Reviving 167

[steve]

So after having a bunch of stuff stolen out of the car, its been sitting for a few months. I finally made time today to dig into it. Thanks to the generosity of many of our gvr4.org members, I was able to get going on this thing. Replaced the a-pillar trim and roof trim pieces, wired in the new SAFC2, ran hose for the new boost gauge, replaced the battery which was dead (wouldn't take a charge), removed the turbotimer harness and controller, and probably some other stuff I'm forgetting. Feels good to make some progress, but I wish I could have turned her over. With an unplugged port on the filter housing, I can't. Hopefully I'll get that straightened out next.

Thanks again to the unsung heroes who hooked me up. I'll do my best to pay it forward to the community. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worthy.gif

/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/idea.gif I thought about it but my hands were filthy and didn't want to touch the camera like that. I'll get some pics soon. Its not much to look at right now but I did put the underdash panels back on when I was done, even the triangular kick panel piece by the ECU which has been off forever. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rofl.gif The DD rolled another 3000 miles today but it got neglected... it will have to be done tomorrow for oil change.

She runs. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hsugh.gif CEL so I have to get mmcd reinstalled and check the codes. Might be the MAS, it wont rev and when I unplug the MAS nothing changes.

 

[steve]

Oh I never checked the AFC settings after wiring in the new one! I bet thats it.

Glad to hear she is running again Steve.

Good job Steve. Keep us updated.

 

[steve]

Hollur, the AFC was set to Hot Wire and 4-cyl. Fixed that and it runs fine! Have to finish installing the gauges properly and buttoning up the interior, then check for any leaks at the OFH from the gauge install.

Congrats Steve!! When you're done give it a test drive up here and fix my brake line! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Your probation was cleared with Hertz. Once pics are up it will be lifted. Stay on topic.

C'mon, man! Pics!

JSB's got nothin' on the OATB (Once Around The Block) Boys. That's the worst, imo. Car looks good. Sounds good. Even feels good. But you can't do more than a lap or two before something is wrong. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Where I live, once around the block is 4 miles. Know how many times I have not made it back from the test drive? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif

 

[GVR4Doug]

No pics=FAIL! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

shitty camera phone pics but hopefully JB will lift my temp ban now... Aaron I still owe you interior pics, the camera wasn't gonna cut it for that.

 

[Hksvr4]

shitty pics = FAIL. No interior pics = FAIL.
