Looking great. I can't wait to see how the keys turn out.




Hmmm I am not sure what you are talking about?

Ok, long time no update, and time to keep this thread out of the archives. It has just been too hot here to work on the car, and have been waiting for Fall and Winter, which are just around the corner. The new door glass is all in, as well as new window motors, so that's at least one more thing to mark off the list

Ok, the weather has FINALLY started to cool down here! It has energized me to get back to work on the car. Just as I start to work on it a bit, the community I live in is giving me grief about a "non running vehicle" in the driveway. I have to get it taken care of with in a week or 2.

So, I decided to take it up and get it painted, so I can put everything on the exterior back together, and they can no longer say anything. I started to put the tail lights on today, and wouldn't you know it, another problem. (If you have read this thread, you know EVERY little thing I try to do, I get blocked by something... every single time). This time, there appears to be 2 lights on the left tail light assembly "missing". I think strange, looks like the fell inside the bumper or something.... As I look all around, I can not find the wiring harness, or any marks where it would have ever been attached like the other two clusters. Really!?




It's starting to get dark now, so I will wait till tomorrow, and dig deeper, and see if I can find where they could possibly be, have been, or should have been.

Ok, spent this afternoon working on getting the car to start and run correctly. Joey and his wife Jan came down, and were a LOT of help! Thank you!

Joey found that the TPS was only getting 3.1 volts, so I changed out the module for a new one, on a whim, and sure enough, the TPS is now getting its full 5.0 volts. The fuel pump is putting out around 21 PSI, a slight bit low, but good. Going back 20 minutes later, its still holding at 21 PSI, so there are no back flow problems and such.

Joey is coming back tomorrow, and we will continue to trouble shoot it.

Oh, Jan, was able to actually use her tiny hands and arms to reach up between the back bumper and wheel wells. She felt the 2 "missing tail lights" and was able to route them around the left, and now are in place where they should be! Problem solved!

Woo Hoo! Closer by the day

Ok, digging through some boxes, I found a new Throttle Position Sensor that I purchased some time ago. I was sure that I had bought one, and just could not find it today while Joey was here. So I started digging tonight, and found it I replaced the bulbs in my two 500w halogen shop lights, and installed the TPS. Now to wait till tomorrow and hopefully get it running correctly.

For quite a while, it has just so overwhelming on what all has yet to be done. I would just look at it, get discouraged at it, and put the car cover back on it LOL. Now I am getting a bit of a "second wind" again, and actually wanting to work on the car and get it done.

Did you write in the other thread that you are getting 21 psi fuel pressure?
