I need help with FD please

I kinda brought the car the way it is. It runs but not that great. I have no idea what all these lose wires are. Can someone help a noob out. Oh and something about a low fuel pressure. Thanks

Chuck is not only going to tune, he's going to start from scratch and fix a jacklegged mess first ! Be ready to spend some more money. Now if you done your homework and researched the FD for about a year first, well the outcome would be different.

Your coolant cap also says Evans only (cap also looks like a 0psi I THINK), I would definitely look into your FD more thoroughly and research evans coolant if you haven't already.

I try reading about this stuff, just doesn't make sense to make to me. Good thing I have money, got to have money if you wanna play with FDs.

It's pretty much stock. Just has a Powerfc and wiring is kind of a mess, that will be on the to so list.



But like I said within a week or two week, I'm going to have someone to look at it.

No offense, but tuning your car now would be like putting a $500 saddle on a three-legged horse. Get it sorted out and running decently first.

I'm going to let him look at it and see what he wants to do about it.

On a side note I'm looking for a front bumper cover. A 99+ would be nice but the 93-95 would also work if the price is right.

I definitely see a brand new engine wiring harness in your future, if you brought your car to our shop that would be a non-negotiable.

Between Chuck and Kyle Krutilek (and your wallet) they'll get that sucker sorted out

I don't who Kyle is. I think I'm just going to stick with Chuck.
