ok guys, more problems have surfaced. 1st of all the car is eating fusible links like tic tacs, im pretty sure i have a short somewhere cuz when i leave the car sitting some place for a bit, i come back and the battery is too low on voltage for me to start the car. guess this is some of the things you have to deal with when working on a 19 y/o car...

o yea, anyone know the voltage for the main fusible link? hell the voltage for all the fusible links would be really helpful

well, according to you you have a short with the radio, and that you using the "clock" lead (which is always on)



Try isolating that 1st.

Ok now I got a problem with my starter. I turn the key and nothing happens. Everything else springs to life like it should, but no function from the starter. Its a brand new starter. I've had it for 2 weeks and it had worked just an hour before. Any suggestions?



Im going to take it out and get it tested monday. For now I'll have to push start my 7. Thank god its a 2200 pound car and it only takes walking pace to start it. That and my street is a hill https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/BURNOUT.gif . Oh well, it'll build some muscle. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683664.gif

ok, so i replaced the starter and alternator. she ran like a champ, comin down the road the car just shuts off. try to restart, turns over but won't start. my friends just happen to pass by and help me push her into a parking lot. turns out the fuel pump quit, jiggle the fuel pump and manage to get her running long enuff to get her home. man, if its not one thing its another...

its a brand new walbro inline fuel pump too!!! anyone know how to get into contact with walbro about warranty stuff?

all the fuses in my fuse block are good, i think it was a short in the wires. anyway i said **** the bs and i drilled a hole through the firewall and ran some 14 gauge from the battery to an inline fuse, and right up to the radio; along with some switches which ill later connect some neons too.

Lacan91 04-28-2004 10:10 PM

yea, so it wasn't the fuel pump but the fuel pump relay. replaced it and noticed the voltage is kinda funky, figure out the switched 12 volt running to the haltech isn't reading 12 volts anymore. no problem, switch the wire to a switched 12 volts and voila everything should be right again.



but no, the car wants to start but isn't. i swear, this is never gonna end!!!!
