Shopped for speakers for the 968 in the 951. I was hoping to do an entry level system, but I made the mistake of listening to the Boston SPZ50's and 60's and I might be screwed. A pair of each in the 968 would do it for me. Absolutely amazing. Hopefully I'll have myself talked out of it by morning.

Soldered the power harness for my new gauges, and wideband controller to the car harness. Shouldn't have any issues! Also re-installed the center console and began tidying up the wiring under the dash.

Went to install pads and then found out that tirerack had the part number for the na pads under the turbo model so I had the wrong ones.

It wont start.

Tach bounce-check
Fuel-check
spark-check
spare DME relay-check
wiggled speed & ref sensorp-check.

Hell I tried starter fluid and it would fire but only for as long as there was starter fluid in the system.

IDK

It was running better than ever too.


I am going to get it in the AM. 4 hours one way.

Fuel pump maybe? Sounds like it isn't getting any fuel into the cylinders.

Is the electrical connector to the injectors on there properly? Mine didn't start when one had become disconnected. The other disconnected later and the car ran fine from 1000-4000 RPMS but had nothing after that.



good luck fixing it.

replaced the control switch (circled in blue) for the hot/cold temperature slide. What a pain in the a--.

The place I had taken to have my coolant changed broke one of the plastic pieces that the heater control valve cable and metal clip uses.

Moved it out of the garage and onto the street, replaced it with something reliable.
