Re: DE swap - Starting issues

Will do. It'll be a few before I get it turned over. Quick fix on the coolant line. Definitely will do brake cleaner tip!

Re: DE swap - Starting issues

Also, with the egr system removed. Will that cause a significant difference in trying to start it? With low 60 degree weather?

Re: DE swap - Starting issues

From the PVC pipe. They were removed and capped with filters. The line that runs off the front valve cover sucks massive air. So I guess I answered myself lol. Its going to be a pain installing it since the intake manifold is almost up to the firewall. Could that really be the issue? What other ...

Re: DE swap - Starting issues

Thank you bornsticky! Plug wires didn't match up with the disty. Now! It fully turns over! But it runs for two seconds, then dies unless throttled hardcore. I've noticed a massive air sucking sound. My friend removed the oil cooler lines from the front and rear valve covers, and put mini air filters ...

DE swap - Starting issues

De motor swap.
Using old K8 parts.
I am getting fuel, spark, and air! When I go to start the car, it will crank fairly strong. Then it starts dying off slowly (crank-crank-crank-stall-pop-crank---crank---crank). I got piston one set to top dead center on combustion side. Tweaked with the disty while ...

Re: De swap- No power

This is a major short circuit. You have either connected the battery backwards or the positive cable from the battery is being grounded. Given that you've blown the main fuse there may be other damage to electronic components. You must find and fix the short first. Trace the positive battery cable ...

Re: De swap- No power

Im sure their correct; neg. is grounded (black/yellow ccable)near the fire wall, and positive is right by the Main fuse box. Every ground I went through and grinded them clean, especially the ones the battery cables lead to... Man.... i'm so lost...So close too lol.
