GXLII: Running, driving, limp mode (ARGH!)
 
Alright, I'm soooooooo damn close to being done with this thing, the car starts, idles, drives, all that good stuff without a hitch (well, the idle does hunt whenever I push in the clutch, but regardless) and I started driving it around (and low and behold it didn't kick my ass after 5 minutes) and woo was I amazed when it made it a mile at 25mph without hesitating! (YEEHAW!) Until, my check engine light pops on (oh no!) And, low and behold I notice i have NO pickup whatsoever, but the car keeps on kicking. I get it home (it did drive fine below 3000rpm) and check the error codes: 27 MOP! God damn limp mode! Damn you to hell! I just spent the past 4 hours fixing every vacuum leak, replacing the fuel rails, replacing 2 bad oil injectors, and now the damn MOP is bad too! argh! Anyway, just thought I'd vent and get this outta my system :) The good news is it started right up and idled perfectly (until I played with the TPS, now it hunts back and forth) But anyway, I'm starting to get close and I'm beyond anxious! Oh, I also installed the MSD 6A, put on a s5 TII wing, added a k&n filter & custom tid, and other small things. Anyway.... *steps off soapbox*

Good luck man! Sounds like you are heading in the right direction, get some vids

vids, never thought of that, I'm sure I could, but it's not much of a site at the moment, I mean my crankcase vent's into a pop bottle at the moment *whistle* :) But it's getting there, I've been rigging things up pretty well, I'm going to send the engine out to kevin landers in april to have it rebuilt and ported and then add a hybrid and the rest of the goodies, but at the moment I'm just trying to make it run how it is. The TPS and the MOP are the only two problems I have remaining.
