Hey good luck with the build up Cronic, but can you return my PM? the receipt is unconfirmed at this point in time. I can send it again if need be. Later

 

So whats the story?????? Is this thing gonna live or not?????

 

No real updates as of yet... There is still no oil pressure, the car still does not want to run right to see if RPMs will make the oil pressure go up. I wont be out on trackday. I will still try to make it to spectate, however Im not sure, as Tina and I are moving out friday evening, and might not be done moving until early Sunday. I'll keep you guys informed as things progress. I haven't been home much in the last few days, and don't know how much more of this I can take. Im really ready to retire the car all together and get the hell out of all this BS.

Don't give up so easily. Things will eventually come together.. Didn't something happen to the oil pressure sending unit? That might be the actual problem, pump went bad, oil pickup??.. There are only a limited amount of things it can be for there to not be no oil pressure. I'll keep and touch and see if I can help out with anything

 

PM me back Jeff (Cronic)

 

Updated??

 

Apparently he had the Maff (Excuse my spelling if it's wrong....) in wrong, and the Head Temp Censor was bad... so the censor has been replaced, and it's still only getting like 10 in the oil pressure department. I know my update is a little vague, but i'm trying here... I'll ask him to type something up to update you all himself.

I tried....

 

Greetings again everyone. Tina does a wonderful job at taking care of me and caring. Isn't she great everybody? Anyway - back to the car. I haven't been online much because the new place doesn't have internet yet - I cannot get online at work so Im having to proxy my posts through Tina in the meantime - The car has almost no oil pressure at idle. And under load it has 15-20psi. We haven't figured this out just yet, but before I pull the engine, yet again - I will replace the oil pump, and pray to God that this works. The original problem, why the car was bogging so bad and not running properly. After replacing the injector clips, the Head Temp Sensor, and the FPR - the car still would not keep running it was bogging down bad. - After some thinking I realized there HAD to be something wrong with the MAF - I pulled the connector out to try and reseat it - and voila... It was upside down. So I rearanged that - the car fired RIGHT up.

However... the oil pressure is still low. It's either the oil passages are clogged, the pickup gasket is not installed properly, the pickup could be blocked by something, or kinked, or the oil pump is damaged somehow. I've tried a lot of stuff, including priming the pump, and putting washers in the pump's relief valve - none of this has worked, so I will be replacing the pump with a used, but working one to see if that is the problem. - If it is I will order a new pump and install it. - If it is not the problem. I will remove the engine yet again - and bill Red's for my time.

BoostedB16a - Joe I will square with you ASAP man. Things are crazy as always and Im not trying to diss you here - I don't have any access to the internet, and have been moving the last week or working on my car.

There... yay.
