SHE LIVES!, Engine runs on her own!! Options

Cranked the engine w/o the coil powered to get oil pressure up. Yup, green light went out. Whew, one down, one to go. Poured some gas into the fuel tank. Connected the coil and cranked...and cranked...and cranked (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif)

Nothing.

Well, the dizzy cap and rotor looked worn so off to the store and bought replacements. Cranked. And cranked.

Nothing.

Poured a whole container of fuel injection cleaner and gas dryer. Poured in about 3 gallons of 91 octane. Fuel pump was indeed doing its job.

All wires connected and on the correct coil terminals. Oops, #1 and #2 spark plug wires on wrong post (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) Fixed. And cranked. And cranked.

Nothing.

Pulled out the Haynes shop manual again and did the trouble-shooting in the Ignition section. Even switched coils. Everything was testing good but my engine analyzer was showing no spark from anything. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/blink.gif) Swapped back the original coil and...oh, I need to push down harder!...cranked. Engine analyzer flashed the red LED so that means it detected current in the #1 spark plug lead -- SPARK!!!

Cranked some more and putta puttta. Cranked and putta putta pop putta VROOOOOOOM! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/aktion035.gif)

Blipped the throttle and the mufflerless engine roared its mighty 2.0 litre roar and settled down to a lopy idle. The villagers rejoiced and there was much headbanging that evening (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/aktion035.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mueba.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/aktion035.gif)

The video does NOT do the exhaust sound justice. It sounds sooooo muscly (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/lol2.gif)

All vacuum hoses are in DIRE need of replacement. I adjusted the idle down via the dizzy timing as the idle was close to 2000rpm. New hoses that don't leak will change it all again but I can handle that. She lives, and that's what's important.

Oh, and the reason for all this news...no engine oil leaks (so far). Fuel lines not leaking any more as well (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif) Gotta love previous owners (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ar15.gif)

P.S. She still looks like a crap-mobile but she lives!
