Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project

Yes she finally runs.
I had checked everything and even swapped the wires earlier but this was when the injector resistor pack was plugged into the wrong one.
I was doing some break in today, couple vacuum pulls from around 5000 and letting the engine brake the car. Transmission is great, no grinds whatsoever.
Couple things i need to figure out:
- There is a vacuum leak somewhere i have to find, likely coming from the IC Piping due to the retarded Radiator hose couplers (2 of them).
- The Prosport boost gauge is not reading boost, it just spikes to 35. I was running it between the FPR and the Intake Mani, not sure if thats how 1gs do it. but may try another port.
- The HIDs are not working. I have one new ballast so im thinking its somewhere in the wiring to the switch.

And Finally.....

The newest stupid thing... We took the car to the movies tonight to watch Alice in Wonderland... Car drove fine there, parked and locked the doors. Go in and watch the movie, come out and try to open the door..... yeah the fucking key doesnt work in the doors. Im really not sure how i missed this as i have had the car for 4 months now. but never locked the door and checked if the key opened it. There seems to be something stuck in the lock on the drivers side, but the locks on the passenger and trunk dont work either. Fuckin hell. So looks like i will be replacing the locks in it. The funny thing is, we went to the local MANN theater because it was closer to the house so if the car didnt run we could always walk home. Well we walked home for an entirely different reason.
But i was able to get in, so thats that. and the car started just fine.
