Addicted to eaton Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 Ok guys. I have a shit ton of pictues BUT.. cant get them from my phone to my computer becase my phone is messing up lol. Anyways I started on it at 6 Friday night and worked untill 12:40am (pulled the motor) Then i started working on it at 2pm saterday and finished at 11:30 Car is Running and drove it about 50 miles. Few problems lol It ideles Fine sometimes then it will go down under 500 rpm then back to 1,100 rpm then Way back down to about 500 and it will do this and it sounds like a old car with cams lol then it will die. Restart and it will Die right out. Maybe its my Egr valve? Also i noticed my check engen light was on. Also on my test drive it was nice and no one around once i got it up to 100 mph the check engen light came off. THen at about 80 it came back on. Then About 20 miles from my house. I got off the highway (were she was running alot colder than my old motor was) and i came to a stop a a red light and noticed STEAM Rolling from under my hood. opend pulled over and turned my car off. and i kinda inhaled some steam and noticed it was sweet tasteing lol. Anti freeze. Oh no!. well i told my friend to start it while i looked and all the steam was comeing from behind the motor it seemed. (i seen the problem right away though) the blead valve on the top of the water pump had came off!) i closed the good and noticesd it was right around the 210 mark i hit the highway and got home turned it off and poped the hood and noticed the steam was comeing from my blead valve on top of my water pump now. Notes- Ruff idle sometimes dies out? I did not tighten the water blead valve up good check engen light is on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BXX Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 do an idle relearn. Bleed the coolant system correctly, and have the code scanned... Also, check and make sure all connections are good and everyone is plugged in for that matter.. You put a new motor in and decide to do 100mph??? Did your mom give you acid as a child... An engine shutting off or blowing at 100mph will cause so many issues you wont be ready for... For the love of god, good job (somewhat) at the swap, but be smart man... Now just finish the job!!!! Get her running right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Addicted to eaton Posted December 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Yes, I did drop out of school. I have my general education diploma and I passed it with pretty good results. I have NEVER been good at spelling. Mainly because I don’t take my time I rush my self to get my idea down that I have in my head. I have always been that way. I just need to slow down and take my time like I am now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
