Re: The Undead Gateway Thread

Good luck on getting his car up and running again. Electrical can suck.

I'll check it out, thanks... but I am pretty sure I know how to do it, I'm just missing the socket extension to have clearance.... oh that and I found out my air compressor is defective [the drain valve doesnt close].

Well the cougars back on the road. the control arm was definitely bad [although even the new one hangs low when unsupported, so theres still some difference between the drivers and passanger... perhaps the sway bar positions are different between the 2].... oh and the car is developing **** for power. it still feels like the secondaries arent opening, but they are, and the engine revs up really fast but there is just NOTHING on the top end. I might have a vaccuum leak but somethings off. oh and I have an unknown check engine light. I'm still driving it around but just keeping it under 4k.

Re: The Undead Gateway Thread

hopefully by then i wont need it. ive got a race on sunday if your not doing anything. not to run to ride/spectate. luciano is supposed to be coming theres a "picnic" afterwards as well

did some work on it and it hit once or twice but i think from all the cranking yesterday its flooded. on top of that both the battery and the starter arent the greatest so its turning over sloooooooowly

Re: The Undead Gateway Thread

You sure PATS isn't killing the spark? I was talking to a friend of mine last night who had the exact same problem on his car, its because of the PATS, he had to hit unlock a bunch of times on his keyless entry to disable it.

Maybe you should make a post in problems or 3L performance? Not trying to tell you what to do but other people's input could be helpful here.
