This factory alarm disarm wire looks promising... Maybe I'll try disconnecting it and see if that brings back my spark... (I hope)

Thanks!

Be glad. It was a pain to rip all the ABS shit out and replace it with non ABS lines and such...

Now it sounds like I'll be doing the same with the alarm too. lol

The galant gsx was. I sold it and the kid after me blew it up. I miss that car

, however the vr4 is not. I should be picking it up Wednesday. Sux about the fluids and green light. It runs and does not leak. I just need a tune and licensing and I'm good!

First off, in my defense of time... I was a total noob when I started this project and you older guys knew that. It was all I could do to barely change my oil, but now look at where I am, what I know, and what I can do...

Anywho...

Good news, bad news, and sad news...

Good news... It runs...

Bad news... Cylinder 3 is f*cked

Sad news... I didn't even get to see it run today...

My two buddies were working on it today since I'm on Midnights for a while and sleeping during the day and they pulled out the whole wiring harness. Upon doing this they discovered another plug that had fallen down behind my motor that matched the same plug for the coil and the cam angle sensor to crank sensor plug for the 6 bolt in a 2g swap. I had tried switching the plugs around a few times thinking I hooked them up wrong but I didn't know this extra one had fallen behind the motor. They traced everything with a wiring diagram and plugged in everything by the book and got it running...

However, Drew (My buddy with the black GSX that was working on this today) called me and said cylinder 3 doesn't have good compression or something cause its missing bad. So Tuesday when I'm off work I plan on doing a compression test to see whats going on there... I am wondering if there is a problem with one of the valves not seating correctly, head gasket got f'd up or even worse, dare I say... A valve got hit on installation? I hope not but only time will tell... At least it runs! Too bad I was sleeping and didn't get to see it...

Wake your butt up, get your camera and get a video of it running. The best time to do that is when you are doing the compression test. So that why your not starting it for no reason.

Blackcrow64 · 08-12-2009, 05:20 AM

Well I went over and started it yesterday. It'll idle, but it's really rough. I'm going to explore a few options before tearing anything major apart yet. I wasn't able to do the compression test because I didn't have a long enough adapter to get clear down in there to thread it in. Stupid DSMs... I went all over creation yesterday looking for one with no luck. Gonna go try to find one again today so I can find out my compression for all these cylinders... I'm hoping its just something retarded instead... Like a vacuum leak...

SilvrEclipse · 08-12-2009, 07:16 AM

Man that sucks. You have had some rough luck with this car. Hope its something simple and you dont have to tear the beast apart again.
