Mazpower, I've had an Odyssey PC680 battery since May, and it hasn't given me any problems, even when making a lot of short trips during cold weather.

i had one of those brailles and it died every time it got cold--even when it was unplugged!!

i'm using a pc980 now and it still sucks (although not as bad) when it's cold out. but my cold is like 20* colder than your cold.

just a friendly reminder that there is a meet tomorrow!
check the first post of this thread for more details. we meet even if it rains. if the rain is bad enough we will just hang out and all go do something rather then go on a run.
hope to see some 7's there this time.

PM sent to AEKA....

90% of the people that normally show have bailed out of the meet doe to the high chance of rain tomorrow.

you are still welcome to meet Vipers at the shop as us die hards are still hanging out.

meeting has been moved to 10:00 though.

sounds like you didnt hook up one of the fuel lines that goes to the rats nest there are 2 of them.... one comes off of the fuel filter, and the other comes up right next to it..... make sure both lines are hooked up....... its very easy to figure it out...... put the key to ignition "on''..... that will activate the fuel pump..... then check to see where its leaking from, then shut it off! but DO NOT attempt to start it until all fuel is gone!

almost Vipers.... the fuel pump does not turn on untill the MAF receives signal (it starts to open) he will have to try starting it for a half second before the fuel will start to gush out.

nope....... TRUST ME! ive had to deal w/ several fuel leaks.......hell, you should remember....... you were there a few times! all you have to do is turn the car to "on" and the system will pressurize (at least on my car).....thats how ive done it! maybe mine is a freak of nature......... thats how u saw the leaking secondary injector that one time!

I could have sworn the MAF is what told the fuel pump to kick on..... hmmm, I am sure I am wrong, I have been doing that a lot latley. not to mention it's only been about 3 years since I owned/worked on a normal second gen.

Okay thanks guy's. I'll try what you said jess and I'll buy some new clamps. Because I know that thoes lines are high pressure and the old clamps on there now I can move freely without any problem so maybe the fuel is sliding out from there. I'll let yall know what happens later on this morning.

Okay so I got some clamps and it's not the two lines that you were talking about vipers it's something closer to the block...I'm thinking the main injectors or something close to it. But on the up side when I did try to fire it up today it turned on for a sec then turned off. I think I'm going to have to take off the Dyamic Chamber to find this fuel issue.

does it look like it is comming from the primary fuel rail?
make sure you have the injectors in the fuel rail all the way, (and make sure the o-ring is in tact) I had one do that to me once.

O-rings?? really not the black thing that goes between the bolts. I really don't know where I coming from I just know that there is fuel all over the the top of the motor. I was thinking of one of the fuel lines to the fuel rail but now that you say that I do have extra copper rings just laying around.
