Ryan,

I really appreciate your help.

: )

I doubt the car will sell at $500.

Maybe it's a starter. but, gee whiz. that's not something that I can just swap out to test.

The only way out is that way through. - I've been really upset over this. Took a few hours to listen to some Zen MP3 last night. Brother took me out for a beer I'm feeling ...

Car looks good - very little rust.
Car needs work - of the mechanical kind, as it will not start.
It does start under optimal conditions, (ambient temperature is above 0 and it's dry)
I need it gone, looking at it makes me angry- because I purchased it, less then two months ago for $1400 and spent ...

To hell with this car! I'm getting rid of it pronto!
500 bucks takes it!

I can't post to the FS thread

After ignition coil - still no start.

This thing needs to be in a garage, fixed by someone who has tools, and knows what they are doing.

I do not have tools, I do not have a garage, I do not know what I'm doing.

I've put in a good effort to fix this car. But I have done all that I can.

Can ...

The vultures are circling over my GS. It will not start in cold weather, it's useless to me.

I need to contact a mechanic in Calgary to help me get this vehicle running.
After purchasing it, buying parts, changing fluids, and a trip to mechanic - along with cab fair and loss of use related costs ...

Ah Krap - I can't start mine, and I'm trying to get out of it at $500

So sick of this drama! constant repairs.

Ok, I started a new thread on testing the VAF - that is it's own topic.

For now, I've got my soldering IRON and a GM HEI module and lots of cable - YA-baby!

I wonder if my car will start tomorrow? It's snowing outside.

A few people seem to be having this problem. But they understood how to connect a multimeter to a VAF and test for voltage, rather then resistance. The wire harness to the VAF is in good shape. I do not want to cut into it, exposing the wires, and I doubt that's required. So, how in "Hells Bells ...

I was at the parts store looking for ether - or engine starting fluid.

They asked what I wanted to use it for.

They guy went into a long winded conversation of why that was a terrible idea...
ether burns white... explosive... dangerous... blah blah blah. No ether.

VAF-zilla!

According to the shop manual you can test the resistance on the VAF.

Using something called a "Circuit Tester." I have a multimeter. I do not have a circuit tester.

THA E2 E2 VC VS
pin1 pin2 pin3 pin4 pin5

When I read the resistance between THA and E2 (either E2 pin) I get around ...

Oh, man - not again.

Charging the battery now.
It rained last night.


How do we unplug an EGR?

Maybe I have a vacuum leak - but where would it be? End where can I can my hands on a bottle of ether!

I can step on the gas some - and nothing much happens, yet if I tap the gas repeatedly and quickly - I take off like a rocket! I need to open up a topic regarding this.

I'm going for another drive. - will keep you posted.
I think my camera is still in the car.
