Picless (unless I get a bunch of time tomorrow while packing the garage) update:

5 spark plugs
3 solder connections
1 temp sensor
1 intake tube
1 cobrahead coupler
1 weather pack (just need to plug it in)
1 FPR adjustment to correct fp
1 AN line connection (meth)
1 battery install
1 belt install
1 can of seabreeze in the gas tank
1 tune read
1 tune conversion
1 tune segment copy
1 tune write
1 turn of the key

until lift off



unless, of course, it won't turn over... Then the list becomes all of the above, plus

1 shipped truck to NY

 

and 1 complete truck before Grippy!

 

Looks like option B

 

What no start???

 

Nope -- cranks but no start. My dak digital gauges are acting funny too (both read 0 despite having FP and vacuum).

 

That sucks man. I hope you can get it figured out easily.

 

Those dakota digitals are finiky anyway, unless you are 100% sure they worked during this build, I wouldn't sweat them. I'd check FP and MAP manually. This sucks.

 

Dammit! The gauge was actually working...

I put in an aeromotive on the rail gauge today. During the install, I discovered that the fuel rail was bone dry... I've checked both pumps by running power to each, and neither results in fuel coming out the fuel lines.

So I either have a pinched line (although they are steel hard lines), I plugged line, or pumps that run, but don't pump (two of them). Funny thing is that about 4 months ago when I installed the fuel system, I had fuel in the lines. Then I bolted up the tranny and set it at height...

I'm guessing that I crushed the lines with the tranny and will need to drop the tranny down and replace all the fuel lines.


Oh - prior to doing this, I verified that I:

a) have spark
b) have injector pulse

just no fuel


Maybe it's just time for a fuel cell and real lines....

 

Short update: I WIN!!!


Long update: to follow later this week (including new pics and maybe video muhuahahahahha)

 

Congrats! It's alive!!!!
