^^^ a totally agree, one thing, please use the back panel and skinny bumpers of the 240Z on what ever you do

Will they create engine malfunctions or driveability issues

Did the scan , code P0118 = eng coolant sensor was the fix, new sensor in place , drove her 50 miles at a slow pace and fast pace , code gone, she runs fine, radiator fans hits at temperature with no more engine hesitation. There are other codes , P0480 and P0481 both are related radiator fan functions , P0704 related to clutch mal function , P0803 up shift malfunction . The radiator fans are operated by an external autol relay and a manual switch for A/C operation. the tranny and clutch are fine , I ASK, DO I NEED TO BE CONCERN WITH THESE 4 CODES and can they be erased, I want the red CEL off

^^^ I think your right it must be a coincidence, the scan will reveal the problem, that engine has about 40k miles(20K when the conversion was done, 10K with David and I put the rest), I only use premium gas, when the PO did the conversion he did put new plugs , it is all stock, oil changes using Mobil 1 synthetic, the reroute of the vent tube to the heater return hose to the water pump is a popular alternative functional mod. She does not like slow paces in hot weather, well I hope that it is a minor remedy, uncomplicated and easy on the wallet

The magic # for a none runing/bad interior/with title/minor rust/bad rails 280 = 1,5000.00 $, that figure will put both seller and buyer in the comfort zone . FWIW

It gets like that in the Baltimore/Washington DC corridor , see why I need pointers to remedy my " acting a la L24 vapor lock mode " any tips from you

I had the same malware notice last night

I have A/C , but she is running like S*&^T in slow traffic on these super hot days in The Land of Mary

That will burp the system , I will do that, good tip On LS1tech that mod came up as a good alternative. A scan will be done this weekend . Like I mention this " acting like an L24 in vapor lock mode " is erratic, it might not be related to the reconnect ( the pinch the hose to see if goes away trick will be performed), the issue has happen when she is in slow traffic with hot weather, she runs fine otherwise

They indicate an O2 oxygen sensor failure , the brain box will be scan to see what codes are present . Prior to the steam vent reconnect no issues, bubbles out of coolant not sure, the coolant temp sensor could also be bad, let the scan detect what is going on.

BUMP ............ for prime time,in hopes to solve this issue.

^^^ here http://forums.hybridz.org/topic/111238-steam-vent-tube-on-ls1/ related

The steam vent tube had a plug as in many LS1 swaps but I wanted to play it safe due to all the controversy on this delete, all I did was to reconnect it back to the cooling system on the return heater hose to the water pump. Before this reconnect no problems, that new rad has over 4k miles on her. She acts like she is getting no gas when she reaches temperature , wants to stall , feels like an old L24 with vapor lock. She has run fine with no issues , over 8K miles since in my care, what could cause this miss behaving, pointers are welcome

I reconnected the steam tube line back to the cooling system due to all the controversy Now I have an erratic issue , when she reaches temp she feels like an old L24 in vapor lock mode. My radiator has an auto fan relay set at 170 , it hits the dual fans at temp for a very short time less than a minute and it cools fast, When she acted like getting no gas I checked the temp with my temp/laser thermometer upper hose read 190. radiator read 160, lower hose read 170. When this happened a few days ago I was in slow traffic and 90 degree weather and yesterday under the same conditions.What I did in order to prevent a stall I ran the fans with my manual switch . So I ask what is happening .

^^^ So you are reconverting to a stock L series motor and tranny, so why the need in an LS1/t56 shop , any reputable shop can pull the SBC out and reconvert the car
