I may be looking at this car. Check out the video and let me know what you think.

Seems to be a bad ground or something.. I noticed on one of the pictures that the CAS was being used as the grounding point... Here are the details. Definetly seems to be Spark related..


I've removed all the emissions and it has a strait pipe exhaust to dual barrels at the tips- 165,000 miles on the body about 15k on the new engine (rebuilt) manual steering and no AC-

The good:
about 15,000 miles on the rebuilt engine-
No rust and under body is ryno lined-
runs pretty well minus a small shudder (see video)
rebuilt clutch cylinder-
5 speed that shifts perfectly, no grinding what so ever-
strait back 2.5" exhaust (no cats or air pump, emissions)


Check the picture-



Tips would be great, i think i have seen this before, just can't remember.

I figure with some T2 sideskirts (to hide the dent), a replacement passenger fender, and a coat of paint this car will be a good 3rd vehicle...

 

Theres no oil pressure. Problem solved!

 

Wow i never knew brave blue looked that good haha. Nice find, hows the interior?

 

I noticed that.. LOL Could be the sender..

 

Seems pretty good (it's blue though)

 

Was this car on mautofied?

Also was that WOT?

 

I have no idea... This was the info he provided.

 

where's the pressure sensor?

 

I think i can see it below the oil filter.. But this car has probably had at least 3 motors in it at this time so who knows...

 

below the oil filter? the map sensor is down there?

 

Yeah but if you stare closely at the picture you can see a white clip sticking out behind it.. That should be the sender unit (Gold) back there.. Unless my eyes decieve me.



Either way I have had cars with no OP reading run fine.. This seems spark related..

 

SHoot i just realized you said pressure sensor not OIL Pressure sensor... Duh..

Good question I can't see one either.

 

It appears the pressure sensor and the variable resistor are MIA...

 

yep.

 

when i saw this car the pressure sensor was there and in the right spot and the oil pressure sensor wasn't hooked up cause i think it was broken. car ran good though besides that little studder

 

Anything else you can share about the car? General condition ect... Thanks.

 

car is in great shape besides that big *** mark on the rocker. engine seems solid. i got another car off him and it had no problem. i would trust his engine build. he does good work. i was going to pick this car up not to long ago but went a different route. only thing about the car i would say is bad is the tires lol.
if u have a question i'll try to answer.

 

Thanks for the help. I hope the deal goes through.

 

I just noticed thats on the engine there is an S4 alum. theromstat neck !!! check the pic... the S5 are the crappy plastic.

 

Yeah I usually swap them out too...

 

Well.. Still thinking it may be related to the missing pressure sensor or the grounding, or.......

 

check the Trailing coil for spark.take the wires off and see if the Sparks are Uniform.If they aren't firing off Each separate coil,then there is your Problem.I Had something exactly like what you have shown on the VID.That was the problem..Another Idea is a Bad Secondary Injector connector.

 

Are you referring to it topping out at 5,000 RPM?

Vacuum advance for the CAS isn't working?

 

Seems like a lot of work...why not just replace the neck with a new one?

 

**** it all and throw on a megasquirt.

all problems will be solved.
