My radiator was leaking pretty bad after sitting for ~5 months. This forum told me to let it go or a while as it might seal up again and sure enough after a week or so it stopped leaking. Not sure I trust it in the long run though...

I was lucky enough to get a Griffin on the Group buy and it is great..
The best part was being able to put a petcock in the drain area ...
I like the drain, very cool!

Joshua setup the M-Tune to control it. Injectors are 80# from Rogue.

What is it with these cars sometimes? Get soooo close and find another "while you're in there"......

Anxiously awaiting the video of the first start up

Shawn, we're comparing logs It would be good to see different types of engine designs compared with eachother. Where the gains and drop offs are.

Who ever re-did the wiring harness messed something up and I have a no start. LOL

Tracing it down with Josh but it has been freezing cold here the last couple day so progress has been slow. Hopefully tonight.

Probably have a break in the wire to the connector on your muffler bearing

Freezing cold????

It's 20 degrees warmer there than here. If I was down there I'd be walking around in shorts! Suck it up and get back out there!

Well, after 3 nights of testing my harness and a lot of help from Rogue, I found my harness issue that resulted in my no start condition. I was so sure I had messed something up with the harness but in the end it was just an open wire that had nothing really to do with my refurb. I replaced all the sensor connectors and tested all of them for connectivity but did not do connectivity testing on the firewall connector (up by brake master cylinder). Pin 35 (DME power) was open. I could not find any damage but somewhere it was open. Ran a new wire and she fired right up.

I really want to thank Rogue for his help. He spent a lot of time helping me and his service was above and beyond.

Few things to sort out but overall everything looks good.
