Short update tonight, I'm beat... I planned to spend 2, maybe 3 hours working today, and stopped at 9.
Things I did today:
- Adjusted the tune, adding fuel during start and reducing the timing advance. Starts much better now.
- After above starting and heat cycling, changed the oil to the second round of break-in.
- Corrected a wiring problem on my Accusump enable control (not fun to tear into my harness when my wiring was so nicely run the first time)
- During the re-wire, found a blown fuse on my fan circuit, explaining why only 1 fan was running
- Reassembled the console
- Installed the hood (thanx Gerno!)
- Checked and topped off all the fluids.
- Charged the low battery
That doesn't seem like enough, but oh well. The wiring took a couple of hours alone. I was all set to drive her home tonight from Eric's, but unfortunately she's overheating. I thought before that was due to the one fan being dead and the other having the radiator air flow blocked, but that's not the case. Steve suggested I may have trapped air which is likely the case, so I'll pull the upper hose tomorrow and fill through there. Hopefully that's all it is.
I also found that the Holley was pulling timing because my Air Temp sensor wasn't connected, which was causing it to idle rough. I disabled that for now, and my idle is much better.
The clutch feels good as I backed out of the shop and ran through the parking lot a bit before she got hot. I'm happy with our fix and decision to stick with the Hydramax.
Tomorrow, diagnose and fix the engine temp problem and go for a drive. Then drive some more, and some more, and then some more.
I also need to make some phone calls to arrange tuning and b!tch to AGR about their pump reservoir...
Hopefully tomorrow will be the driving day!
