Glad to hear you have it together.

Oil burning??? What's that about Tom? I'd remove the exhaust and let it run good so as not to clog the cats too bad. It should go away quickly. Glad she's running good for ya.

The engine runs great but I am still burning a whole lot of oil out of the exhaust pipes. I think this stuff will be burning off for the next week as there is a lot in there. A big thanks to John who was able to lend me his fusebox so I could do some trouble shooting. I am just so happy that this car is back to normal and for the better also.

Good job Tom. Glad you got it sorted out!

Thats what makes these cars such a big part of our lives.

Well got the key sorted out. The car uns and drives great. I am now experiencing the stalling everyone is talking about when they stop. I think it is the tps needing an adjustment. Anyway i need to adjust the clutch also as my throw out bearing seems to be making some noise...will be taken care of tomorrow I just wanna stop working on it for a while.

Be at my house at 430am. We will head out no later than 5. It is saying a 4hr 20 min drive so we can stop and get food and coffee along the way and still be there around 930 like mr chike-bob wants . Anyway, thats the plan just let me know what u r doing.

Cool that would mean i have to leave here around 2 AM . Ive always wanted to take the SVX on the highway that late when no one is around....although i will have it in cruise control.

How late are you guys staying? My house is only an hour away

As for the stalling, clean the IAC, throttle body and ensure the knock sensors are not cracked. One of those things stopped my engine from stalling.
