Matt's 2001 Firebird Convertible

I always hated that vinyl lettering that came on it and had planned on removing it, but didn't get around to doing it. Every time I opened the hood it would result in me finding something else to clean, inspect, etc. Lol.

Glad you posted up a thread. Your Firebird looks clean and those parts will make a nice difference in how it feels. I haven't driven mine much since putting it back to stock, but I can already tell how much looser and unresponsive it feels.

Thanks for the compliments. I try to keep it clean.

There are some curvy hillside roads near my house so I will be able to thoroughly test the new suspension.

The IAT grommet is not here yet so I think the lettering may disappear tonight.

Well, something got messed up with GM so my local dealer placed a second order for the IAT grommet.
It finally came in yesterday so I got the Whisper Lid installed last night. I did not drive the Firbird to work today but will hopefully get to try it out tomorrow.

those irritating small things

Looks good. Much better without the lettering too.

The lid definitely makes a difference. Not sure how much power changed, but it sounds much better above 3K.

@Pace: The letters just peeled right off with no residue. Also, you were right, it was not easy to get the IAT sensor into the grommet.

I had a short notice trip come up so everything will be on hold for a couple of weeks. Maybe I'll get some extra days off afterwards to make some headway.

For a week or so I was getting a SES light for codes P0171 System Too Lean (Bank 1) and P0174 System Too Lean (Bank 2).
I made note of the freeze frame and cleared the codes one time.
They came back and the freeze frame was very similar. I cleared one more time and the codes returned.
Today I replaced the fuel filter (who knows if this was ever done before) and made a test drive at the vehicle speed and engine RPM that triggered the codes before.
So far so good.
