Thread: Electrical fun!

So, I got my car almost all put together. I need to swap throttle bodies still, the idle speed stuff isn't hooked up (or present) on the one in the car, but I have a spare with everything on it. So, for shits and giggles, I though I'd give her a turn, and see what happens. The answer is nothing. Also, my power windows don't work. Neither does the radio. The power door-locks, and the headlights both function though.

So, what would prevent my car from cranking over (yes I was pushing on the clutch, it's crazy tight, but I did put it all the way to the floor)?

It *appears* that everything else (sans A/C system) is hooked up. There's a couple taps off the guage wires, where it appears the guy I got it from ran his own guages at some point. Oh, and there's one wire in particular that I though might be the problem. It comes off the ECU, the second pin on the bottom-right. It's got a solderless connector hooked to it, but I don't see where it would go to.

Help! She's SOOOO close to running...

Of course :-)

So fuses is the best anybody can suggest!?

How come nobody can say, hey, make sure the fool didn't have an alarm, or turbo timer?

Nonetheless, I found a couple hacked wires in the ignition switch, replaced them, hooked up the idle speed controller, guess what. Vroom!


So, now I need someone to help me tune her. All I have for tuning is a GM MAF with MAFT. For now. I will get a WBO2 as soon as I can afford one (and then DSMLink... again $$$), but if someone with a pocketlogger and some tuning expertise would be interested in helping me with the initial settings (I've driven her around the block, so she 'runs' but... )
