So the fuel pressure issue is confusing. When I start the car from cold, the fuel pressure will be normal. But if I stop the car and restart it warm, the fuel pressure drops down to around 27psi and slowly builds up to about 34psi. It will still rise with throttle, but it's lower than usual.
I did some work on the car today. I figured I'd start tearing into it since it will probably be too cold to drive it now. I removed the side mirrors again and pulled them apart so I can take all the Ganador pieces to get 3D scanned. I also removed the column covers to get them scanned, and I'm going to get the triangles on the inside and outside of the doors scanned, although I think there is already a file somewhere for those. I'm also going to get the RE-Amemiya sleek headlight buckets scanned because I have an idea for a cleaner mounting solution for those, and the charcoal canister so I can make one that can be opened and the charcoal swapped out, and the secondary fuel rail so I can enlarge the ID for the two extra injectors, and one of the relay boxes in the engine bay because the mount for mine broke.
This past Tuesday my alarm set itself and started going off with the passenger door open. Normally it would set itself with the door closed for about ten seconds, which I think was already wrong, but it wasn't so bad. CPU2 is known to fail after so many years, and the alarm is one of the things that goes through the CPU. I had bought a new CPU2 a couple years ago but I haven't installed it yet. I pulled the old one today in order to open it and check it out, and I noticed a broken wire to one of the connectors, and that broken wire goes to the passenger door. The last time I fixed some of the other wires on that connector I just used splices and I'm going to redo those too so they're soldered nice. And I broke the connector while removing it so I ordered a new one.
I only worked on it for a couple hours today and got quite a bit done. I guess it doesn't take near as long when you're tearing stuff apart vs putting it back together.
