Wonky's Back !!

The treasured package from University Motors arrived this afternoon- so when I arrived home, my new little o-rings were waiting for me.

All nice, and round......

and in one piece.

So -

New orings all around - fuel rail installed, cables (now where does this one go? ) hooked up, tank sitting upright with fuel line and cables attached -

Carbtune in place.

Screwdriver - all the idle adjust screws all the way in - then back out 2.5 turns.

Ignition on - (yes, check the kill switch)

fuel rail pressurizes -

and ....... VROOOM !!!! She starts right up.

and still idles on 3.

:ermm: :ermm:

oh....... .

OK. I check everything. seems ok.

push down on the FI connectors - #3 goes 'snick!'

OK. Now it runs on all 4.

Perform the TBS - and it's spot on and stable. Cleanest it's idled in a long time.

remove the Carbtune.

Install the heat shield. Torque down the T-bar. Connect the pump wires.

Start her up again .... WTF !!! ?!?!?!?

And it's running on three, or two? Or maybe ... I don't know !!!

:cray:

by this time, I'm thinking, OK - been a long day, guess I'll go inside and deal with this LATER.

So I'm standing at my work bench - holding back tears ..... and I look down...... and ..... and. ....

there's three vacuum port caps. taking up space on my workbench. So - I look at them a bit - -

and they don't climb up off the bench and install themselves.

Tbar off, heat shield off, INSTALL THE $%#%$ caps......

Start her up , and yeah baby !!!! She's fixed !!!!

At least until the next time I install something, that is.

All - thanks for the help in troubleshooting - the kind words of support - and just being there with me during this process. Holding my hand is a very special feeling ............

kind of like... ahh.... novacaine?

Now what on earth am I supposed to do with this extra set of clutch plates that I bought just in case ????

Ya know, I never did have that Jack Daniel's - watchya think? Maybe I should mail it to Jestal !!
