From: Pimp'n ain't E-Z! But driving ur FD makes it easier!
Well, I got home early today and being that it was nice and warm, I thought I should go back to that harness problem I've geen having...
...well, I dug around my nasty greasy harness and came across a little black box about .5" square w/ the N--- number on it and a loop for a bolt...UNHOOKED GROUND! So I grounded it out to the chassis...next up, I went and got my digi cam and made a 30 sec video of the CAS spinning...just to be sure I had that in right because I had been messing around with it's settings for a bit...it's a cool video, even if it is pointless. Next I checked the sparkplug on the rear rotor(trailing)...dry as a bone, so I was getting upset again...then due to my stupidity...I realized I had left the CAS connection unplugged!...So i plugged it in, and PRESTO...cranked the motor over, pulled the rear sparkplug again and it was soaked in fuel
However,
My front rotor is still not getting fuel! The connector to the primary fuel injector is broke and doesn't sit right on the injector...so I'm sure that's why. I'm still a little curious why the motor won't start up though...even if it is on one rotor..I'm guessing the compression is too high and the lil rear rotor doesn't have enough umph to pull itself and the front rotor around w/out the front rotors help...OR my ignition is messed up..(possibly 180degrees off...like its sparking in the rear rotor when no fuel is in the combustion chamber)...I'll keep on it. My GF goes away for all next week with some friend of hers, so I'll have plenty of time with my mistress SE-X...I'll keep you posted...
OH..and if you are upset that you read this thread, and wasted your time...TO FUGGIN BAD CUZ I'M HAPPY!

I'm not positive on the spark yet, I'm gonna hopefully get that sorted out tomorrow. I've got another '87 T2 coming in from NY to play with though, so I'll see how much time I get, lol.
3 days huh? Well, it won't be so bad. I'm possibly ordering a new EMS around the first week in July...we both will need time to tune, lol...

I have a '91 GTX motor. Extended Streetport, 2pc 2mm seals(same kind as Rx8), racing OPR, etc...rest of the internals are from an FD(corner seals, side seals,etc). No race bearings or stationary gears though...thought about it, but I figured I'd wait til my next motor...I'm gonna go Pinned and bridge port next
