Getting the rod back in was easy, I'm having trouble getting the clutch to bleed out. I get no pedal pressure. Do you think you might be able to help me with that? I'm going to work on the car for a bit after work today.

Messed with it again on Sunday.
I cleaned the air flow meter, replaced cap and rotor, ran seafoam through the car, tested the TPS (found it was sticking). I also adjusted the leading timing.

What still needs to be done:
-finish checking timing
-install replacement TPS
-check 6 port actuators
-check fuel pressure
-test temp sensor
-test air flow meter
-test ecu
-run codes
-replace air filter (very hard to find)
-change all fluids including tranny and rear
-grease everything
-clean interior

YOU probably won't do anything because YOU are never there. LOL

And guys, I haven't left for home yet, probably tomorrow morning, so I'll be here tonight if you want to stop by.
