    Hell yeah! I installed the adjustable regulator and its running great. Gauge only reads 22-24 PSI. We tried upping it and it doesn't seem to go anywhere. Besides that we also calibrated the TPS and its working great. So those two codes are gone. Theres just one last code and I don't know what to do about it. It says as follows:

    44 Thermactor air system inoperative

    Wtf is this? I checked all of the vacuum lines and replaced the ones that were cracked or broken. It hasn't thrown this code up until now. Any thoughts?

    Hey Carl; If you take care of that problem, and you computer spits out another code at you buy yourself a new computer. It sounds to me, every time you fix a problem code your computer spits out another that wasn't there before. I've seen that happen too many times, you fix the problem than another code appears that wasn't there before. You say your car is running fine, but now you have another code that you didn't have before. Disconnect your battery, and leave your ground cable off for about 5 minutes just to make sure your codes clear. Now take the car for a drive, 15 - 20 minutes should do it. After you do that, give me a call and tell me what happens. If no codes come back, you should be alright. If the code comes back, and it's the same one than take care of the problem. If you have to fix it, and after driving for a while if your car spits out another code, replace your computer. Remember what I told you last night when you called me, Mike. Carl, just replace your computer or you'll be like a dog chasing his tail. Don't forget to give them your old one, because the core charge is more than the computer. Run the car for about one to two hundred miles, to give it time to learn everything. It should run fine, while it's learning than call me and let me know how it is, Mike. NO MODS TO LIST!!!!!!!

    Code 44 is the air pump system...

    Yeah Jaco I know this. I don't know what to tinker with. The TAB and TAD solenoids were replaced. Should the air bypass valve be touched?

    Carl; Disconnect the air bypass valve from behind the pump. Than start your engine, put your finger up to the elbow on top of the pump to see if you feel any air coming from the pump. Don't expect to feel a lot of air coming from the pump, it only pumps out 2.5 - 5 psi. I still think it's your computer, go back and check the original codes, than look at the ones you've had since, Mike D.
