Thank you Harvey for all your help and guidance!
Cost a vid!

And congrats. I know that feeling, that moment when after hours and hours of trying to figure out what's wrong, it finally roars to life. You almost stopped expecting it to altogether, but then that beautiful rumble that is life fireworks going off in your head, that you've finally succeeded. Feels good, man.

Re: CEL blinks these codes.

Actually I didn't realize that you were swapping into a different vehicle, just thought you were doing it to a SVX

Indeed, I was seriously doubting it would run at all. It has been almost 2 weeks worth of wiring an diagram reading to get this far! And lots of asking questions .

Yes this engine came from a guy who got it from a totaled SVX, so in a way I 'saved' it . If you look back I did link to my journal, if you go here there is a video of it running for the second time ever!

Thank you very much, without you I would be stonewalled as I can read wire diagrams about as well as a blind person. ( no offense to any blind people intended).

Hmm, I wonder if they have braille wiring diagrams...

Re: CEL blinks these codes.

Got it up and running and shifting through the gears!

I do have one question. What would cause it to feel gutless with more than half throttle? It just doesn't feel like it's making the power it should. Only codes are for Evap stuff that has been 'deleted'.

I am missing 1 vacuum line to something bolted to the xover coolant pipe. Would that cause what I'm feeling or?

Re: CEL blinks these codes.

Re: CEL blinks these codes.

Sorry just realized this was replied to.

I hooked all the vacuum lines up. I believe the gutless feeling was due to a limp home mode/misfire code that was present. Runs like a champ now .

usual low rpm hesitation. Solutions I'm pursuing are.
