    Someone help me, please.

    I have an m52 with swap harness in my car right now.

    I'm missing the final touches (vacuum lines, coolant lines, some wiring) and have NO idea what I'm doing.

    I'm in the Renton area and was wondering if anyone who had done the swap would be willing to lend a hand.

    I could REALLY use the help since I literally feel so close but just don't know what to do next. I sorta jumped into this blind.

    Thanks

        You're wife > me

        I've never touched a motor before I started this swap. I started out like 80% noob and now I'm like 50% noob. But I'm still a noob and kinda jumped in to a project that's too large for me I think. :(

          Well if you pulled the motor from the car complete. How hard is it to install complete? What could you be missing?? Everything should already be there and be hooked up.

            Where like 5 vacuum lines go, where coolant lines go, and a tiny bit of wiring.

                Sorry I'm too far away. I've had my hands in enough that I can see where stuff that isn't should be, and where things that are, should be somewhere else...

                Take some pictures of where you are at, and what everything looks like (empty ports, connectors, etc) and we will see what we can do here...

                  Thanks guys! Tomorrow when there is light and stuff I will definitely try to get some pictures or see what's going on...

                  One thing I find confusing is there are 3 lines for coolant next to the 2 holes for the heater core.

                    if i understand you correctly....



                    should be coming from the collant pipe
                    Hmm. I'm not totally sure.

                    I'll try to go take pictures of things that I'm talking about today.

                    But if there was someone local that could stop by or has a swapped car to compare things to that would be awesome.

                        Is he local? Maybe he'll chime into this thread. Hopefully.
