    Progress Thread Time For A Revival Of My '91 Gt

    Yeaaa..... Finally got to pulling and tearing down the motor over the past few weeks. I will let the pictures do most of the talking. Gross. Nothing obvious, other than one side is a little 'dryer' than the other. It had been a while since it ran, maybe that is why? WTF is that? No...

    Hey all. It has been a long winter and so there was no progress with the car but I finally got to replacing the fuel pump. The fuel pressure is great now, 32-45 psi from idle to sans vacuum. I was stoked, it was time for some cruising with the nice weather. I finally went out last week when it...

    Well... That didn't seem to do it. Going to take it for a quick drive and see if the codes come back but replaced the filter, pressures the same. I replaced the regulator, pressures the same. Hoping I don't have to drop the tank, any other ideas for why my pressure would be low?

    Finally back at it. Had to take a hiatus from the project, life just got too busy. I bought a few fittings and borrowed a gauge from work. Turns out my fuel pressure is sitting around 20 at idle and 30 at "full throttle," I just removed the vacuum from the pressure regulator. So off I go getting...

    So I tested the O2 sensors and the respective wiring harness as per @jrichker's very helpful posts regarding codes and remedies. After being warmed up and the car idling, the O2 sensors were rich on one side(~0.75V RH) and lean on the other (~0.250V LH). This confuses me a bit since the codes...

    Well, I replaced the ECT sensor and cleaned the female plug's contacts with some fine grit sandpaper wrapped around a small drill bit. My Code 21* is now gone but 12* showed up, hah. I took off the IAB and cleaned that up, it was quite dirty. Ran the KOER again and I am still getting that code...

    Progress has slowed down a bit unfortunately. I received the new ECT sensor and did a simple test before removing the old one and installing the new one. My thought may be unfounded but I figured it was 80* outside so the error shouldn't remain if I just plug the new sensor in and lay it...

    Thanks @84Ttop. I am trying to keep chugging. I hope to get some temporary cheap painting(rattle can) on the plastics until a bigger paycheck comes in. Either way, I tested my ECT sensor AGAIN after those codes still came up and this time they read 0.15V after only a minute of running/idling...

    Your 1st Time Down The Drag Strip

    I will have to agree with @A5literMan. Start off easy and slowly work your way into more and more slipping of clutch to prevent tire spin and then rip through gears. My first run wasn't bad for a first, iirc I ran a 14.9. I forget the trap speed, but I was pleased. My next runs went as from to...

    Hope everyone had an awesome 4th! :flag: I had a nice sunny weekend of beer and friends, you know the usual. As for the car, I took it for a quick drive and got the codes to come back after clearing them the day before. Only KOER 21,41,91 came up this time, KOEO was all clear and same with CM...

    Update: It has been a few weeks since I last posted. I have been crazy busy with work and nice weather activities. Otherwise the car is finished being polished and looks tons better. Plastics will need some paint at some point but for now I think I will just enjoy the car as is until...

    Coming back to the starter issue, I replaced the flywheel yesterday and it is a night and day difference. I can barely hear the starter before the car fires right up. So satisfying to finally have that issue resolved. I wound up just going with a factory replacement. As much as I'd like to think...

    Thanks @boostfrk, it very much is satisfying to have it have been in such great shape, only to see it come on hard times and get back up to where it was. I am getting there. I just started polishing up the paint last week and it still has a nice shine left under all that dirt that accumulated...

    Brake line finished! I was able to find all the tooling I needed at Harbor Freight for only ~$40. Picked up some 3/16" line at the local automotive store and went to town. Thanks @madmike1157 for the 'tipping point' advice. It didn't take me long to get the short line made. Tool learning curve...

    Considering the state of the car at the time I purchased them, I didn't see the rush. However, now that the car is basically driveable sans that one brake line, I am definitely leaning towards that option. Especially considering that it is such a short line. Brb, off to the store...

    So short rant time... I ordered some brake lines almost a month ago now and they have yet to arrive. I was told almost a week after ordering them that they were on 'backorder', but should be in "this week". I called again this week and they said they won't have them in stock to deliver until the...

    Well the car is one step closer to being back in action, I got it insured and registered. Now I am just waiting on some brake lines to come in, get the tires mounted, as well as a couple small odds and ends like the speedometer gear that I destroyed, somehow, years ago. I did, however, bump the...

    Thanks for the response @95BlueStallion I checked the codes and did as you suggested and cleaned the MAF a little bit. It looked clean but it couldn't hurt to try. I took it for a quick ride afterwards and it felt maybe better? I am half wondering if it just has been so long that I forget how...

    She has driven her first mile in years today! I am very pleased with the project so far. I tried timing the ignition today as the first half mile seemed underpowered. Correct me if I am wrong but this is how I did it. While the car is off, remove the ignition bung. Start the car and with a...
