Garrett Powered Posted September 20, 2007 Report Posted September 20, 2007 whoa, thats cool!!!! I like that idea about bending the metal contacts out of a bulb and using it as a tester. Im gonna remember that. I would have just used a normal test light probe. oh well either one will work. get it sparkin man !!1 Quote
Psych0matt Posted September 20, 2007 Author Report Posted September 20, 2007 im sure I have a bulb around somewhere, so i'll try that either tonight or tomorrow Quote
Psych0matt Posted September 21, 2007 Author Report Posted September 21, 2007 ok, did the bulb test, and I'm not getting injector pulse. I believe my two options are CPS or injectors. I might pick up a CPS anyways, just to get a new one. sound like that's my options? Quote

Nick1234 Posted September 22, 2007 Report Posted September 22, 2007 sweet. drive it like you stole it!!!they are fun!!! Quote
Psych0matt Posted September 22, 2007 Author Report Posted September 22, 2007 sweet. drive it like you stole it!!!they are fun!!! not with 2 year old gas now to get the tranny in! once i get everything back into being used to running, I'll get some fresh gas and see how bad the tranny really is. seemed alright, but it wasnt wanting to run too much past idle because of the old gas I assume Quote
5speedz34 Posted September 22, 2007 Report Posted September 22, 2007 I hope you changed the oil before you started it. Quote
Psych0matt Posted September 22, 2007 Author Report Posted September 22, 2007 I hope you changed the oil before you started it. nope, next on the to do list. checked the levels and stuff the other day though, good enough for a test startup Quote

I would change it ASAP. Quote
GutlessSupreme Posted September 22, 2007 Report Posted September 22, 2007 I hope you changed the oil before you started it. nope, next on the to do list. checked the levels and stuff the other day though, good enough for a test startup yea, but level isn't the only thing that matters. oil deteriorates over time and gunks up and sticks to stuff. that's why they say every 3k miles OR every 3 months. I wouldn't run it again without changing it. Quote

19Cutlass94 Posted September 22, 2007 Report Posted September 22, 2007 Thats like the #1 rule to starting an engine that hasnt been started in a LONG time... change all the fluid to fresh fluids! Quote
99RegalGS Posted September 23, 2007 Report Posted September 23, 2007 Glad to hear it's running!!! And also, the 3k or 3month oil change is bs.... Quote
Psych0matt Posted September 23, 2007 Author Report Posted September 23, 2007 Glad to hear it's running!!! And also, the 3k or 3month oil change is bs.... I drove the Jimmy 6k miles after I bought it before an oil change, and it was probably at least another thousand before I bought it. I like doing the car every time the DIS tells me about 25%, but right now it's at like 13% Quote
5speedz34 Posted September 23, 2007 Report Posted September 23, 2007 Glad to hear it's running!!! And also, the 3k or 3month oil change is bs.... I somewhat agree with that, but if a cars sitting I never use the old oil. Quote
99RegalGS Posted September 23, 2007 Report Posted September 23, 2007 Yeah, I can see a car sitting outside in the sun and snow for a year w/o running is bad. On the other hand a car in a nice garage sheltered from the elements I would use the oil for awhile yet (assuming the oil isn't that used in it.) Quote
Garrett Powered Posted September 24, 2007 Report Posted September 24, 2007 if the PS fluid is not clear I would do that right away. same with PMIII. Quote
Psych0matt Posted September 24, 2007 Author Report Posted September 24, 2007 same with PMIII. Don't have that Quote
patgizz Posted September 24, 2007 Report Posted September 24, 2007 same with PMIII. Don't have that thats badass right there. saturday when we went to pick my tgp up he popped the hood and i about popped wood when i saw it was converted from the PMIII to real brakes. one less thing to do. Quote
Psych0matt Posted September 24, 2007 Author Report Posted September 24, 2007 yeah, mine was completely done right, back to the inside of the firewall and everything Quote
pwmin Posted September 24, 2007 Report Posted September 24, 2007 i wish my car had the newer style ABS, but i doubt its worth all the hastle to convert. wiring wouldnt be that hard since plan on an obd2 swap, but adding the rear sensors might be a little more difficult. Quote
