It looks like it's gonna rain Sunday though...
Dammit fredie...yoru FD gremlins jumped ship to become FC gremlins.... I think my ECU fried today...lost total power after filling up my tank today... Compression 90psi all rotor faces(Cold btw), Fuel pump is working and i have pressure in teh system (Ran pump and squeezed the lines...there was pressure.) but i did not detect any fuel smells on plugs nor exhaust during starting attempts....
Well the gremlins have left my FD! Got her started today and she is running pretty good. Only weird thing is that I can't get the damn add coolant buzzer to go off. Filler neck, ast, and overflow are all full and the temps are normal.
Sorry about the spreading of the illness. I am going to put her on my shoulder and burp her tonight to see if I can get all the bubbles out. I am just thankful she is back to life in time for me to get ready for DGRR!
well, nots the pump, installed the Walbro...which is oddly quiet, so i know i have fuel.
Changed ECU's out...so thats not it...
injectors and grounds is all thats left of my sanity

Did you check mass airflow censor or the other one that sits to the left of it ? I droped the trnny out of the T2 last night and the clutch was on hand tight Thats not good ... Now on to changing the slave cylinder..
sounds almost like what mines doing man... only im going a step tomorrow to try and check grounds out... totally forgot how to check codes for sensors and ****...i know my knock sensor is melting...

Few days ago a buddy called me and said there was a t2 on the side of the road near the mall, so I drove up there to see who it was, but you must have been gone already. get it figured out yet?
I spotted another FC. It was on the motor mile going the opposite way of me. It was black with a banged up front drivers quarter panel. Do I win for the most random 7's seen? I think I'm up to 92 or something.
Air in the system will do that. I would try bleeding it before replacing the MC.
What type of gremlins?
What do you mean "lost total power"?

it floods immediatly after i start turning it over, and the fuel pump is drawing all kinds of current, so me and my dad are leaning towards a bad fpr, thinking that the pump is building too much pressure b4 the pfr thus immediatly flooding the car after i turn it over

I saw a gold rx-7 second gen leaving cookeville last week, the whole passenger side was banged up pretty bad and then while going to georgia last friday I talked to a guy named drew that just bought a second gen.

I forgot to mention a few days ago that I saw a black FC (probably S5 N/A) on Hardin Valley Road. I was riding with someone else though so all I could do was point and stare. And who has the red FB that works at the Mellow Mushroom in Farrigut? I swear I'm gonna leave the guy (or girl) an invite to our meets one of these days.
I'm noticing that along with all these 7's coming out, the gremlins are coming out with them. Good luck getting all this crap sorted out.

Anybody have a full emissions system (rack, thermowax, BAC, etc.) that they don't need? Mine was removed a long time ago and I'm wanting to put it back on, I just don't have any of the parts.
Nope, still trying to figure it out.... got the intake pulled apart so i can access teh fuel components more easily. And yep, that was me Kevin... I had gotten a tow about 6:30ish thursday night, but so far ive been stumped. Im currently checking the grounds out then going to check the solenoid resistor pack along with the egi main relay...per the haynes manual anyhow.
And by total loss of power, i mean she shut down, i had full electrical, but no 'go'. Ive got my walbro installed so i know my pumps good, and yes it is running, however i am getting ZERO fuel through the injectors, i know im not since i cant/couldnt smell fuel during turnover out the exhaust, nor were the plugs wet with fuel.
(865) 335-6242 is my number if anyone has any input to hit me with, ill be outside working it out till it gets dark on me....

EGI main relay checks out normal....and since this is a 88 i am resistor pack delete, so thats eliminated. I might have to put this thing back together and crawl under it, check the starter wiring out....could be something stupid down there...

Going to try and put it back together and jack it up, see if anything came loose beneath at the starter.
