Plain Jane OEM nothing to see here rebuild

[JustJeff]

After a monster flu bug and Christmas craziness I've finally gotten back to work on my car.

Got the car back to where it was a long time ago. Car starts up fine, idles nice and even. BUT it still has an exhaust leak. Or what I assume is an exhaust leak because I can't find anything else. IT also has an annoying high pitch noise on the passenger side. I suspect it's the BAC valve. I'll put in some time testing the BAC...maybe even get a video of the sound to get some opinions.

I may take it to an exhaust shop and let them put it on lifts, give my exhaust a clean bill of health and while at it have them bend my hangers on my RB exhaust. I have the typical driver side uneven hang on my mufflers.

I've still got a couple little issues that may or may not be exhaust leak related. I get a nice loud backfire on deceleration. I did remove the dashpot and put it back on. So it may need adjusting. I've also got a dead spot on my TPS when testing resistance while going closed to WOT. I'm going by memory on the FSM Ohms for TPS. For narrow range I have a nice solid reading from .8 to about somewhere around 2.0-3.0 then it hits a dead spot and pics back up for 4.0-6.0 for WOT. Full range seems fine.
