I worked on the engine bay today. I removed the primer I sprayed on since it was just incase we had any rain to prevent rust. I cleaned up the bay with Prep All and then sprayed it with the base coat and primer in one. My local Auto Supply store can mix any paint you want or primer and add...

:popcorn:

Thanks. I have heard that from long time electrical guys. I once traced a broken wire as to why the car was not getting pulse, but spark, this way. It is actually easier than it sounds. ;)

I was referring to signal as the ground wire since the ECU controls it. I fixed the above post. Sorry about that.

Disconnect both battery terminals. Take wire, connect to negative battery terminal. Put other end of wire on the 02 sensor ground wire. It would be blue on the 02 side, so check the corresponding wire on the engine harness side Check to make sure you have ground at the ECU pin of the...

PM with what gaskets you need. I might have them since I have a couple gasket kits with miscellaneous gaskets.

I didn't get anything done. The shop was too busy. Good for business though. I will try and get some work done on it tomorrow.

Did you pull the plugs and crank?

Most people have had their accounts hacked through their E-Mail from signing in on a website that was probably from a link and their information gets sent to an E-Mail address. Xbox Live was not down for 14 day, they have had issues and kept the service up while they resolved it. They do...

He said he believes his diagnostic block is not working, so that would not help. Your fuel pump should turn on for a second or two when you key on your ignition and then shut off. If you want to jump the fuel pump, use the relay on the passenger side of the engine bay to see if the pump will...

Did you check for continuity at the ECU from each wire? Ground is controlled by the ECU like Jetjock said and it needs the signal as well. Do a continuity test and report back. Hint: Unplug both battery terminals, ground each wire and check the corresponding ECU pin for a ground.

You said your harness connector broke or is in bad shape? Shorting somewhere?

^LOL!!! Thanks!

I do plan on keeping the same color. I am not a fan of changing the engine bay color. The bottom of this car has no rust and I will be undercoating it as well. I have a Burns muffler. :). Only weighs three pounds. I will clean the bolts with my dremel tool and use POR 15 on the bolts only...

@ Dustin, it is only surface rust. Nothing penetrated. The bare metal was left to weeks of rain so it was expected. I just rubbed it off and the dremel tool took care of it. I then primed it with the primer I used on my last car since it did not flake at all and I am giving it overnight to...

Today, I finished the harness with the two IAT sensor wires that I had soldered and the flux was not removed. After talking to Ian, he said it could be a little corrosive, so to prevent it, I bought lead free no flux solder and redid it today. I also started on the engine bay. I left the bare...

That is not a problem. Basically, if you want to test a motor to see if it is running, just send a singal to the ECU to have it "turn on," and then probe the start to crank and it will run. The wiring that is sent out is usually for the body plugs so if that does not work, it is not a problem...

Cool. Next up is checking timing but you said that was done right so then you would need to check compression. Has this motor ever ran? Did you pull codes to see if it could help?

Hmmm. I know Zero is supposed to be making a 1ZZ kit though.

That's what I am talking about. Was it Zero who made your brackets Albert? I know.... ;)
