Thread: Real progress, just to keep you all up to speed.

Started 1 month, 3 weeks ago by gordonA
When I was running on 4 cylinders, the EEC must have been going nuts trying to keep the motor running - but it managed it somehow. Then I got it running on 8 but had rotten belt squeal and a hesitation on full throttle running. The belt squeal I got around (so far, keep your fingers crossed) with an extra idler puller to increase belt wrap. The best bit at the moment is how much the ...

Well done on your progress so far , many would have given up by now ! The wiring and electronic gismos on modern engines aren't for the faint hearted DIY car biulders ! One reason why I've gone with a standard HEI distributor , a single 12 volt wire to it and the engine will run ! Still behind on my build but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel now , should see the thing running ...

Gordan, You're right about the computer trying to relearn. Its adaptive fuel maps will need a while to be readjusted (about 80 run cycles). That said, you can simply delete the current adaptive maps from the KAM (keep alive memory) and give it a fresh start by just pulling the negative battery connection for 15 minutes and then hooking it back up. If you do this follow the following ...

Meybe I'll do a steam car next Thanks Jason, I'll work that out in my head tomorrow when I'm not so tired.

We have a steam powered vehicle now... every time my wife see's the torn up Miata on her side of the garage she gets "steamed" and flys off on her trusty broom!

My wife’s a flight attendant and is usually away from home for four days at a stretch. I pulled the 1.8 out of her car this past weekend when she was gone. You should have seen the look on her face last night when she saw it sitting on the garage floor. I told her that’s what happens when she leaves me alone unsupervised.
