Apparently, modifying the name of a file on the SD card for the Autovox will cause it to boot loop lol. I had added to the file name of the video where I almost T-boned the idiot on 105, and once I removed all the files, the dashcam is working fine now. I was looking into the CAN wiring last night a...

The issue with the Autovox seems to be the SD card. I had just put it back in after having it out for a couple months, and I had changed the name on the video of the truck crossing in front of me, so I'm wondering if that's why it's losing its mind. I'm going to reformat it and see if that fixes it....

I think the coolant seepage is fixed. I bought some gaskets and a new thermostat and seal, but Napa had thermostat seals also so I picked up one from them, and it occurred to me that it was probably just that and dripping down onto the water pump making it look like it was leaking also. I pumped out...

I got the car back to driving last week and I've been driving it most days this week. I do have a slight coolant seepage where the water pump mates to the manifold, and also where the filler neck mounts to the manifold. I reused the water pump gasket because it was still good from when I replaced it...

I started the car and bled the coolant and power steering tonight, but I discovered a couple problems. I think I have an issue with the front harness that I installed three years ago, or the junction box by the driver's left foot. The EGI relay is getting power as soon as I connect the battery, and ...

I worked for almost 12 hours yesterday trying to finish the car so I could attend the meet, but no luck. I almost finished it tonight though. I assembled the most of the dash, finished the fuel pump harness, and picked up more coolant and power steering fluid. I pumped almost all the fuel out of the...

So much has happened over the last couple weeks I can't even remember everything. I finished the harness, and upon installing it, immediately broke every single coil pack connector, two of them when connecting and two when disconnecting. The locking tabs broke, specifically. I contacted MilSpecWirin...

The heat shrink I need won't be here until Monday, so I can't finish the harness until then. However, now I need to do some other things before finishing the harness and running the car anyway. I found a new way to route the CAS cable, and ideally I need to swap the water pump manifold to do it. I c...

I've been building the harness over the last week. I have all the wires added, although I might have to change a couple of the ignition coil sensor ground wires because I messed up and somehow grabbed a shorter wire and don't have one long enough for the coil at the front of the engine, although I d...

I replaced the bearings in the Pineapple Racing idler pulley today, and I'm a little worried because they're loose inside the pulley. You can almost press them in by hand. And the old bearings were like that too, they pressed out super easy. I fear the pulley itself is too worn, and I'm not sure I c...

I've been buying all the parts needed to build the harness. I started digging through old info to see why I can't use the wiring from the EGI relay to power the ECU, and I ran the wire to it again, and again the car wouldn't turn off when I removed the key. After some troubleshooting, I discovered t...

One of Chris B's friends that came through town several months ago posted about finding that the early 2000s Protoge wiper motor fits the FD, although it uses a different connector but the same terminals so it can just be repinned. I love having spare parts, so I picked one up from the local UPAP fo...

I got an updated file from OneGauge today and the fuel level was a bit closer, at 90 full on the gauge, and the ohms readings were all over the place depending on where I measured and different things with the multimeter. They said the fuel level gauge is already filtered. I've been thinking about m...

I bought a new Haltech flying lead harness from Joe, but I've discovered that it won't work for me because it's missing the second Knock input wires, so it kinda defeats the purpose lol. I'm not sure if I'll have to buy the harness from Haltech or what. The one I got from Joe is a 1500 premium harne...

I got another updated hex file a few days ago and almost all the gauges update much quicker, although the fuel and oil pressure gauges are still somewhat slow. And the flex fuel sensor isn't bad, it just had the wrong calibration, and Ryan Heinrich got into it tonight and fixed that and set up my kn...
