socaldatsun Posted May 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 still got to work out a few kinks, injector 2-4 arent working even after we switched them with 1-3 so im guessing its the connectors it self. the water pump isnt turning so i gotta see whats up with that. and also getting some valve tick, couldnt tell from the motor sitting for too long or just its time Quote Link to comment

socaldatsun Posted May 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 so we cant get the motor to idle correct. injectors arent firing correctly swapped ecu and injectors around and still nothing. one thing was left so we took the harness apart. if all else fails then plan C begings...CARBS!!

socaldatsun Posted July 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 Been a while since I last posted, the truck is still in progress. This past week I decided to push it out an get it running. Got the radiator installed with sleeved hoses to make them fit. Also got some brackets for the fan to avoid using zip ties to hold it up Tried to de-rust the gas tank but found out I have a small hole plus a crap ton of rust. Might be picking up a fuel cell next week. Rigged up a throttle pedal set up. Used a hard body pedal bracket and cable with a 240sz gas pedal. Welded a bolt to the pedal and put a spacer behind the bracket to pick up the slack in the cable Dropped her off at the shop yesterday for alignment, exhaust and having them make me an intake pipe Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 I dont beleive you,video of it running or its all a lie. Quote Link to comment
socaldatsun Posted July 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 Had to tow it to the shop cause of two things. Speed censor is broken so oil just falls out of the tranny, gas tank has a hole. Other then that its "drive able" but still has that sputter at mid rpm. So wanna get everything in to troubleshoot it correctly Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 still not buying it.lol Quote Link to comment
socaldatsun Posted September 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 So I picked up the truck on Friday. The guy said the muffler was a little smokey thought it was just cause it hasn't been used in a while. As I drive it I notice it was a little hot and every time I pull to a stop the idle staid high for a good 10-15 seconds after I dip the clutch. "Did a little research and said it could be the tps, throttle or the temp sensor. " when I got to the freeway there was a bit of traffic so down shift to slow down and the motor bogged again. Looked around the bay to check everything. Found the maf wire half way chewed up and two spark plug wires came undone."might explain the bogging" I get into the city and saw a lot more smoke so some how my motor is burning oil:/. I've done a comprecion test a while back and everything seemed normal. So the guy from the shop is coming down tomorrow to check it out, trying to make it to jccs! Quote Link to comment
socaldatsun Posted September 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 I also got my fuel cell mounte by them, it's a little bigger then I thought but it fits x) My dads project that he hasn't touched, not much of a car guy.. Quote Link to comment
