well today i fired my tii swap. And when i i say swap i mean everything. Rebuilt the motor myself with no help. I ran into a few problems but fixed them and it fired right up. Thanks to all of the people who helped me on my questions and problems.

 

Good job man, got any pics by chance?

 

nice, got any pics?

 

what were your problems? cool beans, i am planning on rebuilding my TII this summer.

 

Congrats man! Feels good dosen't it!

Just got mine running....goood stuff!

no pics yet because i dont have a camera but the problems i had where i forgot to hook up the fuel pump lines and then switched the fuel lines on the motor.

 

Why did you hire it if you were going to turn around and fire it?
















lol.

Congrats. There isn't much like the feeling of the first drive in a big completed project.

 

ok well it fired and it idle hunts alot. Only ran it for like 5 minits total though no leaks. What do you think could cause this?

 

this is talked about, drive it around town put some miles on it keep it under 4k for the 1st 1000Miles, then see if the idle is better, its fresh man..

 

fresh rebuild? you should have been given initial instructions for starting and breakin... i belive you need to run it for like 30 min at 3K...dont quote me though.

 

and also when i turn it off and pull the key out it still runs for like 6 sec and no it is not my turbo timer. Its like the fuel return isint working

 

Threads merged, please only start one thread on the same subject

 

well has anyones rebuilt stayed running after you turned off the key only for like 3 sec though

 

hmm, may be a leaky injector or sumpthin. but you have to run it for a while to get the seals seated for good compression.

 

sounds like you still have gas in the system or something ..

i have a kill switch on mine, and when i kill it , it will still run for a few seconds ... i assumed it was just the left over fuel still going thru the system

 

i have a kill on my car to but i am talking about turning off the ignition and it still runs for like 3 sec after.

 

You have the two small wires to the alt backwards or you have timing off

 

well i dont even have the alt wires hooked up yet and havent even set the timing. thanks icemark. That could be a problem. Haha cool thanks for your help

 

i have a switch wired in my car that cuts fuel, too

sometimes it'll switch the car off in less than ~3 seconds, sometimes it'll take more than 5...
