lol...no, thats red clay that fell off the race car. Been raining like crazy around here, so it picked it up easy.

Now I have done my fair share of rigging, which is probably the reason I'm throwing a code for the IACV. But I did get the coolant leak fixed tonight, also wired in the A/C fan to kick in when the engine fan does...haven't got to see if it works yet because the car won't get hot enough sitting still for it to kick on.

When I can afford it, I'm gonna try to find another car or something so I can finish some of the stuff I want to do to this one...that or just take a few days off to do the major stuff(wire tuck & diet and repaint the engine bay). The rest of it I can do piece by piece while I'm still driving it. I've just been looking at wire tucks lately, and damn it cleans it up nice.

hahaha....im talking about later on...just getting something I can count on so I can continue playing with this one

WOO HOO! Found out what happened to all the power the motor has! Some idiot(might have been me, don't think it was though) put the firing order 1-2-4-3. After a couple phone calls to Ami and Jer to see what they thought on the IACV, I started playing with unplugging fuel injectors and plug wires. Well unplugging #2 and #3 FI did nothing(no change in idle), but unplugging the wires would result in the car stalling. After messing around with it for awhile, while I was waiting for an ohmmeter, I decided to switch 3 and 2 on the firing order. The idle smoothed right out, and the faulty IACV finally started showing its true symptom(fluxuating idle). I still have a problem with the idle, but the car runs a helluva lot better than it has been this past week, and hopefully this time $20 in gas will last longer than 70 miles.

I don't see the clutch lasting long though...ofcourse Im already smoking the tires. The thing grabs pretty quick and goes. Need to go get some synchromesh and see how well it works. 4th gear grinds at times, and you can feel the gears hitting if you pull just a little back on the shifter in 2nd and 4th. Just as long as I watch myself, it shouldn't grind any though, just gotta be a little more gently going through the gears(no, I don't normally super power shift either)
