project "headache"

Catang5oh · 09-12-2006, 09:30 AM

well, some of you probably remember this car from the pics months ago. Well after about 9 months i think i have finally made some headway on a title, i have a tag and the title app is in the states hands now. this car is the picture of whitetrash engineering( nothing directed toward your car Italian). there are more wires stripped back on this car than i will comment on. The air cond, power steering, and rear brake system all have been cannibilized. the steering column was broken to remove the key switch, guesss they didnt know it was easier to undo the ignition switch and use a screwdriver. oh and lets not forget the huge hole in the rear hatch area, i will refer to it as the fuel pump access door from now on. other than that the car is fairly straight.
first problem i had was no voltage to any part of the fuel system, but with a lot of reading, some help from you guys, and a voltmeter i ran it down to the pcm relay, it now will start without hotwiring the fuel relay, oh and that was one of the included accesories when purchased, 16 ga speaker wire to the batt and another to the red wire on fuel pump relay.

Glad you are getting it worked out, I know it is a hadache when things are hacked up like that.

Wow! Sounds like you are making progress.

well, it has ugly wheels that actually hold air, and it also has a key that really starts it.

You put air in the wheels?

Yes, everybody does.

If the wheel is cracked or the valve stem is bad, then air can certainly leak out of the wheel.
