That's what I did when I couldn't get the back spark plug on my Explorer, I said screw that I'll let someone else do that.

I really wish I could... As of late, I'm very very tight on the cash flow and have been trying to spend minimal amount on the Talon since I have the Cobalt as the dd... It just sucks cause I know it has to be something simple and it's got me pulling my hair out cause of it... I really don't know what to do... And I most certainly don't trust taking it to a shop where some retard might take it out and beat on it once they get it running... I've heard too many horror stories about that kind of stuff...

[Sleepr awd]

Yeah, it would be necessary to find a shop that was respectful of your ride.

Wish I could help.

[Blackcrow64]

Yeah, I really need to get this stupid manifold problem solved but work has been crazy for me lately with not enough time off during daylight hours to do anything... I work again this weekend, but I'm hoping to get some work done on it next weekend since I have some time off for Thanksgiving... At least I did all the other small things last week on it and got some interior stuff finished up... Got some pictures I needed to post still too...

[Sleepr awd]

does this thing run yet?!?! you've had it down long enough i'm back into the broke down cycle. HA!

[Blackcrow64]

Pshh... Come on, of course it doesn't run still. lol...

I honestly have no clue what to do at this point. I'm just extremely frustrated with it still leaking at the intake manifold... Makes me wanna give up and start parting the POS out...

[vanilla gorilla]

Let me know when you start pulling parts.

[Sleepr awd]

I'd like to think the solution will come to you, or you'll be able to save enough money to have someone do it for you.

if you give up hope you've wasted 2 years.

The boost is worth it my friend.

[david-b]

If he give up it's over 2 years. We should be more supportive. No part out.

Come spring, I'm going out there and fixing it

[Blackcrow64]

Oh don't worry, I'm sure I'll drive it soon enough... I doubt I'll go with the part out option... There are some developments happening as we speak...

[ned032002]

I wouldn't part it out but if its something that any mechanic should be able to figure out.

My update is this...




The Talon has been under about 3 feet of snow for the last few months...


I'll go outside when the snow is gone again. lol...



I've just been entirely too busy with work and my business I've been trying to get launched here... Right now the financial situation has been my top priority since the Talon wants to be a little bitch and not run for me. lol... If things continue on how they are going then I may have my own place by this spring/summer and then I'll be able to work on it a ton more once I get everything settled in.

[Sleepr awd]

that's good news! hopefully i'm going back into my next "fixed" dsm cycle. turbo got kinda ... blown... in under 1k miles... likely the result of a weird oil pressure feed/return line setup. Fixing

Update:
























































































Not really. I just felt like screwing with you guys. lol....


Nah, I really am going to start working on it here now that nice weather is finally showing its face in Ohio... Plus I will have more free time to actually work on it too...
