Re: beaterX project thread
Hah yea, lots of people said they were gonna come, only a few did. Between the snow and shitty traffic friday and the bitch-ass cold the rest of the weekend I'm extremely thankful to those that made it! Those that didn't, well, you missed a good dinner and beer on me, no hard feelings! I *always* appreciate help but certainly never expect it. Could not have done this one w/o friends though, you guys are amazing!

One last thing actually, I can't get the fourth bolt into the turbo from the manifold. It is a tight tight spot and I am just going to risk an exhaust leak for now to get the car running. |
Update, Napa in SLP has denso's in stock, I believe the OEM ones on the X are now Denso, vs the standard NKG of the 4G63. Either way, my name is on them, gonna pick them up and throw them in tonight.

Re: beaterX project thread
Fuking plugs from napa or anywhere else are all listed incorrectly, what a waste of time! Lomker to the rescue again--he loaned me his HKS plugs, gapped nicely at .023.
Got home, put them in, car fires right up, idles for a few seconds, then dies. Every. Single. time. Someone else had this happen recently, I gotta figure out what it is. Someone *cough* Jim *cough* has my tactrix cable so I can't see what the CEL I'm getting is.
Sounds great while running.

Shitty. Does it sound like it's starving for fuel or what?

Re: beaterX project thread
No, like a hard shutoff from the ecu. It runs perfectly for 3 secs, then dies. Checked a ton of the sensors, everything seems to be plugged in. I found a loose bolt for the positive alternator lead but that didn't change anything. Battery is strong too.

MAF issue possibly? I am trying to think what could be wrong, that is strange.

Re: beaterX project thread
AC and starter...but my car didn't start at all. They are the same damn plug and very close to each other. But like I said, my car wouldn't start at all.
