Stage 1 complete!
I ran new fuel lines, but not without drama. I told the guy at the parts store I wanted 6' of 3/8" fuel line and even pointed it out to him. I didn't realize until 10pm that night he had given me 5/16" fuel line. I made it work, we'll just say some vaseline was involved.
I got the radiator and intercooler stuff figured out as well.
With the help of
@Ross by way of his detailed posts, I was able to track down the issue with my OBD II reader not working. On the LSJ, the data link connector (OBD II) pin 2 needs to connect to connector 1 pin 16 on the ECM. For some reason, I connected it to the low speed data bus which I validated by confirming OBD pin 1 and pin 2 had continuity. After I fixed that, it worked like a champ.
After scanning for codes, I have 2 confirmed and 1 pending
Confirmed are P0449 and P0452 - both having to do with the EVAP system. Since it is removed, I suspect these are expected codes. Is there a way to tell the system that things like this are gone?
The pending code is P0304 - cylinder 4 misfire. I guess I'll need to keep an eye on this one.
Now it's on to stage 2!!
