regular old m60 swap

I could've sworn that they're new, but I honestly can't remember it's been so long

I don't use paper gaskets. They rely on impeccable surface prep. I like RTV. [emoji12]

Gonna give that a shot then. Trying to get this bitch running by Saturday.

[dothadance]

saturday came and went. unfortunately i wasn't able to get it running, partially due to my friends being unable to come over and help weld my exhaust and partially from parts availability at any stores. now i'm shooting for cars n coffee this weekends, we'll see if that happens tho because i had to return my friends welder and i have like 2 feet left of exhaust to connect right around the driver side o2 area. maybe i'll just go open header...
lol...

[dothadance]

no cars and coffee lol. decided to wait for my paycheck rather than put it on the ol credit card, not to mention how burnt out i was from working non stop. so the next thing up is to reseal that rear coolant crossover pipe and to change the ecu temp sensor and swap the m20 gauge sensor on there. just want to double check with the og's on here to make sure i dont have to do this twice as well as document it for others to find.



#8 is for the cluster that i will be replacing with the brown top m20 sensor. and the wires for the plug may need to be switched as the m20 sensor is only one pol.
and
#10 is for the ecu, which i will just be replacing with a fresh unit. lol... unit.

Edit: just went up to my car and unlocked the trunk, doors didn't budge and no trunk lights. battery's at 2.56 volts lmao. had a fully charged battery no more than a week ago, and started it up at the same time. guess i gotta find this power draw too,

without having done any troubleshooting i have a couple hunches as to where my drain is. gonna check it out tomorrow.

[jpod999]

Good luck finding it!

[dothadance]

151 milliamp drain. And my ecu is all wet.

[dothadance]

As soon as I unplug my ecu it drops to 45 ma

Any busted lights or door switches?

My driver side dome light is unplugged.
Just unplugged all the fuses, the only fuse that did anything was fuse 21, which seems to be for all of the interior lighting.


But that still leaves me at 110 milliamps

My electronics stuff is weak. I don't know how much of a draw that really is over the long term.

From what I've seen 50 milli amps is the magic number.

[dothadance]

Radical.

long story short. rain fucked my ecu, my then ruined ecu fucked my battery. this really sucks.
