- Sat Oct 23, 2010 4:40 am #219527 It is ALIVE!!!! She started up on the 3rd try. After the first attempt, i 180'd the dizzy and she started up on the second but quickly died out since she couldnt idle. So the third time I started her up and gave her some gas to keep the rpms up.

She runs but not perfect. Sounds like a miss and there is still some ticking that is annoying the hell out of me. I have done 2 valve lash adjustments and the ticking has gotten better. Now, I need a cluster so that I can check the Idle and codes to further diagnos what is going on.


When I get time I will upload some vids from my phone and katies of the motor running.

- Tue Nov 16, 2010 6:54 pm #223187 Ok so we got the new cluster for the car! Well we were super happy seeing as it was mint and low miles.

Then the box got to our house and this is how it looked

Image

This is the second time I've ordered a part from someone and with their lack of packing skills, it's ended up getting broken. I got a fog light and all it had in the box was one little piece of bubble wrap. So it broke.. Now this. Luckily we can still use it. Just gotta make sure it works 100%.

I ended up pming the guy telling him it arrived broken and his response was "Oh well I guess those postal guys tossed it around a bit"..Really? It was boxed with some paper. No peanuts or bubble wrap.. >.<

I told the dude he should file a claim but I doubt that will happen. He just argued with me saying that his packing is fine and that he's a manager of a shipping department.

Luckily my boss told me I can ship on our company account so now if I get a part that's broken..instead of going through the person selling it to me to do the file claim..I can do it myself. That way I don't get cheated.. Woot

- Wed Nov 17, 2010 4:00 am #223252 I was a bit upset when I opened the package. His reply was a bit more upsetting. He doesnt seem to care that it came out broken, and he also didnt like my PM to him. Saying his packing skill suck. Evidently he is a shipping manager for some company. I dont want to order from that place for sure.

I installed it and attempted to start the car, but no luck. Im not sure whats going on now, but I will figure it out soon. I did get to check out what CELs it was throwing.

Turns out its just throwing the one code I knew it would throw, since Im using my old O2 sensor that is messed up.

Going to be ordering some wires, cap and rotor for the ignition soon as well. I hope that gets rid of the miss.
