Car is STILL has a crank, no start condition. Has been since I got it. It ran and drove when parked. I have driven the car myself before. It's fully tuned on link V3. I've already begun yelling at it and punching it. I hit my funny bone on the E-Brake last night really bad and now today my arm still feels pins and needles. This is NOT going well. This is why people get rid of a DSM.

I have spark on at least #1 inj. I have no fuel. At all. Inj refuse to pulse. I had to learn wiring diagrams and how to diagnose with my 1995 talon FSMs.

It failed Diag testing @ required 12v (battery power) reading @ key on, ECU connector off, pin 1,2,14,15 and ground. It's 5.7ish volts, at EVERY ecu pin

Voltage at the inj pins is 12.2v on the same color wires, and 11.2v on the other end.

I'm stumped and now will have to pull out the entire harness and rip it apart and replace all the inj wires, or put in my spare 2ga harness that I don't want to wast on this car.

Prolly gonna close the car up, cover it, and forget about it. I have 2 other 4g cars and this one isn't needed. Absolutely NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS.

Injectors were clogged. I redid the rail and swapped injectors and the car fired and runs and idles now.

Slave cyl appears shot so I'm doing one of them as well

 

[HaveBlue83]

Kids are all home now.

 

[HaveBlue83]

New NGK wires and got hardware for the spark plug cover. Cleaned up the VC for now. Will be PC soon

 

[HaveBlue83]

Wheels and susp going on. Have to mod the bottom cups on these BFO coilovers. Too fat to fit in.

 

[HaveBlue83]

255/40R17 et35
OZ Aleggerita HLT (Flow formed) Italian made wheels.

No camber adjust. No rolling. Just dropped down to get fitment started.

 

[HaveBlue83]

Lot more work been done, here some updated pics. Brake work this weekend then back down. I had to drop the trans, PP was collapsed, so I just redid it all

Closer

Car is back together again and won't stay running dumping fuel, bad combustion. I just did plugs, fresh oil, fixed the ECT and KS sensors and it's still running like shyt.

About to give it back and get my money out of it and be done. Clearly this car wants to be a nightmare and I'm about over it. 3 weeks of work only to be rewarded with a car that barely runs.

Extremely frustrated. 4hrs last night and 4hrs today and still nothing. Almost Time to send this on down the line

Oh no don’t do that. Take beat. Come back with a reset. These girls deserve that.

I'm almost over it. Same with women. Give me issues I just check out and leave. I have 2 other cars to mess with that run for me. This one has everything wrong with it and I cannot seem to keep up with the sheer number of faults it's throwing at me. It was fun to restore but the motor isn't gonna last long running this rough. It's not fun for me when they don't run. Parts cannon was fired and exhausted. I'm out of options besides learning electrical again and pin out the entire harness

It might get a car cover and left.

TPS confirmed wrong voltage. Was at .23. forum member said yeah address that. I got it adjusted to .63 and what do ya know, car sputtered and came to life. I took it around the block, heard noises, smelled smells, and the Wally 255 was screamin.

Took some pics. I can finally sleep at night.

 

[DreamChaser7]

Damn, I was thinking you might be getting close to giving it away..

Got the top side buffed up. Just hitting other spots....there's spray paint, brush on paint......it's an entire whole mess, and I never used a buffer before
It's fun.
I ordered more BLT prep things. I also have a fitment issue with the TB elbow that I need fixed. I hate the VRSF uicp routing with the flange bolts. I'll have my welder guy make me something way better than this junk.

 

[HaveBlue83]

Started rolling tears and prepping for camber adjustment. Had to mod the roller to work, annoying!

 

[HaveBlue83]

Ok so I was able to get some M10x1.25x30mm doorman flange bolts and I bought a box of thicker style m10 washer (100 pack, Hillman) to do the camber adjust on the rear. That went well.

I rolled the DS and blasted and painted the filler neck cover as well.

I spun to coils up 3 turns all around. Looking good.

I yanked out the old brake booster vac line because someone T'd into it for the MAP SENSOR WTF. I bought a new OEM Evo I line and cut to fit. Cleaned that up nicely. I went out and got a reducer and shortened the hose on the map and ran that to the TB like my summit is. Soon I'll order the proper Extreme PSI adapter. I forgot to get that this time

I have a heat barrier TB gasket and new TB seals and a new BISS to go on as well.

Had to rebuild the junkyard shifter, it was toast. Rigged up pretty bad, missing stuff, bad.

Nervously warmed it up and drove it around town real quick. I have some very old coolant lines to replace, but overall, felt great, got into boost, brakes are bedding in slowly. Tomorrow I will take it out again and nervously put a mile or 2 on it
