Tried Unsuccessfully to fix my fuel pump wiring
Tried Unsuccessfully to fix my secondary turbo leak
SUCCESSFULLY! Did the White Cluster Backlight mod :-)
1 out of 3 isn't bad

Need to check 12v ignition, batt, ground for the PCM.
Also need to check crank sensor.
2 weeks ago it fired up all day long without a hiccup.
Gringo: leaves, dirt are clear...sorry about that LOL
Just as well anyway, my leg is killing me and I can barely bend my knee to drive...still hoping to get the beast started and hopefully pain subsides for Sat.

Got the scanner to read the PCM...no codes pulled.
Key in IGN on position, I have all power and good ground to PCM, fuel pump came on with key in this position.
My PCM doesn't have much slack in the passenger side so moving it around to see the connections pretty much involves my head completely in the passenger side with mini-light so my old eyes can see these tiny numbers. As I'm moving the PCM around I hear my fuel pump go on and off a couple of times...3 times to be exact at the specific moment I was moving the PCM around. WTF?
I look at my fuel pump wires, PCM to fuel pump wire is connected by 3, yes 3, blue plastic butt connectors. I fixed that problem so there is only one connection soldered and wrapped. After that, no more random fuel pump on situations.
Found one black/yellow wire that had a nick in it, like it was pinched...fixed that. After that, good power, good ground, fixed some wires...time to start it.

NO START.
I pull a spark plug boot off to check for spark, get the wifey to start the car... F'in STARTS!! Shut it off, put boot back on...STARTS!
Now it was running pretty rough...hunting for idle all over the place.
Scanned and pulled code 650 for MIL circuit malfunction...no biggie (I think?)
So I drive around the neighborhood for at least 10 min. Died at a stop when I shifted to neutral to let it idle. Started after 2 tries...drove around again, died going into the driveway. Started again after 2 tries, parked it in my driveway in idle...stood solid in idle at about 850-950, no hunting. Volts at 13.9 - 14.5, fans kicked in at temp.
Scanned again with same crappy 650 code (I removed the check engine light from the FEED cluster a while back)
Sounds just like it did 2 weeks ago, so I'm feeling pretty good. Drove into garage. Parked her. Said a prayer that she would start tomorrow.
Huh? Whats the puddle in the driveway....son of a b*tch...I have f'n coolant leak now.
If I didn't know better, I'd swear I had a rotary again lol....sigh...
