I am considering not going but my wife says I cant be a baby so I guess I am going. Got extra tickets if you are in the need of some pain! Can't say I am looking forward to it myself. But I plan on numbing the pain starting at noon. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) Maybe I'll have a second to swing by on our way home Sunday. Course, if you've seen 1 TIV engine you have seen them all. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) |

Now just have to chase down all those issues like you are doing! But I am hoping that because I had a working base before they will be minimal. Lets see essentially every part in the engine is new and nothing is stock but the case. What could go wrong? |

Well things took longer than they should but got everything ready to crank and build some oil pressure before trying to start. No go. Hoping it is a dead battery as the voltage dropped to 10 almost instantaneously after the starter engaged then nothing.
It has been sitting a year. New battery and try again. |

Sorry dude. BTDT.....That is a letdown after all the work. Don't let it get you down. You are sooooo close. You already have the programming done on the FI, so it should be quick.
BTW, Oreilly auto parts sells Optima batteries. |

Sometimes it’s the simple things! If you remember last year it was me trying to get all the stuff back in my car, and couldn’t get into start night before, didn’t get it figured out until the morning of day leaving for Helen, ended up being my fuel pump ground! Good luck with new battery hoping for a successful start today! |

Well after all the struggle I have achieved failure!
Going through careful steps for starting cranked over until oil pressure built. Started checking out all of the ECU functions and when sorting a lose wire something went to ground and (IMG:style_emoticons/default/new_shocked.gif) smoke was emitted from the ECU! Luckily the 2 Amp fuse was still good so I at least I can use that over. Time to call it and put it aside for a while. |

Is a replacement ECU easily obtained? |
