Well congradulations, and 'Good Luck' to you myfriend. May your injectors be un-clogged, and your oil prressure be perfect.
Do yourself a favor and make sure you have oil in the engine. For some reason I checked mine just before I turned it over. 5 low.
Let us know what happens

I cut wire 'G' on the AC actuator today and ran two wires out to the accumulator. I installed a compressor cycling switch and wired this all togeather. Back in the cabin I connected the two new wires to the ends of wire 'G' . I now have a low pressure / compressor cycling switch in the line as a Fiero V6 would have that uses the same HR6 compressor. I will add a high pressure cut off switch to the high side port under the accumulator before I add R134A.
Thanks to fierocarparts for the donated factory connector and switch. Steve, You Da Man.
I had added a grounding eye and connected it to the compressor control relay, and the fuel pump relay. But I have changed my mind and will run these two wires insde the cabin and ground them to the ECM ground wires. It has it's own grounding eye. This way it will clean up some of the wires inside the engine bay. Also all the wires running to the FP and AC relay's will be togeather and no wires leaving that part of the looming. See the FP relay in the picture below. It will work out much better.
After seeing this picture from Mickey_Moose I have decided to redo some of my harness to attempt to correct some of my 'rats nest' on the engine.

I am sure I will not get it to look that nice, but better than what I now have. Thanks MIckey_Moose for the inspiration.
Thats all today

I usually run it for about 3 hours at about 80°C - maybe over kill, but that is what I have done and had no issues ( 3 sets of 2.8, 4 sets of 4.9 and 2 sets of the Ford 19lbs injectors - used in a couple of 4.9's). I then blew air through the injectors (activated) both ways.

That was good advice about the oil. My oil pan was dry.
I don't have my fuel lines connected yet, but wanted to see if the starter would at least crank over the motor. I disconnected the fuel pump relay so that fuel wouldn't squirt all over the engine compartment and burn down the garage. Then I hit the key and the motor cranked smoothly, best of all the accessory belt didn't fly off. So far so good.
I couldn't resist. I poured a little gas down the throttle body and then hit the key. It lit right up!
I am a happy man. The ignition works, now it's time to finish the fuel system.

Big smile too I'll bet. I was just there a few days ago. I'm still grinnin!!!!!!!!!
I am at a stand still until I can get all 8 injectors to fire. One is still refusing to squirt. I have an ultrasonic cleaner that is supposed to be here tomorrow. If that doesn't work I will have to wait untill Christmas presents for the grandchildren is finished before I can play with the budget . I am gonna start on the exhaust I think next week, as I have most of that stuff here now. We will have grandchildren here untill Sunday afternoon. No playtime allowed.

Got my Ultrasonice cleaner off of the Fedex truck today. I have the injector in there now. It only runs for three min's at a time, so I have to keep turning it on. I am gonna run it threw a hour and a half befor I try to see if it will squirt tomorrow sometime. I have had some PB Blaster in bithn ends for the past few days.

You can't override the 3 minute timer? You might be able to bypass it. Dont' mind me. I modify everything.

Just a thought before you waste too much time on the injector - check it with an ohm meter. Put the meter across the 2 pins - should be low resistance, if not the coil is bad.

Great idea. Ill do it right now and get back to you.
Set on 200K it measured 00.0
A good one measured 00.0,
On scale 200
Bad one 16.3
Good one 16.4
I checked three on the 200 scale from the 'good' pile. They all measure 16.XX

I'll just let it be I think. I have it here in my computer room. When it kicks off I'll just push the on button again.[This message has been edited by josef644 (edited 11-26-2009).]
