My 10th AE ran..For a little while.
 

Update...I got this 10th AE for $700.00 It had no spark... I fixed a broken wire, and push started it...BOY WHAT FUN!!! That thing was MOVING!

After 5 mins it died again...Wouldnt start. And the wire that I repaired was VERY hot.. Looks like the wiring harness may be shot...:confused:

Anyone got an 88 TII wiring harness they want to sell?

Sounds like the perfect time for a Haltech.

Just something to think about.

How are the engine grounds?

If you've got hot wires, it may be a sign that your grounds are bad. You can just take a jumper cable from the neg battery terminal to the engine as a test. If it starts and runs fine, you have a grounding issue.

Hmm...Might be thinking about that too. I think that the ECU may have fried also...

The power windows quit working and everything, now I gotta see if I fried the ECU also.

I fixed it (again)
 

Unbelievable...After hours of troubleshooting and a few burned fuses, I found the problem...

One of the air hose clamps (the spring loaded ones) had come loose and migrated down to a test connector. It was grounding the test connector to the frame... What luck! I was about 5 mins away from pulling the entire wiring harness...

Now, time for a beer, I will reassamble that thing tomorrow.

where did u find a 10AE for $700? nice job on solving the problem, wouldve been a bitch if u pulled the entire wiring harness

700 dollars nice job. I got mine for 6,000 but I havn't had any problems :)

Good luck with it.

Would you believe that I found it here in Tucson? and the kid couldnt solve the sparking problem, then the motor had zero compression both rotors. Keep in mind this car only has 67000 miles on it.

So I solved the wiring problem, but it wouldnt run. So I ATF'd it, and pushed it around my block. About the second lap, the motor began to fire..

Now it starts up evertime, and purrs like a kitten.

Nothing like getting a running 10th AE for $700. Although I am thinking about selling it.

thinking about selling it?

DIBS!

LOL!! I havent decided yet. I love the car, but I am in the unfortunate situation of needing money. we will see what happens.

Rat

Whatever fool...Your crazy.
