well, she's finally running again. took her around this morning, still needs lots more tuning. runs great at above 50% throttle, partial throttle runs like ***.

Glad to hear it.So what was wrong this time?

 

how big are those rims? they look greeeat. i'm looking for black 15's for my 1st gen, but i don't know if they will have clearance issues especially while turning.... its been lowered 1 1/4 inches....

 

Meh, who needs an idle.



Fuel issues then?

 

yea, coughs at about 4-5 lbs. in every gear. 2k rpm is not quite right, above that car runs great. can't get her to idle below about 1200 rpm.



the rims are 16"the front looks low cuz the shock is blown to hell, lol.



what happened was some water got into the fuel pump relay and caused a short which drained the battery overnight. everytime i tried to start the car it put unnecessary strain on the starting solenoid which eventually gave out. the short was also throwing odd voltage at my fuel pump which gave out as well. all in all an expensive lesson, DON'T LET WATER INTO THE FUEL PUMP RELAY!!!!.



new starter and alternator ended up costing me $30 bucks courtesy of a buddy at autozone. fuel pump and relay was like 160 bucks, now i need to get my exhaust finished so she stops over boosting. tries to creep over 14 lbs. when i get into it hard.
