Project Shrek: Ignition, engine start!
We have ignition!
It was even hard getting to the garage, with all the snow that fell these last few days.
After priming the oil pressure 4-5 times to get oil everywhere, checking for spark and fuel, he turned the key. Started first try and settled to an even idle, with all 6 firing.
We now have an electric problem with the fuel pump, that seems to originate from a bad catalytic converter monitor relay. Once that is solved, we can attack the next step, brakes. After that it is body shop and it's done.
Might not look like much but it now officially runs.
