Update on the 69!
I took a weekend off and drove 400 miles home from College Station to try and get a little done on my car. The injectors were changed in about 20 minutes and fired the car up. The side we had checked all the plug wires on has all cylinders firing. On the otherside was another story! So I pulled out my dad's multimeter and started checking the plug wires...I'm still unsure how but i had 3 or the 4 wires on the wrong cylinders! I changed that and started the car again and it didn't want to idle?! (This after it ran for 5 minutes on 5 cylinders). We had to help the computer hold an idle until the computer could find something it liked. We then ran it for codes and found a few codes and ended up replacing the map sensor. One code is now gone and need to chase down a few more. The last major problem was the waterpump is bad. I changed the thermostat hopeing that that was the reason it wasn't flowing water into the radiator but it wasn't. Radiator hoses aren't even warm, they remain cool while the engine climbs over 240 degrees!!. The car has now been driven and all gears work (1-6 and Reverse) and we're ready for spring break to roll around so we can wrap this project up for now! I have a video of the second drive we took in it (me and my dad cruising up the street) and i'll post it as soon as it's off the camera and hosted.
Thanks for reading my rambling.
