    Cold start gremlin - Bad A9L maybe?

    You said the ECT sensor was fine. How did you check it and what readings did you get? Also, is your coolant full when cold? I've had new ECTs that have been bad right from the store...

    Injectors not firing...

    Make sure you have no wires pinched anywhere. Try it with the TPS disconnected. You obviously have power to the ECM, but the TFI module doesn't seem to be getting the necessary info to the injectors. I think pins 12(#3),13(#4),14(#5),15(#6),42(#7),52(#8),58(#1) and 59(#2) are the grounding...

    The plenum is what all the air moves through from the blower.

    heater questions

    If the coolant lines are still hooked up, you just need power to the blower resistor pack. The wires to the controls should still be there. Hook up a 30 amp toggle switch between the + feed and the wire to the blower speed you desire (low, med or high). You will also have to manually wire the 3...

    Electrical Problems...Please Help.

    Try looking inside the accordian cover for the wiring between the door and the body. Wires often break in there and perhaps you have a few contacting one another?

    What is the fuel capacity of a 90 LX?

    Well, it just sounds strange to me that so many people have a fuel tank with the exact same outside dimensions and yet the amount of fuel that fits inside the tank varies so much. Last I remember from my geometry class, the volume of an object can be pretty much determined by its outside...

    What is the fuel capacity of a 90 LX?

    If the engine vacuum sucked up your tank or the baffles broke loose or if you put in an oversized fuel pump or if your fill pipe it too long or if your vent is not working or if you're filling it on a hill, it holds about 12.9 gal. If it's a 'normal' tank, it holds 15.4.

    High Powered New Cars

    Hate to drag up an old thread, but couldn't resist. My wife and I were riding with my son on the way home from the mall on Sat. night, when we pulled up behind a real nice looking and sounding 69 or 70 Chevelle SS396. He was obviously out cruising and I commented that most of tose were the 325hp...

    The New Blue Moon Forum Style Released

    What's the problem???? Since you've gone to this "new look" forum, every time I visit the site I have to send for a new password. My old password doesn't work and it won't "remember" the new one I put in the last visit. I have to log in every time now. If this is the new, I want the old one back!

    Replaced Fuel Pump and Regulator...Survey Says, Still does the same damn thing

    Make sure your fuel return line is flowing. Has this always been happening since you had the car or did it start after you changed something?

    67 EFI conversion... no fire

    I would try one of the late model coils and see if that works. The TFI probably doesn't provide enough amperage or duration to allow the old style coils to build up voltage enough to fire.

    stupid question about emissions

    Worry about passing emissions insp. first. You don't pass, it doesn't matter how much you lose in power, you won't be driving it. Best thing for your pump and related items (except the cats) is to pull stuff off a U-Pull-It junkyard engine. Give you some experiance with not too much cost.

    WTF? Why are these 2 wires shorting each other out on my 90 LX 4 cyl swap? *PICS*

    The EEC has 2 power sources. 1 is 'hot' all the time for 'keep-alive-memory' power. The second is through the activation of the EEC relay by the ignition switch. The only way to be sure without frying anything else is get pictures of the pin-outs of the EEC 60pin connector. I think they changed...

    Look under the valve cover and get the casting # off the heads. Did you mean the plug diameter was too large?
