gotcha, thanks! I was wondering how exactly it functioned

Hey guys, bought vr4 not running and as I am making progress on getting it back up and going, I am planning ahead for some future things.One question I have is, what kind of signal does the stock boost gauge get? I know that ECMLink can be used to change the gauge other things besides boost...

Ok guys,Ive been looking more at the harness for rodent marks and I THINK that I have spotted all...so far. My next task is to check the wiring back at the fuel pump and tail lights. I was going to go ahead and order some wire splices and I have been doing research for what to use. I would...

Thanks for the link! Ill take a gander once I can stop being a responsible tax paying citizen today.

Quote: 2 suggestions that may help. It looks like your car is going to be down a while. You might want to send your ECU to ecmtuning and have it looked at and your eprom socketed if you are considering ecmlink. It's not expensive (60 bucks iirc), and it's nice to know any future issues aren't...

Ok, had a bit of a break and went out into the garage. The harness does, in fact, go inside of the left front quarter panel. I pulled the liner on that side of the harness doesnt look like any rodents ventured there.Tracing the harness: So, starting back over by the battery. I traced the...

Quote: The harness I wanted you to look at actually goes forward (from the fusebox on the r/f by the batttery) then down the radiator support, across the bottom and then up the drivers side radiator support, and then behind the headlight.It then pops thru an opening in the left fenderwell to...

I pulled the Right-front Inner fenderwell liner and the only wire that I saw was the ABS wire coming into the wheel well and then looping down to the strut. I will look again to confirm 100%.Here are some pictures of the caps:With FlashWithout FlashThe circled solder points are the...

Random other rat-nessConnector that is on the harness that goes to the starterGround from the firewall to intake manifold. Completely chewed throughwire completely chewed through by the 3 things over on the drivers side. What are these?Connector that plugs in by the throttle body...

After the ECU, I went to where the batter tray is and removed the "cold air" tube of the factory intake and I found some rat-nessThe little flat, black electronic is completely disconnected by chewed wires. The relay has knicks taken out of a few wiresThis little piece is completely...

After looking at the ignition switch, I then looked at all of the wiring that I could see from the drivers floorboard and everything looked just as OEM as it should.From there I went over to the passenger side and pulled the glovebox out to take a gander at everything behind that portion of...

After looking at the connectors and pins on the underdash fuse box, I then pulled the ignition switch apart to get it out of the car to look at the contacts within:This is what it looked like when I pulled it out, cleanThen I got the plastic cap off and the top copper plate fell out, I am...

After speaking with Toybreaker and listening to his words, I started to check deeper into the wiring.I started off by getting under the dash to check the connections on the fuse box down there. Wiring and connectors all seem unmolested and did not see any corrosion on the pins.

Ok, so the reason for the removal of the engine was to able to clean all of the rat nests out of the engine bay. I couldnt even see the subframes and since I dont know these motors....at all....I figured that I would just pull it and clean everything out so that I could get a good look at...

Was able to spend a few more minutes in the car and decided to see what the under dash fuses were doing. I disconnected the ignition switch at the connectors. I then started to check continuity to ground with the fuses in and all were getting signal. I then pulled all of the fuses and started...

and, an updateSo, checking continuity again and I am getting a signal when I touch the connector at the engine bay fuse block, the 60 amp fuseable link.I then disconnected the white/red stripe: -no signal to ground from positive terminal. this tells me if its between the big fuse block...

Ok, so after further inspection.......the positive terminal always had continuity to the negative terminal. I began unbolting the wires to the fuseable links on the 12v+ side. I seem to have lost continuity when I unbolted the 100amp.So, I started reaching throughout engine bay but couldnt...

Well, in that case, the ignition switch is coming off!!!Thanks!Will report back

So, was able to mess with the car for a little bit tonight.I got the ignition switch unplugged and was testing with the multimeter to see continuity on the different wires when the key turned. I did not have any luck and so I can only assume there are relays in the switch itself?I do have...

Have these been hauled off yet? I'm in north Houston

Soooooooo....I will start a thread about the car and its progress but I have a question to ask first;When the key is turned, I get nothing. Like, not even dash lights. My plan is to pull the motor to make it easier to get to the harness BUT I was wondering if theres anything that I could check...

Awesome!Thanks for the input/knowledge!

Thanks for the info!!Also, another thing that I just noticed. The valve cover is NOT red, like I see in other Galant VR4s. It is silver with red lettering that says, "16 Valve" at the top and "DOHC 2000" on the bottom. After a quick google, it appears as if this valve cover is what came on...

thanks for the link!I went through and read it, obviously...BUT do you happen to know of a thread that addresses common issues with both systems? I mean, I wouldnt mind keeping them if I found out that to get them operating would be a simple fix. I just do not know how to diagnose the issue...

Hey guys! As the subject of ththe thread states, I'm new to Mitsubishis but not new to cars. I've been considering snagging a GVR4 for a few years but life/moving has always seemed to have gotten in the way...until recently.I've found a 1991 that has a few issues; ABS issue and AWS issue...
