Freaking engineers.

And the rest of us just zero out the level on the front halo……….. :0

Looks great. I feel like I may have slicks in my future for next year.

James did you run this weekend?
Any feedback for us?

I didn't race. I wasn't feeling super great yesterday so I decided to take a down day and binge watch Rings of Power.....

Started the engine swap a couple weeks ago.

The car is mostly back together. Still have a bunch of small electrical items to finish up (headlights, turn signals, tail lights, etc.). Also need to finish mounting the actual HE and finish that plumbing.

I tried bumping the starter with the key just to see if I got anything but no love. I hear a bunch of relays click but the start solenoid doesn't trigger. I'm hoping I just missed a sensor somewhere.

 

[Desert Sasqwatch]

Or the LAN loop or a ground or a connector or....going back into the wire harness moves things around and hope there is no broken connection somewhere. You will find it though, we have confidence in your abilities!!! Oh and great progress!

The computers are talking to each other. I can read codes and the turn signals/lights work. I can also see the throttle body move. I'm sure it's something simple that will become more apparent after I finish cleaning up the 40 other unterminated wires...

Lights and turn signals don’t mean the data is working. Low beam work without a module and turn works directly through the bcm only.

The throttle body moving based on the accelerator pedal movement does mean the computers are working and communicating properly.

I'm sorry to hear that.

 

[escapepilot]

I has a similar issue and had to add a ground strap from engine to chassis.

 

[jennam]

Ok. I know why my starter doesn't hit. I don't have the purple trigger wire hooked up. In fact, I can't find the purple trigger wire at all....

Looks like I'll be pulling the motor back out and cutting the wrap off the engine harness.....

Fun times....Bad words, bad words, BAD WORDS. ALL. THE. BAD. WORDS. (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

 

[Gtstorey]

Harness can be removed with engine in place. Or just run a new wire from the fuse box to the starter. Or a separate push button for the starter.

 

[jennam]

Ok. Finally found the purple wire.

Before I put the motor back in, what kind of cover goes here:

 

[Ross]

A black plastic cover. Maybe I can find a pic...

Well, I couldn't find a picture, so I went out to my goblin, couldn't see it, so I went out to my shop, and the spare engine & transmission are the best picture I could get.

Any ideas what the part number is on that cover? I'm not having much luck finding it. Or does anyone have an extra they'd be willing to part with?

 

[Ross]

Aluminum HVAC tape. Nobody can see it in a goblin.
