Crazy idea... Reply #16 – June 30, 2009, 10:35:00 PM Both grounding the Tan/LG wire and making a Jumper wire didn't work. I do have 12 volts to the power wire (pin 1).I tried running the volt meter from pin 1 to Pin 40 and Pin 60. A diagram I have says those two are the power grounds, and run to the battery. Both showed 0V. Could I have 2 bad grounds, or am I messing up the test? Quote Selected

Crazy idea... Reply #22 – July 06, 2009, 11:30:30 AM Quote from: tireshredder;278401New fuel pump stop priming on me. Impact switch is fine. Checked relay, I think it's good. New computer didn't solve it either. Checked repinning due to mass air conversion, and it's good except the fuel pump monitor, but I thought it was unnecessary. It primes when I ground the Fuel Pump test port, which only skips over the EEC, correct? The new computer was a reman. Now, unless there is anything else I can check, I have a solution. I could run a wire and switch from the starter solenoid or ignition to the fuel pump or the relay. The only problem is that this would leave it on all the time while running, and I don't know if this would hurt it. I need to get the car moving and running, to see if the engine swap is good.Anyone say boo?i had the same problem with my 88 t-bird, look under the running board on the passinger side and you might find a bare wire the can be respliced Quote Selected
Crazy idea... Reply #23 – July 06, 2009, 06:36:07 PM It was the ground. Took it off when I painted, never put it back on. Oh, the little things you don't know...Fuel pump primes, but the injectors don't fire (no clicking). These are 19 lbs. I had 24's in there before, but i switched computers. Going to swap the injectors/MAF/EEC out later this week and see what happens. Quote Selected

Crazy idea... Reply #26 – July 19, 2009, 10:44:57 PM Ok, update.After I swapped computers, I tried starting a few times. Backfired the first couple tries, but I think that was from gas getting down there while swapping injectors. Injectors are clicking. Did read the computer codes. TPS voltage wrong and a Fuel pump monitor code (didn't hook that up yet). Fixed the TPS voltage, and still no good. Will look into it more Tuesday. Guess I'll double check timing... Quote Selected
Crazy idea... Reply #27 – July 30, 2009, 10:00:20 PM Update.Haven't checked timing, cause engine didn't seem happy with me turning it by hand. Fuel pressure is fine. Backfired a bit when I cranked it tonight, but still no smell of fuel.Would it be a bad idea to unbolt the distributor and rotate it a bit, just till it starts firing? I know this is how the old carb guys tuned it, but I'm not sure if the EEC would enjoy that... Quote Selected
Crazy idea... Reply #28 – August 06, 2009, 07:20:05 PM Ok, Set timing. 10 BTDC, like stock. Nothing except the smell of gas...This car has serious issues... Quote Selected
Crazy idea... Reply #29 – August 06, 2009, 07:37:02 PM Did you disconnect the SPOUT when you set the timing? Quote Selected
