC on car temp was approaching 195. So I pulled off freeway to fill up and let her take a rest. On the off ramp, after about 6 hours of near perfect performance.... it died on the off ramp and been happening ever since. As I pull up to a stop light etc, it dies about half the time, other half rpms hang on long enough to stay alive.
2) I do seem to notice the slightest engine miss... being that I have no real point of reference, I am assuming the motor should have zero vibrational miss. I come from a BBC in my past life, (you can see my home page link for pics of the last car I build) and I’m use to large cams, but this...it’s definitely a miss across the entire RPMs. I planned on taking it down to Dave Lummis place in SLC to have him "feel" the pulse and see if I’m just being too sensitive etc.
So not sure if this has anything to do with the diagnosis, but usually all symptoms sometimes can turn on a light bulb... any feedback from all helpers is appreciated.
If not I guess I have to pull off the manifold to R&R ISV? I hate to pull manifold until my mistress and I get to know each other better first... I mean was only have 1,000 miles together and it may be a bit too soon to be rounding second base together.
Oh and here is a new pic today and I gave her a bath and a fresh wax.

Bring it by the shop, we will be glad to check it out for you. I would love to see the new GTS in Utah...we lost one when Bigs sold his. Time to get the count back up.
I may be interested in the brown one...I like the odd colors.
I thought I knew all the GTS's in Utah but another one just popped up, a 94' black/tan auto with 44k and it is for sale. I haven't seen it yet but by description, it's nice. I may already have a local buyer for it but it's never sold until it's sold.
BTW, a local Horizon blue GTS recently surfaced with 20k miles, it is a beautiful car!

Charley,
Your link did not work... its wants me to log into your AOL account. can you try resending in another format?
Also what wheels are you running on the GTS? Have any pics you can email me Waynes@email.com. I'd like to modernize my look and need to see what looks good and how they fit etc. thanks.
