IM putting a t2 back together and what my problem is that when i put the battery in and connect it im getting a fire from the parking break cable. its mainly the part of it that runs to the passenger rear of the car. i don't know why this is happening but am scared its going to cook the car.



second this body didn't come with a radio and the security light on the center council blink and i think thats why the car wont crank. how do i bypass this if i don't have a radio to put codes in to shut it of.



if you can help with either of these questions i would greatly appreciate it thanks.

 

ok i have it fixed now and running just need to get it tuned now. but when it gets kinda warm at idle (about 5 mins of run time) im getting smoke from around the exhaust manifold?



i checked the oil lines and they seem to be ok could the turbo just be bad or somthing. it sounds like it spooling up ok

 

OK i let it run for a good 30 min. smoked stopped i had to change the injectors just noticed a little fuel leakeng.now i need to know what the best way to get the car to hold an idle. the car was striped of its BAC,air pump, air control valve and accelerated warm-up system solenoid valve. it feel pretty good when i hold the idle down at 1000 beside a slight sputter but there is just no idle on its own.

 

this question is for a friend of mine that has a 93 rex. its was an automatic and he changed the motor and tranny to a 5spd. now he has fuel and spark but the car wont start . when he did this conversion he did change the ECU and harness with this motor. would anybody know what this could be. i was thinking grounds but im sure he has them all together.

hes trying to get it running so he can make the trip with me to JPR. Imports and get both of them in there for some tuning. any thing is worth trying. thanks

 

OK i went to go take the car for a ride when i went to start it up the starter isn't spinning the flywheel like its not engaging all the way out to reach it. it sounds like its just pinning. i pulled it out teeth are good on the starter and flywheel checked the starter and its working perfect its a new rebuild one. i put it back in there and it does the same thing just spins. Did anybody ever have a problem like this.

 

ok i just replaced the starter again and all went well. i got the car out for its first run and like always another problem came about... when i get it around 30-40mph the right rear wheel starts to bounce. i checked the u-joints, bearing and they are all in good or new shape. i checked the strut and sping and they seems fine. wht could it be im almost ready to let the car go i love them and all but damn. just one thing after another.
