you tuning your own car yet?

Nope...My other ECU is still desoldered and waiting for a chip kit. Also, need to buy a wideband but those things are on the backburner for now.

I want to finish the exterior and other small stuff before I move on to performance.

- Sat Aug 18, 2012 7:52 pm #313748 Was reading your first post about on getting low gas mileage. I am getting horrible gas mileage myself (b18b). Did you have any luck with a different ECU. I live in VA also and do the same work you do. LMK.

Yes the different ECU made my mileage go up about 5 gallons. Then I noticed I had and exhuast leak and fixed that which made it go up 2 more gallons. So I usually get an average 29mpg if I don't have a heavy foot.

Duckbill spoiler is part of the plan...not trying to get some egay crap

IMO I like the clear corners better, it flows better with the car. I had amber corners before...everyone where i'm at seems to be running amber corners.

- Thu Aug 30, 2012 4:59 am #314582 My AC is acting weird again...At a traffic light is seems to be cutting on and off. I hate AC problems!!! I'll look into it later since at least it still works.

Also, my car has a starting problem. It has happened over 3 times already. After its been running for a while and I shut down the motor. I try to start it within 5 minutes and it will fire up then die. Cranking is great! but on the next try the engine will not run. So I wait like ten minutes then it starts like it doesn't have a problem. I believe the culprit is the main relay.

I made another vid...its a yellow eg compilation, take a look

Hm. That sounds to me like vapor lock? You should consider low pressure/bubbles in your fuel system or heat problems.

Vapor lock occurs when liquid gas in your engine heats up to a gas. If you let the car sit for several minutes and allow it to cool, the fuel will return to normal and you can start the engine.

This was normal for carbureted engines on hot days in the 60's/70's.

Maybe?

Figured it out...it was my main relay

Remember this is my first soldering job on a main relay

What it looked liked when I took it out


What I needed to desolder


Desoldered and resoldered


Before solder


After solder
