  • It's Alive!



    Not the best quality, I know. I left the camera at home, so I had to use the phone :P.

    She sounds good with the GT2 cam, and fresh motor :).

            Went and had the codes scanned, just to be sure I'm safe. I was expecting the cam code (ZZP says it throws it, not sure which one, but it wasn't there) and an O2 code (no cat), but what I didn't expect was a Cylinder 6 misfire. Brand new NGK TR55 plugs; I ran these before in the other motor and it ran perfectly! I figured maybe the wire wasn't on right or something; reach through the headers and pushed on the cyl 6 wire and I hear it snap into place, thinking I just solved my misfire :). Wrong :(. It misfires under load now, not at idle though. I didn't notice anything wrong with the wires (almost new, rougly 3K on them, OEM replacements). I'm letting it cool right now so I can actually reach that plug/wire, and recheck them, and then check my coil. Any other things I should check?

              OK, checked my coil, and either that's definitely bad or it's my ICM. It doesn't have a constant spark, it's completely random. I'm hoping I can get a new one today and fix it.

                Replaced the coil and that's not the problem. I'm havin my Uncle look at it this afternoon; he's a mechanic for the county, so he's got an idea what he's doin :P

                  Could be the ICM, or arcing somewhere...

                      Found the problem; it usually helps if the injector's plugged in :). She's running beautifully now. Doesn't miss a beat, gets swirly hitting 2nd, pulls like a mofo, and sounds amazing :)

                        With no tune and new 42.5# injectors my car sounded amazing.. too bad I couldn't keep it like that.

                            Nah, it's just because the motor's running for the first time in years. Here's a newer, better vid; I fixed the misfire and did a whole walk-around:
