I heard on the radio that NASA believes the fuel sensor problem has been traced to a ground wire.
Why in the hell didn't they just post the question here? We all know that 9 out of 10 times when our cars don't start it because OF A GROUND WIRE PROBLEM!!! "...make sure the engine ground wire is attached from the tranny to the car" How many times have we said that. We could have that bad boy in orbit last week.

Hmmm, maybe... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif) Have they checked the hell-hole lately? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/welder.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) |

914 Wizard? No way. I got too much to learn. Group: Members Posts: 4,099 Joined: 21-April 03 From: Gig Harbor, WA Member No.: 598 |
I agree. Ground problem. something that old probably has some green corrosion on the copper clear up under the insulation. They need to cut it back to bright metal and put on a new connector. It probably wouldn't hurt to put some dielectric grease on the connectors. While they are in there they should check to make sure all the cables are secured. Course they should check continuity. While they are at it they should check vacuum hoses and especially fuel lines, not to mention change the filters adjust the valves. Oh sh*t, they got Dirk Wright Disease.

One of the problems with NASA is when they don't have DWD. Politics gets in the way of the real mission...

They should hire Burt Rutan, http://www.scaled.com/projects/tierone/ . I guess they are all afraid that he would show them how to do it with a 1/3 of the staff and without all the problems. Can you imagine driving a 73 car at 13,000 miles in hour and hope that all of 100,000 systems work. I am happy when my car start and idles correct (when two of the systems are working correctly.)

Well, you can't just expect to pull something off of jack stands and have it run circle around the moon first time out! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

I just had a strange vision of NASA rehiring DD and flying him out to the cape. Then DD was on the side of the shuttle tank wiggling wires and yelling "try cranking it now!!"
It wouldn't help anyway..... DD couldn't get his own 914 running, much less the shuttle...... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) |
