Re: Installling Engine: Flex Plate to Torque Converter

I really wish I was told about this during installation! I made it clear.. I'm a "novice".. not a mechanic.. when getting installation steps.. Hmmm?

WELL! .. I drove my car.. new "rebuilt" engine.. wudn't start 15 min later.. Acted like out of gas! Noticed no Fuel Pump buzz then! Popped fuel delivery line off engine.. NO GAS PRESSURE! Yikes.. Gotta fuel pump yesterday.. Gotta put it in first..

The SVX is not driving right, but don't know what the "TC/SHAFT JAM" would do to the AT function.. if it damaged it, but dint destroy the oil pump like you both did??? Goes forward..and Reverse.. BUT, ReAlLy WeIrD turning corners! There's a VERY noticeable wobble (like axles SHOT, but they're NOT) when turning corners.. ??? Could this be an AT malfunction resulting from the "TC/SHAFT JAM" .. AAAHHHhhhhhhh!!!

Thanks, Jim

P.S. I also had speedometer partial malfunction (works on/off?) .. on my short test drive. Can't remember what drives it? Could that be AT malfunction?? (Told ya I'm a novice [actually senile])
