am finishing my simplification setup...
im double checking b4 putting the UIM, throttle body, and intake elbow for tomorow morning...

1. i've checked all the vaccum hose and its all ready...
2. got new gasket and will put some silicone sealant...

What should i do next b4 starting my car besides resetting the ECU??? any other procedure i should do?? tanx

 

You should need sealant if it's a new gasket.

if the car has been sitting for awhile, it might be flooded??? It happens and stranger things have happened.

Did you clean your injectors, replace the FPD, change plug wires and plugs if old and tired, and port the motor? (j/k about the porting)

 

i started my simplification last week! so it was siting for not more than 2 weeks...

i installed new secondary injector... and cleaned the primary... change new plugs and wires 5 months ago...

i just need the proper procedure on starting the car after the hose job...? i read on another thread to reset the ECU and depress the gas full when starting... Anything else i should do beside those two?

 

That will tell the injectors not to fire.

Since you did some fuel work, you might want to prime the fuel sys.

jump F/P -> GND (in diagnostic box)
turn key to on for 10 secs
check for leaks real quick
take jumper wire out
and just crank it.

I was worried too (when I torn down the engine bay), but there isn't anything to be afraid of.

 

check for leaks in 10sec?? damn... i have to be flash!!! hahaha...

but seriously... where am i suppose to check for leaks??

sori if i ask to much... but i want to take all the necessary precaution not to break any apex seal...

HAHAHA you think you can break an apex seal while starting the car?

I certainly hope not. You're too paranoid. Just do what you can and the enjoy the car and stop trying to find problems!

 

Mine cranked just about right up after sitting two and a half weeks with the fuel system depressurized.

 

Did you mean to say 'shouldn't'? You should not need sealant on the metal gaskets, especially if they are new. Actually, I would never use silicone sealant on these connections; the metal gasket should work fine, and the silicone just makes things messy.

 

i am paranoid!!! nothing wrong wiv that... hahhaha

i read some thread, forgot who... but the person accidentaly put the spark plug wire in reverse and a couple of weeks/months later got a broken seal... so.....?

im merely trying to be take care of this baby, thats all...

 

hey.. jonski... how u?
i've finally done wiv all this simplification... tanx 4 ur help btw... much appreciated...
