There has been this random no response when I go to turn the car on. It had happened about 3 times since I have been driving it. Mess around, on/off, on/off and then the SwitchPro on my dash lights up and I am able to start the car. Ran a bunch of the starting stuff through said Swichpro. Finally when I was about 40 mins away and after having been at work, the thing would not start. Would not power up. Ugh! Had to get it towed and now what the heck. The gentleman who did the wireing came over in the AM and asked if I had tried to start it that morning…. Starts right up!!

So I had bought the SwtchPro so long ago to enable to make the dash and figure out where the computer would fit under the dash. Once done just put it in the shelf until the day would come for wiering.

Decided to pull out the computer and send it back to the company to have them test it.

Turns out that they could replicate the problem and the it had a faulty power module. But now it was out of warranty and would now cost an extra $330 to get it fixed. Found the problem si I was happy it wasn’t some mystery problem, but now had to pay $

I decided to plead my case w SwitchPro. Talked about the build, only 1000miles on it, pictures, and hopes that perhaps they would extend the warranty for my particular case.

They did! It’s on its way back now free of charge! Natalie is the bomb.
Longtime back I sent back some wiering to them to have them shorten it. Asked the cost. They had already sent it back shortened for free.

I am onboard with SwitchPro! Killer product coupled with killer service. They are gonna be around for a longtime.

Natalie couldn't resist the allure of the Pig...

So have been struggling with two things. In a cold start I have to throttle until the car is warmed up otherwise it just dies. The other is randomly when I come to a stop it will just drop off and die.
I had a port on the back side of the intake that I had capped, so I thought it best to check it again. It was loose and spinning around.
Took it off and repositioned it around the base so that it fit solidly.
FIXED! No more having to throttle when cold and no more random dieing when coming to stops.
At least so far! I just love me some easy fixes!!

Was that the vacuum port?

 

[xtiaan2000]

I don’t know. It is about the diameter of a nickel and faces the firewall.

 

[scrapdaddy]

I believe that is a vacuum port for the brake booster. I forget if you're running with hydro boost brakes?

 

[RUSH55]

Might need to seal around that port with something to keep it stuck in there.

 

[xtiaan2000]

Hydrobrakes
Yes, I’m gonna keep an eye on it. Got a better rubber cap on it now that should be solid.

x2, wondering what that port is for.
Pics?

 

[scrapdaddy]

Pablo, that's where Chevy gets the vacuum for the brake booster. When going to hydro boost, you have to plug that port.

Just got the radio/ reverse camera in.
Think I am done with my dashboard

Kinda bummed out the rear rubber.

 

[RUSH55]

Dash and interior looks great man!

Sucks about the weatherstrip. Was that a piece from the group buy from RSA?

 

[xtiaan2000]

Thanks on the dash.

Yes, the rubber is from the group buy. The stuff is nice and plyable and seems to be quality. Just these corner pieces are not great.

 

[scrapdaddy]

Same as Slocruisers. It's like they used a different rubber for certain pieces. Vent window gasket and the fixed glass rear door rubber, all deteriorate quicker than the rest. I don't know why?

Something to do with Chinese rubber. Something about its composition is lacking resistance to UV, and basically time. Tons of rubber products/parts I’ve bought and also bought by my company have deteriorated in 1/100th of the time the original pieces.

 

[scrapdaddy]

What a shame!

 

[Ol Yeller]

Yeah the rubber thing is not just automotive applications, lots of it is junk these days

 

[xtiaan2000]

I think I have a problem but then…

Found these guys in the trash! They just seem to work here!!!

Discarded Bathroom stainless rails

They seem to be something that will make my life easier! Not that great of a picture :/
