Alright so here's the dealio.
A lot has happened since the last update.
we thought the TPS was going bad because of a thrown code. Got a used one and replaced. code went away, problem did not.
Pics:
Prior to my ownership of the car, it had sat without being run for 9 years. So the fuel tank was super rusty. Got a new one off eBay for $80, delivered in 2 days.
yuck
Old tank out
New one going in
Also got a new fuel pump sock. Slapped those in.
Old vs. new
Ready to go in
SO all that being done, issue still persisted. FML right?
Okay so we narrowed it down to injectors. Pulled them and found this on one of them.
Well just decided to say fuck it. Just soaked the injectors in seafoam overnight and then slapped them in and started it up. Wouldnt you know, it ran perfectly? Filled it up with gas, drove it for a good 3K miles. Felt really good to be driving her again.
LO AND BEHOLD. SHE FUCKS ME AGAIN.
Hit a really hard bump, starting making a weird noise (always a bad sign).
Took a look at the engine to locate the noise, the Crank pulley wasnt moving at all. No PS, no alternator charging.
Come to find out, the woodruff key sheared off, taking part of the keyway with it.
the chattering also ruined the pulley/harmonic balancer
fuck my life right?
I've sourced and bought a new woodruff key, pulley, and bolt. So now I'm going to tow the car to have the woodruff key welded to the keyway so it cant move. then we should be right as rain.
So now for some good news. Got some goodies over time.
Picked up this Z6 head that needs to have one of the valve cover bolt holes re-tapped. Other than that, its mint. also picked up the intake, throttle body, and vtec solenoid for it.
All for around $50.
Also "Acquired" this speed limit sign.
Might turn it into a skid plate, who knows.
So thats all I have right now, be sure to check back for more progress!
Stay tuned
