Car's finally running

[Kreator]

Yeah, it's 4am in the morning, we just finished 30 mins ago. I'm completely wasted. We were working since like 3pm. But the car lives!! I'm so fuggin happy. I still gotta coupla probs to fix up (timing, reset codes, and fix one of the metal lines i bent cuz it's leaking fuel), but the car starts and idles like it never idled before. The engine practically doesn't shake at all. Tomorrow i'm figuring out what is the thing that i broke and how hard is it gonna be to replace it. Hopefully it'll be completely finished by the end of the next week. Anyways, i'm going to sleep now <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>

You fix the same engine you broke or get a new one?

[sykikchimp]

you put a turbo on the car right?

[boosteds14]

no, i think he fixed the motor. he lost compression in one of the cylinders i think.

bent valves i think. dont know for sure

It's the same engine i pulled apart. The problem was pretty small - a metal piece got stuck on both intake and exhaust valves in the third cyllinder, restricting them from sealing completely. The result was compression drop in the cyllinder (to basicly 0) and car running bad. I pulled off the head, the shop fixed everything for me (for like $10) and then was the hardest part of putting everything together <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> So yeah, i'm just happy i didn't mess up anything and didn't forget to put in all the parts

Whats up man, its dan. &nbsp;(yeah i come here every now and again) &nbsp;I'm glad to hear your car is back up and running!

[BEISSEN]

Thats cool finally got the car back.hahaha hope you dont have sparks any where near that leak or you will have a bigger problem.But it s great to know your car is back no more beater car.

[Kreator]

The leak is from a bent metal line from the fpr to the fuel rail... or something like that. I havent figured out what it is yet. It doesn't look like it's gonna be too hard to take off and replace, but i guess i'll have to special order it or something. So yeah, i'd say beater car for another week <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>
