So I finally get my clutch safety switch thing figured out, and then I find a loose wire that goes to my ignitor, so I solder that up then I give it another go. And nothing arrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggggggg................. So I call dave up and ask him what to do, he says check for spark yada yada yada.... and about this time I realize that retarded me didn't plug the ignitor back in when I was testing that wire. So I plug it back in hop in and try it, it fires a litttle arrrrrrrrggggggggg...... So I try a few more times and put put put put sound like a harley but its idling at about 500 rpm's.
J/k about selling my car by the way it runs well sorta, Dave says I have a vacuum leak probably somewhere. So after talking to Dave I started thinking wonder if I have a CEL so I start it up again and I do. I have code 21, 2 flashes and 1 pause anyone know what this code means? Also can anyone help me with the routing of the vacuum hoses so i can make sure I have them all hooked up and going to the right places. Today musta been a good day for swaps, I finallly got mine to run, and that guy with the beams got his to run. |

Well the problem was one of 2 things, I'm not sure which it was.
Today when I went to NAPA to buy injector cleaner I saw a can of sea foam cleaner in a spray can, so I was like I'm getting that since it worked great in bottle form in my 7a. So when I got back I sprayed a little bit in the idle air hose and let it sit for about an hour or so. Then came back and started the car and let it idle, it still ran like crap, but a little tiny bit better, so I sprayed more in and started messing with the MAF plug at the same time, and in about a minute or so it was idling at 1000 rpms and smooth as it could get. Now it revs great and everything seems right. I'm gonna put the axles and rest of the car back together tommorow and then take it in monday to get my exhaust and rear mount made. Dg's wiring was perfect I really didn't have to change any of it, with the exception of bypassing the clutch safety switch everything was right. If anyone contemplating getting a swap, save yourself the headache and have DG do the harness for you. It was all plug and play and if anything goes wrong with it he's there for ya. Thanks Dave! And Dr. Tweak is great with the wiring too, he helped me with the safety switch bypass and some other things when I was lengthening it and he didn't even have to. |
