[DDAMANTI]

OOOOOK sooo after getting her home and a couple fingers dirty....I come to realize....my tools will be worked... Although it ran great....these are the issues I ran upon thus far...

Falls on its face when it wants too...but not all the time...more often not then it does.
Plenty of fluid leaks...gaskets
Needs a bigger fuel pump( i have)
Needs tbolt clamps
Needs a flip up headlight and bulb

What you are about to read may not be suitable for the weak minded nor humans with weak stomachs. Keep in mind this is NOT my doings but merely a list of things I will be fixing as we build this beast .

First of all how do I get rid of this problem? I'm assuming its the kick down cable for cruise? I do not need cruise nor do I think its working .

As you can see Ill be needing new piping sooner or later...the o2 dump is eating through it I believe..As well as the Radiator on the other end of the piping

Two exhaust manifold studs/bolts missing..not sure if they are broke off in the head or not yet. Or if they are creating any issues.

I tried to elaborate my understanding of this setup...Let me know what you think..I think it has one to many "T" fittings. One being a homemade one and the other black one is actually a fitting with four ends on it with one being capped off.

I'm not sure if this will create any issues but tell me if I'm wrong..
One of the bolt holes is cracked and every bolt and nut is different.

I'm showing two plugs here both from the same harness...the bigger one is the MAF plug from the 2g MAF...whats that little two prong one? Important?

This guy.... oh my this made me laugh really hard...What you are looking at is the end of an air line used in garages ...with some type of homemade cap electrical taped together . This nifty contraption was used for the line running from the catch can to the intake pipe
Unfortunately I did not have anything to remedy this...but I did remove the tape and clamped down the "homemade" cap. Ill be looking for the real fix.

Here we have a intake tube failure....He wrapped the pipe with electrical tape so that the coupler would fit. I'd say another 200 miles and the turbo would have been eating tape.
BTW I didn't need any tools to remove this pipe..clamps were loose as a 2 dollar whore.

The fix....removed the tape...scrubbed her down with dish soap and slowly heated the coupler with a hair dryer while I tightened the clamp...fits snug and no leaking!! WOW! that was soooo hard

These two clamps were also rather loose....tighten them down

In need of a valve cover gasket...Picked it up today.

BTW I fixed the running issues...before it was falling on its face and sputtering bad...on top of the boost leaks I have learn that the MAF plug has to sit just right in the MAF sensor...can't be in all the way nor out all the way....juuuust right!


Thanks for looking....Ill have more pics and vids soon!!! If you have any intellect on my issues...I am open to all "2 cents"

Right below the unit is a black box? says bose tweeter center?...is that stock?

 

[egoboy706]

Welcome to the DSM community! I'm pretty new myself and my car is in a tad better shape but gl!! and as far as I know nothing bose came stock. I'm more familiar with the 95-99 models though so I could be wrong dont quote me.

 

[DDAMANTI]

anyone readin this have any insite?

 

[sobmurda]

Honestly if it was me I wouldn't worry about the system yet. Looks like the car needs to be diagnose to see if you don't have do much maintenance! How's the belts and everything for timing??

 

[DDAMANTI]

no the radio is simple install that why i went ahead with it...plus it was free haha....belts look good I just finished changing out the fluids, and valve cover gasket/pcv valve

Im also replacing the rear left caliper and rebuilt the right rear caliper....they were seized up...this will be finshed tomorrow....

 

[DDAMANTI]

Ok I got her up and running again! .....brake light is still on...I need to bleed them more ....also running a cel here and there..i think the maf plug is wiggling again...

 

[egoboy706]

well if thats the boost controller, it looks like he spliced the wastegate hose to tap for a boost gauge? which would be terrible..

 

[DDAMANTI]

yea I believe so...I gotta find the how to hook up a boost controller....its been awhile
