I'm not exactly sure what was wrong, I noticed some really odd codes when I actually looked at them like a "device error" and the ICV wouldn't go to sleep after a start attempt unless I disconnected the battery.

I couldn't hear the ICV earlier because I had tunes jamming.

Mark suggested I try flashing the DME again. Pulled it out, flashed it again and voila... She started right up and no more ghost ICV.

same q. whatever it was you solved it fast man.

Good lord that sounds nice.

That is dumping out under the car after the cats and resonator, I haven't fabricated the cat back section into the Remus yet. Its pretty quiet too all things considered.

Well attempts fire the engine failed. I cranked it initially to build oil pressure prior to putting any fuel in the car.

Once satisfied there I added 5gal of 93oct to the completely dry tank and manually jumped the fuel pump at the C101 until I had full rail pressure.

2nd cranking no start. :-(

Currently looking back over my wiring seeing if there is something I missed or connected wrong.

Initial trouble shooting showed I have:

Optimal fuel rail pressure.
Spark on all 6 cylinders, moving in time.
12v at each injector amp connector.
Will start & run as long as I spray starting fluid into the intake.

Looking at the diagrams it appears the DME controls each fuel injector sequentially by grounding them, connecting a text lamp to any of the injector connectors show they are not being fired.

My back hurts and I'm racking my brain as to why the DME is not firing the injectors.

It's good to see you have full member status again. I've been away forever. I'm also glad those top mount pictures I took are still circulating. The only thing I will add is that once the strut mount starts compressing over time, head of the stud will make contact with the spring hat, causing a pop/grind. So, at least you'll know when they need to be replaced again. lol

Today I wanted to spend a good deal of time on the car but just didn't manage as much as I wanted. Some unexpected sidework snowballed.

None the less I got out there and crossed a bunch of small things off the completion list, then started with the C101 wiring.

I labeled each wire coming from the donor C101 while I looked over the diagrams and decided what was necessary and what was not. All of the folded over ended wires will be removed from the connector and left unused.



A little while later my friend Able stopped by and flashed MarkD's software (he emailed it) to the DME.



Tomorrow I hope to be able to prime the engine, power up the car and with luck run it through a test fire.
