Sounds to me like the OP needs to get under the car and inspect for the location of the leak before any further guesses or discussions of possibilities. |

If the BCA and BCS are working properly, and you don't have belt slip, it's physically impossible to have too little boost. It's not possible for a supercharger in our application to physically under-boost by itself. The only possibility is boost CONTROL. That comes down to the BCA function primaril... |

Dielectric grease won't 'fry' anything. VATS won't allow the car to even crank. There are two ground busses. Did you check them on both sides of the car? |

Moving to the proper section. There are some possible questions related to the fact that this is a swap: 1. Is your evap system tied in to the vacuum manifold as it was stock? This would be 'post inlet', not pre-inlet? Any boost indication would only be seen at the vacuum manifold closest to the nos... |

Don't forget that the GXP will be more expensive in terms of fuel due to the poor mileage in comparison to the SSEi. If you are performance-minded, the money put into the SSEi will easily spank the GXP in most performance categories. |

We need some clarification. The Olds 88 did in fact have the L36 engine (with a few little differences) in 1995, but the LSS had the Series 2 (Gen3) L67 supercharged engine as an option, and a good many were built that way in LSS trim. So which one do you have? As stated above, the transmission will... |

Look under the eprom for water damage. Fix your firewall with sheet metal, rivets, and sealant. That's a very critical safety device, not to mention structural. If my firewall was as you describe, I wouldn't let my wife drive the car or let my kids ride in it. Bad grounds can cause PCM confusion, bu... |

Book the car out with your zip code. Markets vary. We can't tell you what the car is worth. The link above will. I'm not sure why you posted this in the mechanical section for the previous generation, this isn't a 92-99, and it's not a mechanical problem. I'll move your topic to General Chat for you. |

I'm running the factory PCM and eprom in my 95 and have never had a problem. I've never known another member to need more than one replacement. Common sense dictates you have a deeper problem. Grounds, electrical problems wreaking havoc on the PCM, over charging or under charging, etc. Your PCM may ... |

I'm going to re-post something I said earlier to drive the point home: I hope you re-think your plans with your system, and if you don't, I hope you don't find a 600-amp solution, or even the 300-amp solution your system actually needs. Why? I have significant hearing loss due to my time in the Mili... |

1994 or 1995 ONLY. And if your car is eating that many PCM's, you have a deeper problem. |

That's correct. Still going strong after god knows how many years. He'll make a 200 amp for a 2k car, no problem. |

Then you have either a bad alternator, battery, or both. The demands you listed are not enough to overcome a 300 amp alternator. My 160 amp could drive that list with no problem. |

Some models of Bonneville have had this since 1992. I assume you don't have an owner's manual? You should make it a priority to get one. |
